New Year, New Webinar

Timing is everything. When it comes to tax issues, the New Year brings immediate attention to federal and state tax filings and the various regulations that are entailed. For the members of NARMS, providers of at-retail merchandising and marketing services, this is particularly true. This is the beauty and the power of our webinar series. It allows us to provide expert insight on a topic exactly when it is needed. On this Thursday, January 8 at 1:00 pm CST, NARMS along with Natural Insight present Federal Tax Developments featuring top experts from Clifton Gunderson LLP.
