TYLER MCBROOM – Speaker

Tyler is the CEO and Managing Partner of Measured Results, a CPA firm that is part of the Tony Robbins Global Accounting Alliance. He helps business owners keep more of what they make, by lowering their largest expense--taxes--dramatically. Tyler, Tony’s accounting partner, and his team will provide a complimentary tax assessment to uncover hidden savings and maximize your cash flow. His average estimated savings when preparing a tax plan is $25,000!

Back story: Tony was on a mission to find the right partner for his businesses for many years. He was “near death” several times, thinking his businesses had a full tank of gas (meaning plenty of cash) but he was really on E. He had accountants telling him numbers vs having a CFO that can explain what the numbers meant. Getting access to a CFO allows businesses to see how making small and simple shifts can dramatically create a positive impact on the business. The problem is most businesses generate less than a million dollars gross, so it’s not attainable to hire a full-time CFO with an estimated salary ranging from $300-$500K a year, so this virtual CFO system that Tyler and team have created, allows a more affordable option for smaller businesses.
