    John Barnes: Why Tax Advice Is Not Financial Advice for Business Owners
    2026/07/07

    Full Episode Page: John Barnes: Why Tax Advice Is Not Financial Advice for Business Owners

    John Barnes is a Certified Financial Planner and the co-founder and CEO of Pendleton Street Business Advisors, an outsourced CFO firm built for entrepreneurs.

    In this episode, John and host Nick Berry dig into financial planning for business owners: how growth can quietly build you an expensive prison, what to actually do with your business profit, and why the CPA who keeps your taxes low is not the same person who's protecting your future. John explains how personal and business plans lock together like a zipper, why emergency and exit planning come down to two sheets of paper, and the sharp difference between a "correct" answer and the "right" one. This one gets practical, and a little uncomfortable in the best way.

    You'll hear:
    -How financial success can quietly turn a good business into an expensive prison
    -What to do with profit: whether to pay yourself, pay debt, or reinvest
    -How to link business and personal financial plans so both win
    -Whether you've done the emergency and exit planning that protects your family
    -Why tax advice is not financial advice, and how that trap costs owners later
    -Why we're drowning in "correct" answers but starving for the "right" ones
