Tax Forecasting Like a CFO

Year-end tax surprises are a planning failure, not an accounting inevitability. Professor Jack Ledger introduces a CFO-style tax forecasting system built around quarterly estimated payment safe harbors, scenario modeling across base, upside, and downside assumptions, and the four decision windows each year where strategy can still be executed. From depreciation timing to retirement contributions, this episode shows how forward-looking tax intelligence converts reactive compliance into proactive wealth management.
