The Looming Tax Storm: Maximizing Your Company's Tax Savings Before Big Changes Happen

Whether you’re a financial person or not, this presentation is critical for your business. Why?  Because taxes represent the biggest expense you have in your organization and personally. Minimizing your tax expense will free up capital to invest, hire, and save. Knowing the tax breaks and incentives that you can use will help you defer the costs of bringing on great people and growing your business.

The 2017 tax reform legislation is coming to an end. Many of the provisions are expiring in 2025. Which means that the clock is ticking on more than a few deductions, credits, and other benefits that can have a significant impact on your business. How do you plan for this now? What can you do before the end of 2025 to maximize your tax savings and minimize your tax expenses? What changes can be expected and how can you prepare?

Join author, columnist and CPA Gene Marks for a fast paced, entertaining but very detailed discussion of how tax reform will affect you, your company and your employees.

Good morning, Gene, without a doubt, your presentation was the best closing session I have ever attended. I know you are doing the kickoff for Symposium and I’m sure I will be saying the same for the kickoff session. Somehow, you managed to make all the tough news entertaining. It was a master class on presenting.

Linda Dodd

Learning Specialist, North Carolina Association of CPAs

In a word.... WOW! Gene absolutely delivered. He was spot on for our small business members. He packed a lot into 45 minutes and left everyone with something to take away. People were taking pictures of his slides during his presentation. The conversations about his keynote continued throughout the day. People said they emailed him right after he got off stage. Others mentioned that they were emailing their own accountants to find out if the advice he was giving could help them. They found out that they were entitled to tax relief or grants that would basically offset their price of attending our show. That is a tremendous value for our members. We could not be happier. He was fantastic.

Mike Adamson

Thanks much for the eye-opening (and jaw-dropping) presentation you gave on AI at last week's Mass. Bankers Conference. Would you send me a copy of your deck? I'd love to share it with my Marketing staff.

Peter Roveto

Senior Vice President, Director of Marketing, BrooklineBank

Gene, I would say in my 30 years of attending presentations, yours was THE MOST: valuable, relevant, properly paced, perfect amount of info; not too much, but enough, excellent humor, and perfectly executed presentation I have experienced.

Jill Keim

Gene was a huge hit again. We have never brought a speaker in back to back years. Gene certainly was worthy and delivered again!
