The "Dad Never Taught You" series
Tax Tips & Hacks, Spending Tips & Hacks, and Savings Tips & Hacks—is designed to change that. These books provide clear, practical guidance on everything from filing tax returns and maximizing deductions to managing spending, paying down debt, and building long-term savings. Whether you’re looking to take control of your financial future or help your family make smarter money decisions, these concise and actionable books have you covered.
Written by Kelly Coughlin, CPA and CEO of EverydayCPA Inc., these books draw on decades of experience helping small businesses and households master their finances. With the right tax, spending, and saving strategies, you can take control of your money—and build a happier, healthier, and wealthier life.
Most of us were never taught how to navigate taxes, spending, and savings wisely—and that lack of financial education comes at a high cost. With taxes consuming nearly 60% of your lifetime earnings, relentless advertising pressuring you to spend, and little encouragement to save, financial security can feel out of reach. For many, saving for the future seems like a privilege reserved for others.
