Running your own business (including 1099 work) introduces different elements that aren’t always easy to factor into your personal financial plan.

With your guidance, clients will be able to better navigate these different elements and find more ways to tie them in with their personal financial goals.

This checklist covers some key issues a business owner should consider when making financial planning decisions, such as:

The effect running a business may have on one’s personal financial goals.
The general tax implications of running a business.
How certain tax planning factors may be coordinated (e.g., retirement plan contributions, certain deductions, hiring a spouse, specific business entities, etc.) to better suit one’s financial situation.
Other areas (e.g., risk tolerance, insurance needs, financing issues, etc.) that may be affected by operating a business.

“With all the aspects of running a business, working with varying client scenarios, and knowing how much information is available, I like being able to look at a flowchart and just see what I need to see.”

— Mike, a financial advisor

“The resources available are beneficial internally and for clients. The checklists help advisors think outside the box of their knowledge and experience covering a multitude of planning areas. The flowcharts are well laid out visuals for the clients with possible scenarios identified and clear paths to take. fpPathfinders does a nice job updating the resources regularly and communicating to their customer base as well.”
