Startup accounting, tax and finance

December 3, 2021 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us December 3 at 3 p.m. over pizza in the LaunchPad for our last Startup Social conversation of the season. Syracuse University alum Michael Steinmetz CPA will join us to chat about what startups need to know to wrap up their financial year and plan for the next one.

What’s deductible and what isn’t?  How can you minimize tax liability?  What financial records you should be keeping?  What should you be reporting?  If you hired contractors, what forms do you owe them?  How do you handle competition prize winnings as taxable income? How should you be setting up your basic bookkeeping and accounting for the coming year?  What do you need to know about hiring 1099 employees?  If you’re hiring, what do you need to know about payroll taxes?  What quarterly reports should you be filing? What’s some good general advice on setting up your P&L, balance sheet and understanding the different models of accounting – cash basis or accrual basis.
