TAXES:
What Every Entrepreneur and Consultant Needs To Know
Speaker: Jina Etienne, CPA
Audience: Consultants, Small Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Soon-To-Be
Small Business Owners, Freelancers, and Free Agents
Description: Is your business paying more in taxes than required by law?
Whether your business grosses millions of dollars each year or you are
just getting started as an independent consultant, you probably hire an
outside accountant to handle tax return submission. The ultimate
responsibility for paying appropriate taxes, however, is yours. Do you
have the basic accounting knowledge needed to supervise the work of your
accountant? Do you stay current on tax law changes?
Because tax return deadlines for corporations and individuals are
approaching, the focus of this presentation will be on income tax
compliance and preparation rather than on tax planning and consulting
issues. This presentation will alert you to mistakes and oversights that
can cost you money, and to tax law changes you need to know about. The
presentation will be followed by a question and answer session, so gather
your questions and join us.
Speaker: Jina Etienne, CPA, has more than 15 years of public accounting
experience. She began her career with Deloitte & Touche, one of the "Big
Eight" accounting firms, where her focus was tax planning and compliance
for corporations, partnerships, and S corporations ranging from government
contractors and vending companies to hospitality and retail firms. When
she left Deloitte & Touche to start Etienne & Associates, LLC, her focus
shifted to the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses.
With her own practice, Jina Etienne provides a wide range of accounting
services for businesses and individuals, including tax planning and
preparation, and business consulting. Her client base is diverse,
including retail and service-based businesses as well as consultants and
contractors. For individuals, her services generally include tax return
preparation and tax planning, including tax research and representation
before the IRS.
Ms. Etienne earned an M.S. in taxation in 1993 and a B.S.B.A. in
accounting in 1989 from American University. Jina has also taught
accounting as an adjunct professor at American University and teaches
QuickBooks at local accounting seminars and conferences.
