Multiple Tax Advisor Strategy
Share
A strategy used by ultra-successful people to optimize their tax situation by leveraging multiple tax professionals and dedicating significant time to tax planning.
Core Tax Strategy Philosophy
- Most successful people employ multiple top tax strategists instead of relying on one
- Tax optimization should take 5-10% of your time annually
- The compound effect of tax savings over decades is massive
- Having multiple opinions leads to better tax strategies than single-source advice
Implementation Approach
- Find tax professionals who work with billionaires
- Get introductions to top tax strategists through successful people
- Combine advice from multiple tax professionals
- Dedicate 5-10 days per year minimum to tax strategy
- Don't stay loyal to one tax person - constantly seek new perspectives
Why It Works
- Tax is typically your biggest expense
- The ROI on time spent on tax strategy is extremely high
- Most people spend less than 1% of their time on tax planning
- A 5-10% time investment can save 50% on taxes
- The compounding effect of tax savings over decades is significant
- Tax professionals stop giving fresh strategy after year 1 if you don't actively engage
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the same tax accountant for many years without exploring alternatives
- Being emotionally attached to one tax advisor
- Not dedicating enough time to tax strategy
- Treating tax as an administrative task rather than a strategic opportunity
- Failing to get multiple professional opinions
Key Mindset Shifts
- View tax strategy as a high-leverage investment of time
- Treat tax optimization as an ongoing process, not a one-time setup
- Be willing to "date around" with different tax professionals
- Focus on compound effects over immediate savings
- Consider tax strategy a core part of wealth building
