216 - Empowering Business Owners - Tax Strategies with Mike Jesowshek

Mike Jesowshek, founder of TaxElm, delivers a masterclass on leadership by eliminating one of the biggest pain points for entrepreneurs: tax confusion. His leadership style centers on simplifying complexity and empowering clients and employees through clear strategy and execution. On the Leaders and Legacies podcast, Mike breaks down how he uses transparency, consistency, and responsiveness to lead both a growing team and a national client base.

Mike shares how most accountants are overworked or hesitant to charge for high-value advice, leaving business owners in the dark. His leadership challenge was to change that. By launching TaxElm and building a proactive software tool backed by expert support, he created a system that doesn’t just educate—it equips.

He explains how he built trust through consistent communication, set clear expectations with his team, and scaled impact with tech and systems. His leadership isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things and making those repeatable.
