About the Host

David Wiener Profile Photo
David Wiener

CEO, Tax Strategist, Speaker, Educator

David “Mr. Cash Flow” Wiener is a nationally recognized authority on real estate tax strategy and cash flow optimization, and the host of The Tax Strategy Playbook podcast. As Founder and CEO of Cash Flow Strategies, Inc., David has spent decades helping real estate investors, business owners, and their advisory teams legally reduce taxes, unlock hidden cash flow, and put more money back into productive assets instead of into the IRS.
Over the course of his career, David has become especially known for his work with cost segregation, 179D energy-efficient commercial building deductions, and other engineering-based tax incentives that accelerate depreciation and free up capital. He has also built a long track record in cash flow and accounts receivable optimization, helping clients improve profitability and financial stability without simply “working harder” or taking on more risk.
David is a sought‑after speaker, trainer, and educator, with audiences ranging from national industry conferences to small mastermind groups and professional associations. He is known for his clear, practical teaching style and his ability to translate complex tax concepts into simple, actionable plays that investors and advisors can use right away. Whether he is speaking to CPAs, medical and dental practice owners, or real estate investors, David’s message is consistent: tax strategy is one of the most powerful—and most overlooked—wealth multipliers available.
On The Tax Strategy Playbook, David brings that same real‑world experience and teaching approach to the microphone. Each episode features in‑depth conversations with top tax strategists, CPAs, attorneys, lenders, and active investors who are using the tax code proactively to build wealth. David guides listeners through topics like bonus depreciation, passive loss rules, real estate professional status, short‑term rental planning, and entity structuring, always with an eye toward what actually works in the field, not just on paper.
Beyond his professional credentials, David is a husband, father, and grandfather who understands that tax planning is ultimately about building lasting wealth and freedom for real families, not just chasing deductions. He created The Tax Strategy Playbook to give serious investors and their advisors a place to learn the strategies usually reserved for boardrooms and ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients—and to empower them to have better, more strategic conversations with their own tax professionals.
If you’re ready to stop treating taxes as a once‑a‑year headache and start using them as a core part of your wealth strategy, David Wiener is the guide you want in your corner.
