    Course Fee: $0.00
    Instructor: Robert Driscoll

    Join us for an engaging, interactive two-part workshop focused on accounting, budgeting, tax planning, and how these elements fit into your overall business management.

    The first session will be presented by Phyllis Gartner, Stakeholder Liaison in the Communications division of the IRS. Phyllis will share how to leverage IRS resources and how these tools can support your business and strengthen your role as a business owner.

    The second session will be an interactive Q&A with accountants. Bring your questions and set yourself up for a strong start to 2026 with improved accounting, budgeting, and recordkeeping practices.

    This training is part of a statewide initiative with Small Business Development Centers across Montana. You’ll attend in your local community, and your room will be connected with other cities across the state. This workshop is not designed for at-home individual participation—we’re creating an interactive, collaborative learning environment.

    The presentation from the IRS liaison will be broadcast to your location, and the discussion with a local accountant will take place live and in person at your site.
