September 03, 2018Making the Most of Bookkeeping Services
Do you conduct your own bookkeeping services? The tax season is upon us, a time when some business owners struggle doing their returns.

On today's show, we have Kay Leland from The Bean Counters Bookkeeping LLC, located in Wilmington, North Carolina. She began her accounting career while still at school and has a master's in accounting from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. She worked for the US Army Audit Agency for some years before setting up her own business which provides bookkeeping services and accounting services to small businesses as well as teaching them how to be more efficient.

Bookkeeping services - Key Points
There are three different levels of accounting.

CPAs will typically not get involved in regular bookkeeping.

The number one tip is to outsource early and often.

There are a lot of accounting certifications and many people who do bookkeeping, but you want to find someone with an accounting degree.

Accounting and bookkeeping touch every part of your business. Despite its importance, it is probably one of the most ignored things because it's not fun to do.

Every small business is different, therefore you want a bookkeeper to know your business and understand how it runs.

How Kay helped an established restaurant business save money and become more efficient.

An online business store resolved cash flow problems by learning about invoice terms.

Don't let things snowball: many entrepreneurs discover issues during tax time.

Be sure to establish an effective communication process with your bookkeeper.

You need to have a bookkeeper who knows about your industry and thus can proactively give valuable insights for the company.

Outsource everything you can, as often as possible.

Tune in for practical tips to improve your business while protecting your purpose.

August 27, 2018When a Non-Compete Agreement Has Been Violated
Do you know what to do when a non-compete agreement has been violated? In Amit Bindra's last episode, we talked about protecting trade secrets and confidential information.

We continue this conversation today by diving into what happens when you need to take an employee to court when a non-compete agreement has been violated in the workplace. We touch on what the process looks like and the impact of recent laws in Nevada, Utah, and Illinois.

With us is Amit Bindra from The Prinz Law Firm located in Chicago Illinois. He uses his extensive experience in employment law to run a practice focused on non-compete agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and trade secrets.

When a Non-Compete Agreement Has Been Violated - Key Points
A non-compete agreement can remain valid whether an employee leaves voluntarily or is terminated.

Legal redress for a violation often happens quickly.

A preliminary injunction or a TRO decision (temporary restraining order) could be issued.

Employees may try to file suit to declare an employer's action void or invalid.

Illinois recently passed the Illinois Freedom to Work Act to protect low wage earners.

Utah passed a law that a non-compete agreement that last more than one year is not enforceable.

Nevada amended their non-compete law that limits enforcement if a client seeks out a former employee, rather than the employee soliciting the client.

Congress recently passed the Defend Trade Secrets Act.

Employers use the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to prevent employees from accessing their computer system without permission.

When drafting agreements, work with your attorney to protect the company's interests.

Typically, employers include a clause in the agreements to ensure if they win, their attorney fees and expenses will be paid by the employee.

We hope you enjoy listening; have a great day!

August 20, 2018The Employment Side of Starting a Business: Hiring Employees
We are continuing our conversation on the ABCs of starting a business. We will follow the progress of a fictitious newly formed Yoga Studio. In episode 128 we looked at business structure and today we will focus on hiring employees.

With us is Cory Johnson from Cory W. Johnson, CPA, LLC which is located in Silver Spring, Maryland. He has about 200 individual clients and about 30 business clients located all throughout the country. He provides accounting, payroll, CPA, incorporation, and tax services.

Hiring Employees - Key Points
When hiring employees, you can choose to hire either employees or contractors to work for your business.

The front desk worker is probably an employee while the yoga instructor is most likely a contractor.

Look for guidance to help you determine whether someone is your employee or a contractor.

In addition to salaries, payroll-related expenses include social security, medicare, and unemployment tax payments.

Use a payroll service provider to make mandated state and federal payments as well as monthly or quarterly filing of relevant taxes.

Monthly, quarterly, and annual employer tax returns may need to be filed.

A business owner can have a solo 401(k), but if you are employed and run a business, there are limits to what you can contribute to it.

Putting money away in a retirement savings account reduces your tax obligation.

Listen in and find out Cory's best tip on doing due diligence.

August 13, 2018The ABC’s of Starting a Business
When starting a business, there are steps to take in fulfilling legal, state and federal requirements. The business structure you choose determines whether you will incur double taxation or make savings by paying less in taxes.

We're talking to Cory Johnson from Cory W. Johnson, CPA, LLC which is located in Silver Spring, Maryland. Originally from Baltimore, he graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia with a BBA in accounting and then worked as an accountant and auditor for Aramark, Grant Thornton LLP, and KPMG. He is currently an accountant with The Architect of the Capitol which is a federal government legislative branch agency.

Starting a Business - Key Points
Start with an operating agreement or bylaws.

File your organizing documents in your state of residence or where you want your business to be incorporated.

Before you launch your business, obtain a federal employer identification number from the IRS.

Clients often don't have the tools to keep accurate financial records and are unaware of how their business will affect personal taxes.

Sole proprietors end up being double-taxed on the same net profit: at the individual income tax rate as well as self-employment tax.

Partnerships also incur double taxation.

Most people prefer to get professional help to handle tax papers and IRS documents.

The LLC is the most commonly used business structure because of the tax benefit.

Cory and Hans go through an example of how you pay less tax with an LLC-S Corp compared to a sole proprietor or general partnership.

Tune in for a high-level discussion on getting your business started.
