Bookkeeping and Accounting Basics:
What Every Small Business Owner Should Know

Presented by: Mandy Pearce joined by Dawn Brady

Description:

Do you find yourself asking questions about accounting, business structure, what’s a write-off and what’s not, and how to save the most money as a business owner? Would you like to know the answer to these questions and more, so you can better grasp how to run your business effectively, when it’s time to outsource your accounting, and what you are responsible for when it comes to reporting financials?

Most consultants have a special skill and want to start a business so they can take a deep dive into their unique brilliance AND make money without working for someone else, or on someone else’s schedule. But, not everyone knows the ins and outs of when to be on payroll, how much they should pay themselves, what quarterly taxes are, etc.

Working with clients, planting seeds for future work, keeping projects moving forward, and planning next steps in your business is a full-time job. If you are ready to learn what you need to know about accounting for your business, and some nifty tips and tricks to save you a little money too, this session is for you.
