Stop counting rocks, run simulations

Most entrepreneurs approach taxes by looking in the rearview mirror. You wait until tax day, tally up the damage, and pay the government whatever is due. But according to R. Kenner French, this "backward-looking" approach is the fastest way to overpay. If you are managing significant cash flow or navigating a $300,000+ tax liability, simply relying on last year's data isn't enough to protect your wealth.In this episode, Elaine Mingus talks with R. Kenner French, founder of VASQ.com, about the shift from traditional accounting to prescriptive intelligence.
