I hope that this hour will prove interesting and help you to streamline your year-end closing process, thereby saving you time and providing you with important information to help you run a profitable business.
Here is what we will be covering this morning:
- New California requirements for employee versus independent contractors
- Monthly/year-end closing checklist
- Using your annual financial statements to improve your business
I have prepared a few handouts for you to give you some information about each of the main topics as shown above and I will be talking about each of the topics during our hour.
If there is any additional information that you would like about these or other topics you find you need assistance with please contact me at your convenience and we can go over what you need.
