INTRODUCING JAKE ACKERMAN

In this episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, host James Chester sits down with Jake Ackerman, a seasoned wealth advisor, founder of Ackerman Financial Group, and a former professional trader. Jake brings a bold message that hits home for chiropractors: you're likely leaving tens or even hundreds of thousands on the table every year due to poor tax planning.

This conversation is packed with practical strategies and stories from the front lines of financial literacy, tax mitigation, and wealth optimization specifically for chiropractors and small business owners.

HIGHLIGHTS

● Jake's mission: help clients pay as close to ZERO in taxes legally and ethically.

● The missing link: CPAs often do compliance, but not strategy. Jake's team does both.

● A powerful client case: taking a practice from 60-hour weeks and razor-thin margins to $250k in bottom-line profit.

● Why long-term tax planning beats one-off strategies every time.

● "Most chiropractors think they’re covered, but they’re not." Jake breaks down the illusion of security.

● Strategic partnerships with CPAs and tax attorneys make Ackerman Financial Group a financial special ops team for DCs.
