• Rebates for turf replacement, smart irrigation controllers, high-efficiency irrigation upgrades and more
• Free Home Drought Ready Check-Ups
• Irrigation tune-ups
• Leak detection device incentives
• Online WaterSMART Workshop, gardening classes and other resources In addition, watering restrictions take effect that prohibit the following actions:
• Allowing runoff onto non-irrigated areas when irrigating with potable (drinking) water
• Using hoses with no shutoff nozzles to wash cars
• Using potable water to wash sidewalks, driveways and hardscapes
• Using potable water in decorative water features that do not recirculate the water

At the end of each year, most business owners file their taxes with one simple goal: to save as much as possible on the next return. But at Vance Wealth, we take a different approach to tax planning.

Of course, we use creative tax strategies to help our clients maximize their savings each year, but we also look at the bigger picture. We plan for the present with the future in mind.

It’s a balance – and it’s where we excel.

“Business owners of all sizes have the prudent goal of minimizing their tax burden, but the idea is not to avoid taxes, simply for the sake of avoiding taxes,” explained John Vance, President and Visionary of Vance Wealth. “Our goal is to maximize your savings over the course of your lifetime by making strategic and intentional choices today.”

That’s how we help our clients forge an achievable path to something greater, and we want to help you do the same. Here are three tax strategies to help your business save on taxes in the long run.

1. Tax Planning

Refreshing your tax plan encourages you to rethink your approach to tax savings, by creating a long-term plan to lower the cost in the future. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of asking the right question: How do I create more tax savings over the life of my business, not just this year?

1. Charitable Giving Deductions

The tax code for charitable giving deductions changed significantly in recent years, and if you haven’t adjusted your strategy, you’re missing out on valuable savings. Similar to the change in mindset required for big-picture tax planning, charitable giving deductions require a little forward thinking. By planning for a lifetime of giving, you save more and give more. That’s what we call a win-win.

1. Payroll Structure

Many business owners don’t realize it, but how you decide to pay yourself and your family impacts your payroll tax and personal income taxes. The amount you pay yourself, as well as the pay structure you use, can make a big difference in your tax plan. For example, if your kids have part-time jobs at your company, simply adding them to payroll can help you save.

We’ve helped dozens of clients review their business and tax plans to save thousands up front – and achieve even more in the long run. If you haven’t reviewed your plan in the last year, we would love to help you see the difference thoughtful planning can make, now and for years to come.

Santa Clarita 401k Advisor offers new benefit to help employers attract talent

Financial education can provide competitive edge in hiring shortage

Santa Clarita, Calif. — Santa Clarita wealth management firm and 401k Advisor Vance Wealth recently announced a new benefit that may help local businesses attract and retain top talent. The added perk could give employers an edge if they’re experiencing a hiring shortage.

Vance Wealth now offers a 30-minute financial planning session to all participants enrolled in an Advanced 401k Solutions custom retirement plan. In this targeted one-on-one session, each employee receives specific, actionable financial guidance that will make an immediate difference in their lives.

“A great way to stand out and remain competitive is to offer a superior benefits package, especially if increasing wages isn’t an option right now,” explained Jason Lane, director of retirement accounts for Vane Wealth. “This planning session will help employees make the most of their benefits, and it can help them set up a strong foundation for their financial future.”

The perks of financial education and planning should not be underestimated. An attractive benefits package – complete with financial education and support – is an excellent way to win over your industry’s top talent, especially while many businesses are struggling to hire workers. 

And it’s not just a benefit for employees. Programs that support employee financial wellness are a win-win for the employer and the employee.

Improving employees’ financial stability can improve the ROI on labor costs by lessening financial stress so they can focus on their work, according to a report by the workplace technology firm Ceridian. The result is an increase in their productivity and reduced absenteeism.

“Our passion is providing financial education that benefits both the employer and the employee – to help create a stronger, more effective team that achieves more together,” Lane said.

Logix Federal Credit Union announced Thursday that, for the fourth consecutive year, it has been awarded on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2021. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on June 24 and can be viewed at America’s Best Credit Unions In Each State 2021.

Forbes and Statista identified America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2021 based on an independent survey of approximately 25,000 U.S. consumers who were asked to rate credit unions at which they have or previously have had checking accounts. Participants made recommendations regarding overall satisfaction. They also assessed banks in the following areas: trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, customer service, and financial advice.

Based on the results of the study, Logix staff is ecstatic to be recognized on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Credit Unions 2021. Logix members continue to vote the credit union best, as Logix is one of two credit unions in the entire state honored with this award for four consecutive years.

“We’re fortunate to have the best members,” said Kevin Rishko, SVP of Retail Banking and Loan Centers. “Year over year, they vote Logix as their preferred financial institution with surveys and by referring
friends and family. We are grateful to have their support.”

Forbes ranked Logix near the top in scores for most trusted credit unions, and for being a financial institution members would recommend to their friends. Logix CEO Ana Fonseca shared her gratitude for member support.

“Attaining this recognition during normal times is commendable, but the fact that we’ve achieved it during the most challenging time in our history demonstrates our commitment to helping our members thrive even during the most difficult times.”

At Vance Wealth, we believe financial planning should empower you to achieve what matters most. Our thoughtful process is designed to help you stay the course when things are working, and embrace change when it’s needed to forge a path to something greater.

For business owners, this includes a financial plan for your company that’s as comprehensive as your personal plan – and it all starts with four best practices that set up every business for success.

“One of the first things we do for our business owners is look at the foundation of their business planning,” explained John Vance. “Often, our initial goal is to help create some confidence and clarity, and there are four key areas that help us establish this.”

1. Build cash reserves.

First, we focus on building cash reserves for at least six months. Over time, we build this up to two years of cash reserves. To establish this vital safety net, we pull from various sources:

• Bank reserves
• A business line of credit
• Personal investments that can be used as collateral, in an emergency

1. Manage your accounts receivable.

One of the areas businesses often look past is their accounts receivable, but having too much cash tied up in accounts receivable can really crush a company. Here are a few simple strategies to correct an imbalance:

• Collection periods should be shortened to less than 30 days.
• If needed, implement a retainer, especially in service- based businesses.
• Have an attorney properly draft all your contracts and agreements.

1. Establish an emergency plan.

As the business owner, you carry the weight of your company’s operations on your shoulders every day. But what would happen if something happened to you? Creating an emergency plan gives you the confidence that things will be taken care of, according to your wishes, no matter what. Here are a few steps to implement a solid emergency plan:

• Fund a buy/sell agreement: a legally binding document that permits your business to continue operating in the event of the death, disability or retirement of the business owner.
• Make sure everything is properly documented with your attorney.
• Gather all your legal documents in a protected yet accessible place, and have a plan for who will access them in the event of an emergency.

1. Develop an exit strategy.

Finally, it’s important to develop an exit plan for your business. This is where your personal financial plan really comes into focus. Ask yourself: How much is enough for me and my family? What are my goals, and how much do I need to get me there? Your exit plan should include:

• Your minimum dollar amount for the sale of your business
• How to continue the legacy of your business with employees and customers
• Other wishes and goals you hope to achieve

• Are ready to take the steps needed within your business? To book a complimentary consultation with one of our Wealth Advisers https://vancewealth.com/book-an-appointment/, We would love to help you achieve more.

On June 22^nd at 1:00pm executives are invited to participate in an interactive online workshop presented by experts in the fields of cyber-security and cyber insurance. The session will focus on securing the remote workforce and home office and promote an understanding of how cyber insurance fits into an overall cyber security strategy. Participants can register at www.lbwinsurance.com.

LBW Insurance and Financial Services and the Pepperdine Graziado School of Business are partnering to bring this executive education opportunity to the business community.

The program will offer a risk-based approach to cyber insurance and how to implement cyber insurance as part of an overall strategy. Participants will also learn steps to secure today's remote workforce, especially focusing on securing the home office.

This 90-minute online workshop is for Board and Executive leadership and is designed to educate and reinforce the tools needed to sustain organizations in an emerging post pandemic cybercrime environment.

Santa Clarita, Calif. — After a year of record growth, Santa Clarita-based financial planning firm Vance Wealth is excited to welcome back Chief Operating Officer Chris Pelch, who is returning to the team to help support a new phase of expansion.

“Over the last three years, we’ve grown our team from 6 to 13 employees while also growing our family of clients,” explained John Vance, President and Visionary of the firm. “From an operational perspective, it’s really important to have someone who can oversee your systems and processes and ensure our client experience is second to none. That’s why we brought Chris back to the team.”

Chris adds an expertise in teaching, operations management and financial planning to the firm, and as COO, he’ll help strengthen and support the team, while continuing to serve as advisor to a select group of clients. He’s most excited to work with people he respects and admires, and he’s eager to help Vance Wealth grow according to plan.

“I’m extremely excited about this role because I get to work with a lot of different people. I get to focus on the overall offerings and growth of the firm, while also figuring out how I can break down barriers for a team that’s already doing great work,” Chris explained. “My goal is to allow our team members to focus on the areas where they excel and provide support in the areas where we can grow.”

With two master’s degrees in education and business administration – and nearly a decade of experience in the financial planning industry – Chris is perfectly positioned to help teach business owners how to run a financially sound and operationally efficient company. While he began his career with Teach For America, he eventually turned his passion for education toward the financial world. He’s worked for a nationally recognized financial firm, a Beverly Hills-based Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and, previously, for Vance Wealth.

In 2013, Chris first joined the team to streamline operations, implement a new trading platform, oversee the investment committee and help launch Advanced 401k Solutions – all while managing his own book of clients. He quickly learned that his passion lied in the business owner’s journey, and in 2017, he decided to deepen his knowledge by pursuing his MBA.

“I realized I had a gap in my understanding of a business owner’s journey, specifically in terms of operations and how they affect a company’s financial success,” Chris explained. “To best serve my clients, I knew I needed to get a clearer understanding on what goes on internally. Only then could I be of true value when looking from the outside in.”

Vance Wealth is founded by John Vance and headquartered in Santa Clarita, with an additional office in Pasadena. To schedule a complimentary consultation with Chris Pelch, please call 661-775-0950, email info@vanceweath.com or visit VanceWealth.com.

Southern California Gas Company is excited to share with you an ambitious commitment we’re making -- to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our operations and delivery of energy by 2045.

SoCalGas’ commitment makes us the largest North American gas distribution utility to set a net-zero target that includes scopes 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions. We plan to reduce our company’s direct emissions and those generated by customers. This means not only will the trucks we drive, the buildings we own, and the pipelines we operate make this transition, but also the fuel we deliver to our customers will be net zero emissions by 2045.

America’s decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement reaffirms our national commitment to a global clean energy future. California lawmakers have set even more ambitious goals – carbon neutrality across all sectors of the economy by 2045. SoCalGas supports these goals. As we take this journey to a cleaner energy future, it is vital that energy remain reliable and affordable for all Californians. No energy company is more dedicated to achieving that than SoCalGas.

SoCalGas’ commitment to net zero 2045 is a natural extension of our decades-long industry leadership. Since the passage of California’s landmark California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), our decarbonization, diversification, and digitalization efforts have supported the reduction of over 7 million metric tons of CO2e below our 1990 levels – the equivalent of removing 1.5 million cars from the road for a year.

We invite you to read our Climate Commitment here and our press release announcing the news here.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support
