TAXES:
What Every Entrepreneur and Consultant Needs To Know
Speaker: Jina Etienne, CPA, Etienne & Associates
Is your business paying more in taxes than required by law?
Whether your business grosses millions of dollars each year
or you are just getting started as an independent
consultant, you probably hire an outside accountant to
handle tax return submission. The ultimate responsibility
for paying appropriate taxes, however, is yours. Do you have
the basic accounting knowledge needed to supervise the work
of your accountant? Do you stay current on tax law changes?
Because tax return deadlines for corporations and
individuals are approaching, the focus of this presentation
will be on income tax compliance and preparation rather than
on tax planning and consulting issues. This presentation
will alert you to mistakes and oversights that can cost you
money, and to tax law changes you need to know about. The
presentation will be followed by a question and answer
session, so gather your questions and join us.
Speaker: Jina Etienne, CPA, has more than 15 years of public
accounting experience. She began her career with Deloitte &
Touche, one of the "Big Eight" accounting firms, where her
focus was tax planning and compliance for corporations,
partnerships, and S corporations ranging from government
contractors and vending companies to hospitality and retail
firms. When she left Deloitte & Touche to start Etienne &
Associates, LLC, her focus shifted to the needs of small-
and medium-sized businesses.
With her own practice, Jina Etienne provides a wide range of
accounting services for businesses and individuals,
including tax planning and preparation, and business
consulting. Her client base is diverse, including retail and
service-based businesses as well as consultants and
contractors. For individuals, her services generally include
tax return preparation and tax planning, including tax
research and representation before the IRS.
Ms. Etienne earned an M.S. in taxation in 1993 and a
B.S.B.A. in accounting in 1989 from American University.
Jina has also taught accounting as an adjunct professor at
American University and teaches QuickBooks at accounting
seminars and conferences.
