🧮 The Tax Playbook I Wish I Had 10 Years Ago

The tax playbook I wish I had 10 years ago

I'm writing a book.

After advising hundreds of business owners and helping them save millions in taxes, I'm finally putting my top tax saving strategies in one place.

Win The Tax Game: A Playbook for Small Businesses to Avoid Hassle, Save Money, and Build Wealth

Here's what I know: Owning a small business is the best tax deal in America.

Here's the problem: Most business owners are leaving THOUSANDS on the table because no one taught them the rules.

I see the same pattern every week:

  • Business owners scrambling at year-end with shoebox receipts
  • Missing obvious deductions because their books are a mess
  • Paying 40%+ effective tax rates when they could be paying 20%
  • Getting terrible advice from TikTok "tax experts"

The difference between my clients who keep 70% of what they earn and everyone else paying 50%+ in taxes?

They understand the game.

Want Early Access?

The book drops next year, but I'm sharing the best strategies with my Insiders List now.

Join to get:

  • Chapter previews with actionable tax strategies
  • Real client case studies (like the trainer who went from $60K to $30K in annual taxes)
  • My personal tax planning frameworks

Look, I've worked with business owners at every level. The ones who win long-term don't use aggressive schemes or sketchy deductions.

They just know how the system actually works.

This book is me teaching you exactly what I teach them. No fluff. No theory. Just what works.

Until next time,

Mitchell Baldridge, CPA, CFP®

P.S. That business owner friend who complains about taxes every April? Forward this. They'll thank you when they're keeping an extra $30K next year.

@baldridgecpa WORK WITH ME QBI IS NOW PERMANENT (HERE'S WHAT HIGH EARNERS ARE STILL MISSING) Every year around this time I write about the QBI deduction. Every year someone replies: ""Holy smokes, this saved me $50,000!!" And this year is even better because QBI is here to stay. Originally, it was scheduled to expire December 31, 2025, but The One Big Beautiful Bill made it permanent. No more sunset date, no expiration. You can finally build long-term tax strategy around this deduction...

@baldridgecpa WORK WITH ME HOW TO SAVE THOUSANDS BEFORE DECEMBER 31ST If you're planning to file on October 15th, you have six days left. Next Wednesday. Final deadline. You're in the home stretch. But here's the catch: You just spent the last 10 months completing your taxes for a year that ended 10 months ago. And 2025? It ends in 83 days. The Real Question How did tax season feel for you this year? Maybe you filed in April and it was smooth. You had everything organized, your bookkeeping...

@baldridgecpa WORK WITH ME THE STACK PHILOSOPHY THAT SCALES When you're an employee, someone else handles payroll. Someone else deals with accounting. Someone else figures out the tech stack. Then you start your own business. Suddenly YOU are responsible for everything. And every software company on the planet wants to sell you their "essential" tool. I've watched hundreds of entrepreneurs fall into the same trap — they buy every piece of software that promises to save time or look...
