Tax Planning Services for Businesses Using The Great Game of Business Growth System

Proactive Tax Strategy That Works With Your Great Game™ System

Running your business using The Great Game of Business means every decision is tied to Critical Numbers™, Scoreboards, and MiniGames. But if your tax strategy isn’t aligned with these metrics, you could be leaving cash—and team incentives—on the table.


Straight Talk CPAs helps business leaders turn Game-aligned financials into a proactive tax plan that supports growth, engagement, and profitability. We don’t just prepare filings—we align tax strategy with Critical Numbers™, MiniGames, and incentive distributions. 


The result? Taxes become a tool for cash clarity, optimized incentives, and long-term sustainable growth.

From structuring owner compensation to planning distributions, leveraging timing strategies, and optimizing allocations, our tax planning ensures every financial move supports your Game metrics, team engagement, and growth priorities. This isn’t about chasing deductions—it’s about turning taxes into an active lever for measurable results.
