CPA Matt Gardner, co-founder of Gardner & Capparelli is offering a pro bono business accounting office session at the Blackstone LaunchPad powered by Techstars in Bird Library, on Wednesday, February 12 and Friday, February 14 at 10 a.m.  It’s tax season, so what do you need to know if you have raised funds, made revenue, won business plan competitions?  If you are doing business, what about business expenses and deductions to minimize your tax liability?  If you will be making sales this year, how should you structure your businesses, and set up important functions like payroll, bookkeeping and essential accounting?  How should you plan ahead for taxes? It is an opportunity for student startups to get professional business accounting advice from the start.  This is especially important for new businesses, to set up the right systems, and to plan for tax and reporting requirements.
