Financials 101: You deserve to retire
Episode 92
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
At Summit, we believe salon professionals should be able to retire on their own terms. In this last episode in our Financials 101 series with CPA Chris Wittich from Boyum Associates, Chris explains why you should be saving for retirement now, even if you're working your very first job. Chris and Blake discuss retirment investment accounts for individuals like IRAs, Roth IRAs, and 401Ks. Also, did you know you can create an online account with the Social Security Administration and see how much you've been contributing in your working life so far? (We didn't!)From the salon owner perspective, we have advice on providing retirement plans for employees, and how to encourage your staff members to contribute.
