Welcome to Banking On Growth, the podcast where we explore the evolving landscape of community banking and financial strategies. I’m your host, Mike Graham, president of Midwestern Securities, and today we have a special guest joining us—Wes Johnson, CPA from Forvis Mazars.

Wes is a seasoned tax and consulting services expert and a proud Central Illinois native. In this episode, we’ll delve into the implications of recent political changes on tax planning and policy, mainly how they affect community banks and their clients. With the Republican Party now holding significant power in Washington, we’ll discuss what this means for tax rates, corporate structures, and the future of community banking.

Wes will share his insights on navigating these changes and what community banks should consider in their strategic planning. So, whether you're a banker, a business owner, or just curious about the financial world, stay tuned as we unpack these critical topics that could shape the future of banking in our communities. Let's get started!
