Paul Gorman on Business Planning & Using Your CPA Wisely | Costa Mesa Pod
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Costa Mesa Pod, I sit down with Paul Gorman of ClearView Strategies, a CPA and financial coach with nearly four decades of experience in accounting and government finance. Paul shares what new business owners are often not prepared for, including self-employment taxes, estimated payments, and why so many people feel blindsided in their first year.
We also talk about why your CPA should be more than someone who looks backward at last year’s numbers. Paul explains how proactive planning, early conversations, and financial education can make a major difference in reducing stress and building a sustainable business.
This conversation is especially helpful for:
• New business owners
• Entrepreneurs and consultants
• Anyone considering going out on their own
• Small business owners who want better financial clarity
