Taryell: And one more thing before we get started, how do I properly pronounce your name?
Susanne Mariga: Susanne Mariga.
Taryell: Susanne Mariga. All right. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of Rise Urban Nation. It is your host Taryell Simmons in the building. I have a very special guest, and I am going to ask this special guest questions around profitability in our businesses. Because they are a professional when it comes to everything CFO and finances, I know they can help us out with this. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, we have Susanne Mariga in the building. Did I put the right emphasis on Mariga?
Susanne Mariga: It sounds better than I would have said it, actually.
Taryell: For those who are not familiar with you, can you briefly introduce yourself and this wonderful organization that you are part of, The Mariga Group, and tell us about your mission so the audience can really get acquainted?
Susanne Mariga: Absolutely. I am a CPA by background, a certified public accountant, and I provide fractional CFO services to seven- and eight-figure entrepreneurs. We specialize in high-net-worth tax strategies, particularly using the Profit First method. Taryell, we will talk about what that means later on. Most people go to their accountant and get told to go out and buy a big truck at the end of the year to drive down their taxes. We look at how we build your net worth while still reducing your taxes. Maybe it is funding a 401(k), but not quite a regular 401(k). Maybe we need to add some pension plans in there where we can write off a couple hundred thousand a year. That is what we do from that standpoint. I am also an author.
Taryell: You are an author too? Is there anything that you do not do?
Susanne Mariga: I think the best lessons of life are learned by trying different things, so I am not one to turn down an opportunity to explore.
Taryell: I am going to pause real quick because I realized that my mic is picking up from the wrong input. Give me a second, we will still use that.
