  • Amanda is one of the GOATS

    In an industry where there are so many smoke & mirrors and a lot of BS, AW is one of the best of the best. Honored to be constantly learning from her wisdom and the integrity in which she unconditionally carries herself. Look no further for all the coaching truths you need. She’s your girl.

  • No BS here

    I’m a CFO and tax advisor for coaches and personal brands. I’ve seen how very successful coaches actually make their money. Amanda gives great advice and more importantly parses through the common but bad advice coaches often get. Must listen if you want to build a serious coaching business.

  • Relatable & applicable

    Amanda's podcast content is clean, clear, and implementable. She shares so much value with insight & experience, including mistakes! It's all important "stuff" to help listeners grow and learn. I've invested in FBL & SBO, and fully expect to enroll in BDC.

What I Wish I'd Known About Taxes Before I Hit $100K with Cindy Dillard
Q: What simple first step can a coach take to improve tax organization this season?
Start by pulling bank and credit card statements, categorize expenses (using simple tabs or QuickBooks properly—not QuickBooks Self-Employed), and focus on totals to build a clear view of deductible categories and overall spend.
What I Wish I'd Known About Taxes Before I Hit $100K with Cindy Dillard
Q: What are common deductions coaches often miss and should consider?
Deductions include home office or land improvements, vehicle and auto expenses, business-related software and subscriptions, internet and cell plans, and especially family-based deductions like paying your kids for work performed and bona fide (with time sheets).
What I Wish I'd Known About Taxes Before I Hit $100K with Cindy Dillard
Q: What is the practical difference between an LLC and an S Corp from a tax perspective?
An LLC can be taxed flexibly (as sole proprietor, partnership, or S Corp) and the S Corp election can provide payroll-based tax savings, but you must meet requirements (like paying yourself a W-2 if profitable) and maintain separate returns for the S Corp to keep the personal return clean.
