Tax Planning for Business Fall 2019 

Tax Planning for Business:  

Have you ever been surprised about what you owe the IRS come tax time? This workshop will teach you ways to eliminate unwelcome surprises by knowing what your tax bill is likely to be, and help you identify ways to create a budget ahead of time. We’ll also discuss ways businesses can reduce the amount of taxes they owe, and how those tax savings can be harvested by business owners.

Mark Goodson, CPA at Carol L. King & Associates, PA. Accounting and taxes are in Mark’s DNA. For him, it’s all in the family - his father, grandfather, aunt, uncle, sister, son and daughter are all accountants or tax return preparers. Getting his start preparing tax returns as a teenager at his family's Winston-Salem tax and accounting firm, Mark has been fascinated with business, finance and taxes all his life. He earned a BS in Accounting at Guilford College and an MBA in Finance from Georgia State University. Mark then spent 30 years working as a Chief Financial Officer and Controller with major banks and securities firms around the state before coming to the mountains five years ago with his wife Annie and children Katie and William. His experience includes general accounting, managing accounts payable and accounts receivable, financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting. When not crunching numbers, Mark enjoys gardening and is interested in North Carolina's geography, geology and culture.
