Show Notes: http://wp.me/p1sfi8-1H5 Support Sound Design Live on Patreon for as little as $1: https://www.patreon.com/sounddesignlive In this episode of the Sound Design Live podcast I speak with certified public accountant Rick Norris on creating a strategic plan for your business (which is what you need before a business plan) and who you should have on your team as a small business owner. We also answer the questions: What's the difference between a CPA and a bookkeeper? How do I protect myself from fraud (bogus checks!)? How do I know when I need a book keeper? What percentage of your income do medical bills need to be before you can claim them as a write-off? How do I use independent contractors without coming afoul of labor lays? How do I reduce my audit risk if I take a business loss? Details from the Podcast: All music in this episode by Gold Chains (https://soundcloud.com/topherlafata).
