The Tax Book Every Business Owner Wishes They’d Read Last March.
__Tax Tips & Hacks — Your Dad Never Taught You.__ Written by Kelly Coughlin, CPA, for business owners tired of surprise tax bills, missed deductions, and accountants who only show up in April.
What’s actually inside
Plain English. No jargon. No 200-page slog. Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
Why owners overpay
Learn why most business owners overpay — and the deductions that usually close the gap fastest.
Owner pay strategy
Understand salary, draws, and the S-Corp move that can be worth real money when the facts support it.
Real tax planning
See what a real tax plan looks like — and why many tax planning meetings do not go far enough.
Books that tell the truth
Learn the signs your bookkeeping is lying to you and what to do about it.
Built for business owners who…
You use QuickBooks, but do not trust the numbers
You are entering transactions, reconciling accounts, or hoping the categories are close enough.
You got a surprise tax bill
Last year, this year, or any year — the point is that the bill should not be a mystery.
You want to stop overpaying
You want better tax outcomes without having to become your own accountant.
You are tired of April-only accountants
You want guidance before the year is over, not just a return after the damage is done.
You make real money but the next move is unclear
If your business is doing roughly $150K to $2M and the next decision feels foggy, this book is for you.

About the author
Kelly Coughlin is a CPA who has spent his career on the side of business owners — not the IRS, not Big Four audit firms, and not the software companies. He founded EverydayCPA on the idea that owners deserve the same financial expertise a Fortune 500 CFO gets, at a fraction of the cost.
He has written books on tax and finance and personally guided hundreds of businesses through QuickBooks cleanups, tax fights, and the slow climb from chaos to clarity.
