Like people, businesses who survive the test of time, thrive over numerous lifecycles, dodging obstacles like economic and tax changes. Tax and financial advisors are important professional partners in the journey. This is especially true when business owners become so consumed with the day-to-day aspects of running their business that they spend less and less time working on the investment in the business itself. The advisory role is to help business leaders take a broader view of the company and in process, to shore up business value for an exit down the line.
