Building Wealth for You & Your Employees with Brian Hartstein

Your Wealth & Beyond: Secrets of Successful Entrepreneurs

Today's guest is none other than Bayntree's Director of Corporate Development, Brian Hartstein. If you're a business owner looking for advice and strategies on tax planning or creating pensions, Roth IRAs and 401(k) plans, you've come to the right place.

In our conversation, Brian and I are exploring different ways business owners can start preparing–especially with our pretax dollars–to create the best possible financial outcomes not just for themselves but also for their employees.

We'll cover some of the big mistakes business owners make when it comes to pretax spending, how Brian analyzes a prospective client's business to recommend solutions, and why it's so important for entrepreneurs to have a solid financial education of their own.
