The Costco Write-Off Trap and How Bad Tax Advice Kills Your Business's Sale Price - Nik Agharkar

September 1, 2026·42 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Tax attorney and wealth advisor Nik Agharkar of Crown Point Tax joins Matt to unpack the difference between tax evasion, tax deferral, and legitimate tax strategy — and why so many business owners unknowingly torch their company's sale value with aggressive write-offs. They dig into the "Costco conversation," why most CPAs aren't equipped to strategize (only to prepare). A must-listen for anyone planning to sell a business — or just tired of overpaying Uncle Sam.     Connect with Nik Agharkar:   https://www.crownepointtax.com   Social media     https://www.instagram.com/nikagharkar/   https://www.instagram.com/crownepoint_tax/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikagharkar/     Connect with Matt Uhler / Amped Success:   Instagram: @ampedsuccess Website: ampedsuccess.com Email: admin@ampedsuccess.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-uhler-a9896612/     Want to be a guest or sponsor an episode?
