Finding Lost Money with Alex Saladna - WickedFile [E165]
Q: Why would I need your technology?
It’s your extra day in the week without having to work an extra day because statement reconciliation isn’t where the issues occur; it’s all the other stuff that you don’t have time to get to.
Mailbox: Listener Questions Answered [E111]
Q: What should I know about discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses for hourly workers?
Overtime calculations must factor in non-discretionary bonuses, which can significantly raise the overtime pay rate a worker earns beyond their base pay.
Mailbox: Listener Questions Answered [E111]
Q: What are the pros and cons of accrual and cash accounting methods in an auto shop?
Cash basis accounting can misrepresent the financial picture as it recognizes income only when cash is actually received. Accrual recognizes income when earned, providing a more accurate financial snapshot.
Mailbox: Listener Questions Answered [E111]
Q: If I sell my shop at 80% of fair market value to one of my children, will they be able to write off the payments and I pay tax on payments as capital gains?
Selling stock to family members has implications; while it's tax-favored for sellers, the buyer won't get a deduction until they sell the business later. An asset sale may be more beneficial.
