Many entrepreneurs spend years building successful businesses but don't always connect their business growth with their personal wealth strategy. In this episode of Cultivating Business Growth , Katina Peters speaks with Katherine Dean, CFP® of Opal Wealth Advisors about why financial planning for business owners requires a different approach than traditional wealth management. Together they explore how holistic financial planning helps entrepreneurs align their personal finances, business growth, and long-term goals. The conversation covers the realities of fluctuating income, planning for a future business exit, building wealth outside the business, and why having advisors who understand entrepreneurship is essential. They also discuss common red flags business owners should watch for when working with financial advisors and why a collaborative advisory team, including CPAs, financial planners, and legal advisors, can create stronger outcomes.
