In this insightful episode, host Dave Dubeau welcomes fellow podcaster and experienced cross-border tax accountant Brian Ludwig, host of the Prairie Founders Podcast. Brian brings over two decades of experience working with farmers, business owners, and U.S.-Canada cross-border clients.
Brian reveals how he’s moving beyond the old-school "compliance only" approach to offer small businesses strategic financial guidance. As a fractional CFO, he empowers entrepreneurs to use their numbers not just to report the past—but to plan and profit for the future.
They discuss:
-
Why most business owners misunderstand gross profit vs. net profit
-
What big businesses do right with financial planning that small businesses often miss
-
The importance of knowing your cost of goods when investing in marketing
-
How Brian saved a client $40,000 on a business acquisition by understanding tax implications
