This past Wednesday (April 26, 2023), Perfect Balance Accounting owner Laura DeGroot gave an informative presentation to an Intro to Business course at Carthage College. The presentation focused largely on tax laws and business classifications, such as LLCs, partnerships, and S-corps. Nearly 20 students in the Business Economics department attended the presentation and gained valuable insights into the world of taxes and accounting.
