About this episode

Chad Brown interviews tax strategist Dwight Dye about advanced tax planning for business owners and high-income earners.

In this episode of The Real CFO Project , Chad Brown sits down with tax strategist and entrepreneur Dwight Dye to unpack what high-level tax planning really looks like for business owners and high-income earners. Dwight's story starts in a family tax office — learning the craft from his father, growing a multi-office operation in Nashville, then stepping out of the daily grind to focus on strategy instead of transactions. After selling multiple locations, he shifted his focus toward advanced tax planning, building DWD Tax Strategy to serve entrepreneurs who had outgrown basic deductions. This conversation goes beyond the "standard plays" — Augusta Rule, accountable plans, retirement contributions — and dives into leveraged strategies designed for those with meaningful taxable income.
