AGL 477: Chris Hallberg

AGL 478: Chris Miller on Taxes
Q: What strategies can high-income earners use today to reduce taxes while preserving business value?
Use a mix of depreciation allowances, compensation structures like capital accounts, and planning around reasonable salaries to avoid depressingly high tax bills while improving EBITDA and potential sale multiple.
AGL 478: Chris Miller on Taxes
Q: What are the biggest mistakes people make when selling a small business and planning taxes?
The main issue is not planning ahead; owners scramble when approached by buyers and fail to position the business for tax-efficient exit, including using trusts and strategic entity placement to erase gains before LOIs are signed.
AGL 473: Dustin Domerese
Q: What is the biggest mistake companies make during digital transformation?
The biggest mistake is allowing IT or a small executive group to drive the implementation without front-line involvement and real accountability, which leads to misaligned priorities and poor adoption.
