                <![CDATA[Oct 28, 2026 12pm to 1pm<br><br>In this practical workshop, we’ll cover how to **estimate your tax bill before it becomes a surprise**, determine what you should be setting aside, and use the final months of the year to prepare for tax season. We’ll also break down commonly missed deductions, including mileage, home office expenses, and everyday business costs, plus how better record keeping can help you capture deductions you have already earned.

​Finally, we’ll look beyond taxes and dig into what your business is actually making. You’ll learn a straightforward way to calculate your **effective hourly rate** and better understand what it would take to hire, grow, and remain profitable.

​You’ll leave with practical steps you can take before December 31 to finish the year with greater clarity and start the next one better prepared.

Join us in person at the AIC or virtually through zoom!]]>
