| 7/30/2024 |  When most people think of an accountant, they think of their tax preparer who files a return with the government about what has already happened in your business. Sure, they may tell you what they see and what you can improve, but do they tell you HOW to improve? Probably not. On Tuesday, July 30th, from 1:00 to 2:00 pm, at Ethos @ The Citadel, Melissa Lucas will discuss a new breed of accountants that offers services outside the traditional tax or audit services. These trailblazers are redefining the industry and assisting businesses in ways you might never have imagined. Melissa Lucas is a CPA and owner of Lucas Accounting Solutions. Not only is Melissa a small business owner, but she also has a large clientele of small businesses, giving her a vast amount of knowledge on how to help other small businesses. 10 Ways an Accountant Can Help Your Business Succeed (& it's not by filing your taxes!) is a no-cost workshop, but space is limited. Register today at ethosmarion.org/events. more info... |
