    Owner Distributions

    Definition

    Cash or property transferred from the business to its owners — distinct from owner compensation.

    Why it matters

    Distribution decisions affect tax treatment, working capital, and the owner's ability to fund personal goals. They should be planned, not reactive.

    Where this comes up

    • Owner Pay Strategies: Salary, Distributions, and Tax Planning
    • Bookkeeping for Professional Services Firms in North Texas
