Planning for taxes shouldn’t feel like rolling the dice. In this episode of Business by the Numbers, Hunt walks through how smart shop owners use real data, not hope, to forecast and manage their tax obligations all year long.

  • Why Q2 and Q3 are the real moneymakers for accurate tax forecasting
  • When it actually makes sense to buy that truck for the write-off
  • How and when to adjust your tax estimates (and why it matters)
  • The truth about retirement contributions as a tax strategy
  • Common mistakes shop owners make by skipping tax planning
