The Business Tax Readiness Workshop

Helping business owners identify gaps, understand important year-end considerations, and determine what they should do before 12/31/2026. Business Tax Readiness Workshop What Should Your Business Do Before December 31? Tax preparation happens after the year is over. Tax planning happens while you still have time to make decisions. Join R. Payne Financial & Tax Solutions for an interactive, one-hour Business Tax Readiness Workshop designed to help business owners identify gaps, understand important year-end considerations, and determine what they should be reviewing before December 31. This isn't about overwhelming you with tax rules or turning you into a tax expert. It's about helping you better understand your business finances, recognize areas that may need attention, and know what questions you should be asking before the year closes. During this workshop, we'll discuss: • Year-End Tax Strategies to Consider — Learn about tax-planning opportunities and financial decisions that may be worth discussing before December 31. • Tax Planning vs. Tax Preparation — Understand why filing your return and strategically planning for taxes are two very different things. • Bookkeeping & Recordkeeping Gaps — Identify issues in your financial records that could create problems or cause you to miss valuable information at tax time. • Estimated Taxes — Understand why estimated taxes matter throughout the year and why waiting until tax season can lead to surprises. • Commonly Missed Year-End Items — Learn about information, documentation, and business activity owners often don't think about until it's too late. • Your Next Steps — Leave with an action plan for what you need to review, organize, discuss, or address before year-end. • What's Included? Your $16 registration includes: ✓ One-hour interactive workshop ✓ Business Tax Readiness Workbook ✓ Lunch ✓ Practical year-end guidance you can begin using immediately Who Should Attend? This workshop is designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to feel more prepared and informed going into tax season — especially those who aren't sure whether their bookkeeping, estimated taxes, records, or year-end planning are where they need to be. You don't need to know everything about taxes. But you should know enough about your business to recognize when something needs your attention. Before December 31 Arrives... Ask yourself: Are my books current? Do I know approximately what my business has earned? Have I reviewed my estimated tax position? Are there year-end strategies I should be considering? Am I actually prepared for tax season — or am I hoping everything works itself out later? If you don't know the answers, this workshop is for you. Wednesday, October 14, 2026 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Garner Chamber of Commerce $16 — Lunch + Workbook Included Limited seating available. Reserve your seat and start preparing before the year closes.
