Plain and Simple: Bright Business Insights Winter 2018

PLAIN AND SIMPLE Bright Business Insights Vol. 3 | Issue 1 | Winter 2018 Dear Readers, Since the last edition of Plain and Simple, a lot has happened in the tax world with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). This new legislation is sure to bring about many changes for individuals and businesses, alike. While the provisions outlined through- out the TCJA have raised a lot of questions, we continue to be committed to helping you understand these changes while identifying strategies that maximize your tax savings. To that end, we certainly hope this edition of Plain & Simple will answer some of your more pressing tax reform questions. We know that, due to the sheer complexity of the legislation, you have a lot of questions. And we also know that we can’t cover every- thing in a few short pages. That being said, we are always happy to answer any questions you may have. In addition to writing about tax reform, we recently conducted a few seminars to provide some insight and to answer some of your specific questions. Thank you to those who attended! As the IRS continues to offer more guidance on the legislation, we anticipate additional questions and concerns. If you would like to attend a similar event in the future, please let us know. You can either call your tax advisor directly, or you can send back the questionnaire we’ve included in this edition of Plain and Simple with your preferences. Speaking of the questionnaire, I hope you will please consider completing it and sending it back. We truly value your feedback. This is a great way for you to let us know what you like about this publication and what you would like to see moving forward. Your answers will also help us determine future educational events you would like us to host and whether you would find value in a CEO peer group in Wooster. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with us! Finally, even though tax reform is demanding a lot of attention these days, we know that you are grappling with other business chal- lenges. Inside these pages you will find valuable articles about Payroll Mate, pricing and overhead rates, which HR services can be outsourced, succession planning and what makes a quality, reliable business advisor relationship. My team and I are looking forward to helping you make 2018 the best year yet for your business. Thank you for your continued support. And remember, if you ever have questions about the topics discussed in Plain and Simple, or any other business-related concerns, we are always only a phone call away!
