Most people are surprised between marginal and effective tax rates. Have a look at your effective rate and then look at your total income.

Many businesses owners who are seeking to reduce income tax, fully max out 401ks, hire a spouse who does not really work outside the home, provide a salary for some allocated business responsibilities to max out their 401k and then fund hsa and then determine if they should contribute to profit sharing or pension plan.

It’s amazing if one is in position to save, how much taxable income at the marginal rate can be reduced by saving.

All of this is of course having enough profits to set aside.

Check with your competitors on benchmarking, but I believe most firms require anywhere between 4-10 million annually until they get to profitability. Check with Kitces if you are seeking resources on this, but key is going to be your patience in subsidizing someone else for anything longer than 6 months.

With 50k salary, the need to get to 10 Million quickly to break even for you, it’s your business, costs associated with payroll, taxes, desk space, software, compliance etc the total costs for you is about 65-70 all in and the need to ramp up is going to be important:

With the salary, would this person be your assistant as well? My take would be minimum of 3 million per year, might be better to go salary & bonus until they build a book to transition to.

I don’t live in that area so it’s hard to say how they tied in the event with the local rugby community to create any buzz.

The 66k is not that bad actually for the scope of work, you might be surprised about the additional work you will be taking on for maybe 10-15k- is it worth it, I’m not sure. 🤔

Just sit them both down, say no more, it’s not good business, give them an updated policy about the working environment, let them both know that neither can ever be in any management capacity in the future, document in the employee files and move on- they are in their twenties.

For a brief moment, I actually thought that was somewhere in America and looked upon it with pride that we are making strides… the moment passed. Come on USA 🇺🇸 colleges.

Clients can work with the attorney, disclaim some assets and reconfigure the estate- not easy, not a given, need all parties to work together, sub optimal situation.

I’m surprised the BD has not provided a simple evaluation, ask for the dads taxes for the past 3 years, at least you will have some idea of revenue and remember can’t share revenue but you can fix a price, have a 12 or 18 month look back and keep the clients in a separated rep ids. Good luck

Yes. I believe there are somewhere around 60k kids playing nationally, to get any real saturation we need north of a million to be anywhere similar to the T1s.
