Event Details
Program Overview:
Launching a business and managing it as it grows can be more challenging than ever in a market characterized by changing regulations, increasing globalization, and current economic uncertainty. Start-ups and early stage companies face intense competition as well as strong pressure to demonstrate a real return on investment. Profitability is everyone’s goal, but companies also need rigorous financial controls and the appropriate tax structure set up from the beginning to help assure investors of the quality of earnings and the ability to be able to vet a variety of questions as the company faces key decision points.
This half-day workshop will deliver practical advice about start-up accounting and tax issues that will help you prepare and implement effective procedures and systems. The discussion will be practical, and will reflect on the common questions being asked by CFOs, CEOs of start-up companies.
What you will learn:
•Reporting and controls matters to consider;
•Income tax considerations when setting up your company structure;

About NISP’s Frameworks Entrepreneur Workshops
NISP offers ongoing educational opportunities for entrepreneurs building and growing innovative hitech, biotech or cleantech companies and offers member companies the opportunity to provide expert content to a responsive, interactive audience.
Many of today’s business founders and future entrepreneurs have scientific and technical backgrounds but have had limited experience in industry, so they often lack exposure to critical information which is essential to leading a start-up. To fill this gap, NISP offers Frameworks Entrepreneur Workshops to provide these bright leaders with the vocabulary, foundations and framework around which they can build awareness of the many disciplines they will oversee as “C” level managers”
