When should founders start thinking about tax strategy — before revenue, before fundraising, or only once the business becomes profitable?
In this episode of the Grownlearn Capital Podcast, Zorina Dimitrova speaks with Boris Musheyev, CPA, Certified Tax Strategist and founder of BORISMTAX, about how proactive tax planning can support business growth, investor readiness and long-term value creation.
Boris explains how entity structure — including LLCs, S Corporations and C Corporations — can influence taxation, fundraising, investor expectations and eventual exit planning. The conversation also covers Section 1202 and QSBS, and why founders preparing to raise capital should consider tax structure much earlier than many do.
For established and profitable companies, Boris discusses when traditional tax preparation is no longer enough and how businesses can move toward a more strategic approach to tax planning, cash flow, wealth preservation and estate planning.
Zorina and Boris also explore the growing role of AI in accounting and tax advisory, including how automation is changing routine tax work while increasing the importance of higher-value strategic advice.
