Navigate Buy-Sell Strategies Post-Supreme Court Ruling on Life Insurance

Sept 26 at 11am

Does life insurance fund your company’s buy-sell agreement? If so, a recent June 2024, 9-0 United States Supreme Court decision may impact your succession, estate planning, and tax strategies.

The Court ruled life insurance proceeds funding a company’s obligation to purchase a deceased shareholder’s shares must be included in the company’s fair market value when calculating the estate tax. The ruling increases the company’s value by the amount of the life insurance payout, and potentially raises the decedent’s estate tax liability.

What Are the Odds??? Year-end Tax Planning for Construction Companies

Oct 24 at 11am

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act brought a major overhaul to U.S. tax code for business owners such as lower corporate tax rates, qualified business income deductions, and increased expensing and bonus depreciation.

Paying It Forward: Addressing Salary Compression in a Competitive Market

November 14 at 11am

Labor shortages are forcing construction companies to offer higher salaries to attract and retain talent. But have you considered that higher salaries could be causing low morale, higher turnover rates, and productivity disruptions in your workforce?

When new hires join at similar compensation than more tenured peers, or raises bring worker salaries closer to their managers’, employees begin to question their worth and their price tags. This can lead to feelings of missing out, a drop in motivation and productivity, and resignations.

Research shows that 48% of business leaders spend less than one day per month discussing strategy.* Given this fact, it’s no wonder most organizations fail to meet at least half of their strategic objectives.

Our approach to strategic planning couples the vision and strategy that will drive your business forward; while our follow up accountability coaching ensures the success of the plan.
