Beyond the Bottom Line
Beyond the Bottom Line is a podcast for founders and business owners who want practical insight they can actually use as they grow.
Hosted by Miguel Alexander Centeno, founder and CEO of Centurion Firm, the show features in-depth conversations with industry experts, clients, and business owners about how they think through tax, cash flow, operations, and the decisions that come with running a real business.
We focus on how things really work when you’re scaling, what challenges tend to come up, and how other founders, experts, and operators have dealt with them.
If you’re building or growing a business (often somewhere between $500K and $25M+ in revenue), this show is designed to help you make smarter financial and operational decisions and keep more of what you earn.

Minisode: Common or Embarassing Questions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We get asked a lot of questions at Centurion Firm questions like, "If I can't pay my taxes, do I even need to file?" or "Isn't transferring money to myself the same as payroll?"
Most clients feel a little embarrassed to ask these questions out loud, so in this minisode, Miguel's partner, Daniela Menache, decided to answer them anyway.
There are no stupid questions, just real ones people are quietly Googling (or asking AI) instead of asking us directly.
We go through the ones we hear most: filing when you can't pay, whether the IRS actually knows your income, the real difference between an LLC and an S corp, why duplicate transactions show up in QuickBooks, and whether your business credit card really covers everything you buy with it. If you've ever nodded along in a meeting with your accountant while quietly wondering what a balance sheet actually is, this one's for you.
