'A great desk reference for family business advisors. Easy to read and easy to follow. Advisors will learn about the dynamics of a family business and how they differ from other closely held businesses and the impact that has on operations, compensation, retirement and succession planning. The authors present their unique perspective on these matters and offer creative techniques and solutions to various issues and problems arising with regard to taxes, liquidity and transferring ownership. If you advise a family business, you need this book.'
--Bruce J Belman, JD-CPA United States'I highly recommend Tax and Financial Planning for the Closely Held Family Business. It is rare to find a book that uniquely and insightfully focuses on both important family business dynamics, as well as the many crucial financial, income tax, estate planning and other legal issues that should and must be addressed by family business leaders and advisors. It is especially rare to find such a book that is readable, practical and thorough, not to mention having many creative solutions.'

'For those of us who regularly represent family owned businesses, it is difficult to find a reliable single resource that takes into consideration at a sophisticated level the cornucopia of issues that have to be considered for such work. This type of work requires the ability to nimbly apply not only legal, business and tax law principles, but also requires the advisor to be able to understand nuances of how families work in the context of the family business. Zwick and Jurinski have found a way to pull all of those issues and nuances together in a book that clearly lays out the issues and problems that advisors face in representing family businesses, gives a wide range of suggestions on how to address the various issues that family businesses face from time to time, with an emphasis on how to help make decisions on as tax efficient as basis as possible. The book looks at these issues from various points of view, just like our clients do, and recognizes that this type of work is not a cookie cutter operation. This book will be a valuable tool for advisors to help their family business clients think through complicated issues and be able to consider the use and implementation of various tax planning ideas and structures, including ideas and structures suggested by provisions of the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that may be of benefit to the family business and the family.'
