Overview

You've built a successful business. You manage real cash flow, employ a team, serve customers well. But when you look at your personal balance sheet, the numbers don't match the effort. Most business owners experience this gap-and most assume it's just part of the deal. It's not. In The Owner's Dividend, Caroline McInerney shows you what the most financially successful owners do differently. They don't work harder or earn more. They systematically capture advantages that come with ownership itself-advantages you've already earned but may not be collecting. Growing up in a family manufacturing business, Caroline saw firsthand how business success doesn't automatically become personal wealth. Later, working with owners who successfully built wealth during operations-not just after exit-she recognized the pattern: hustle builds survival, but structure builds wealth. This book introduces the Owner's Dividend framework: a systematic approach to capturing the financial, strategic, operational, and personal advantages inherent in business ownership. You'll learn how to: Close the wealth gap between your business performance and your family's financial security Systematically transfer business income into personal assets that grow independently Coordinate tax strategy, business structure, and investment decisions so they work together instead of against each other Build resilience across every business cycle-growth, crisis, stability, and transition Recognize the paradoxes that keep capable owners from building the wealth they've earned Whether you're years from exit or contemplating succession soon, this book gives you the framework to turn business success into lasting personal independence. No gimmicks. No secrets. Just a system that should have existed all along.
