Does the government owe you cash?!
Find out at the next MCA Meeting on February 10.

Join us on Wednesday, February 10 for the February MCA meeting: Taxes and Other Small Business Issues.

Learn everything you were always afraid to ask about taxes -- or all the stuff you've been asking and never got a straight answer. We'll also be covering other issues that small business owners, independent contractors, and other producers might need to know.

Our speakers will include Jim Koenig from Payers for Players and Dick Sacks from The Sacks Group, and and Christopher Leahy from RAI Insurance Group.

Jim Koenig will be speaking primarily about payroll tax issues, particularly the hiring crew and talent as employees vs. hiring them as independent contractors. His firm, Payers for Players, is the area's leading local payroll company for the production community and is familiar with the payroll rules and requirements for all the production and talent unions.

Dick Sacks, an accountant and author of "The Twelve Commandments of Small Business" is the owner of The Sacks group. The Sacks Group was founded to encourage and assist entrepreneurs to reach their life objectives through sound business planning and proven methods of financial management, and Dick will be addressing the tax issues that surround being a small business: what taxes to pay, how often and to whom, when to charge and when to pay sales tax, etc.

Christopher Leahy is the Chief Operating Officer of RAI Insurance Group an independent insurance brokerage firm that represents businesses in their commercial insurance and health insurance needs. He will be speaking about insurance needed as an independent contractor, a small business, as well as full film production companies, theatre operators or radio stations.
