The Efficient Advisor: Tactical Business Advice for Financial Planners
Libby Greiwe
Ever wish you knew an Advisor who built a 7-figure practice--while only working 3 days a week--that was willing to share her systems, processes, and business hacks with you? Meet the Efficient Advisor Podcast host Libby Greiwe. Her specialty? Breaking down the functions of a financial planning practice into actionable step-by-step processes designed to get you results and get you out of overwhelm. Expert interviews, done-for-you templates, and easy to implement solutions… all tied together by her MISSION to create ease in your business. She promises to deliver actionable step-by-step solutions you can implement right away to save time, money, and frustration. The goal--to lead you from overwhelm to efficiency. She started her own financial planning business in 2004. And, over the years she scaled into a 7-figure single-advisor firm while working only 25-hours a week so she could be super involved while raising her kiddos and loving on her hubby. She knows what it takes to build a 100% referral-only practice and to not have to GRIND out the hours to be successful. She ran her own planning business for 16 years culminating in a sale to an enterprise firm in 2019. Now, she’s simply just obsessed with helping other amazing advisors do the same thing. So if you’re an advisor who’s got the hang of planning and is now looking to grow to that first 500k of take-home pay… you are in the right place!

235: Common Mistakes Advisors Make on Their OWN Taxes with Catherine Tindall
But what about YOUR taxes? Yes, you. The advisor! Running a financial advisory business can be complicated and you get paid weirdly. #FACTSWe are stepping away from the S2S Framework this week, because the end of the year is coming, and we’ve got a small window of time to maximize your own tax savings before the end of the year. If you’re anything like me, the end of the year was all about the clients. Scrambling to get their Roth conversions done, tax harvesting, QCDs, and all the things. My own taxes were in the back of my mind, but everyone else came first. I did an episode a few months ago with a tax strategist that works with your clients… but what about a tax advisor for advisors!? Well, today I am going to introduce you to my friend Catherine. Her CPA firm specializes in doing tax strategy and advice for financial advisors. In this episode, we’re digging into: Common Tax Mistakes Financial Advisors Make—and How to Avoid ThemYear-End Tax Strategies: How Advisors Can Maximize Savings Before December 31stWhat is a Healthy Profit Margin for an Advisory Business?The Power of Proactive Tax Planning for your Firm - What A CPA Relationship Should Look LikeThis episode is just for you, Advisors.
