Understanding the OBBBA Act

Major tax changes are here, and knowing how to navigate them can make a real difference for both your personal finances and your business.

Join Tim Moy, Managing Partner at MBE CPAs, and Diane Payne, Partner at MBE CPAs, for an in-depth yet easy-to-understand breakdown of the OBBBA Act. This seminar will highlight the most important updates, what they mean for you, and how to take advantage of new opportunities created by the legislation.

What you’ll learn:

• Practical strategies to maximize tax benefits under the new law

• How these changes affect real-world decision-making moving forward

Whether you’re an investor, business owner, or working professional, this session will help you cut through the noise and gain a clear, actionable understanding of the OBBBA Act—so you can plan with confidence and keep more of what you earn.

Tim Moy, CPA is the Managing Partner of MBE CPAs. In this role, he not only directs the firm but also plays a fundamental part in advising business clients on how to achieve long-term success. Through thoughtful accounting and tax strategies, combined with real-world life experience, Tim helps clients navigate complex decisions. Helping people succeed is at the core of his passion and drives the impact he strives to make with every client relationship.

His personal mission is “to be his clients’ most trusted advisor.” Clients rely on Tim and the MBE professional family for guidance, planning, and execution as they work toward achieving their goals.

At heart, Tim is a serial entrepreneur. Through that experience, he quickly realized that accounting is the language of business. Accounting serves as a form of communication, reflecting both successes and failures and providing a clear way for businesses to keep score. A critical part of that score is taxes. Many entrepreneurs overlook how closely taxes are tied to measuring business success, yet managing them effectively should be a core component of every entrepreneur’s overall strategy.
