Building a successful business and building personal wealth are not always the same thing. I’m Jovan Johnson, MBA, CFP®, CPA, PFS, and Co-Owner of Piece of Wealth Planning. I help business owners, private practice owners, medical professionals, and other service-based entrepreneurs make smarter financial decisions across both their business and personal lives. At Piece of Wealth Planning, we help clients coordinate tax planning, accounting, cash flow, retirement planning, investment management, and comprehensive financial planning. My philosophy is simple: your business should do more than generate revenue. It should help you build wealth, create financial security, and support the life you want to live. That means looking beyond questions like, “How can I lower my taxes?” and also asking: “Am I actually becoming wealthier as my business grows?” “Am I converting enough of my income into assets?” “Are my business and personal financial decisions working together?” I’ve spent more than a decade working across accounting, tax, and financial planning, with a focus on making complex financial decisions easier to understand and act on. Because the goal isn’t simply to make more money or pay less in taxes. It’s to use your money intentionally to build the life and wealth you want.
