Course Description

Let’s talk about year-end tax planning. Though there are still a few months of 2021, it’s that time of year when many firms start thinking about year-end preparations. Businesses were dealt a tough hand in 2020, and many are still recovering from it. The proper tax strategies will play a critical role in their longevity, meaning your knowledge is more valuable than ever. As the expert in the room, you need to be up to date on legislative changes affecting clients as well as know how to advise them on what is best for their business. 

Join Thomson Reuters’ Will Hill and Shaun Hunley, along with Business by Design’s Paul Miller, for a webcast designed to provide accountants with the information they need going into year-end planning.  Learn how advisory services can serve your firm and your clients better as the year begins to wrap.

Learning Objectives:


  • Summarize up-to-date legislative changes that affect your clients

  • Determine how advisory services can better serve your firm and clients

  • Give examples for the best advising strategies

For almost 20 years, Paul Miller has been building his firm with a focus on meeting client needs beyond compliance work, and with a business consultancy mindset.

When he became self-employed in 1993, Paul found resources for tax planning, business structure/entity optimization, and overall business coaching difficult to find. After founding Business by Design in Edina, MN, his goal was to help other entrepreneurs and small businesses be more tax-efficient and make smarter business decisions, in addition to providing traditional accounting firm services.

Today, Paul has developed a firm that provides high-margin business coaching, tax planning, and asset protection services for small businesses, employing many of the same tax planning strategies that larger firms offer. This creates a trusted advisor relationship with his clients, builds multiple income streams for his firm, and establishes the firm’s unique value proposition. Whether it’s tax savings, business transition guidance, or equity-building strategies, clients see the value Business by Design delivers — thereby virtually eliminating the client-fee pressure situations many accounting firms find themselves in today.

The firm employs a unique “team” approach that pairs Paul’s own entrepreneurial expertise with a highly trained and diverse staff that includes accountants, CPAs, enrolled agents, paralegal, and administrative staff to provide high-level, results-oriented services to their clients. Paul’s focus on the progressive use of technology to drive firm efficiency and better serve clients, coupled with his consultative approach to helping business clients, has positioned Business by Design as a firm of the future.
