State Tax Issues Impacting Manufactures
While the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone over the last 18 months, it has affected state budgets especially hard. As a result, states are becoming increasingly aggressive in going after manufacturing companies for income and franchise tax, as well as sales and use tax. Is your company protected? In this session, we will examine state nexus rules, filing requirements and how those rules have been changed by COVID-19. We will also look at strategies to make sure your company isn’t running afoul of these rules. Finally, we will look at the recently passed New York State Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) election and what it means for your pass-through entity.

Effective Planning During Uncertain Times
Proper budgeting and planning are critical tools in helping manufacturers to remain competitive, and the importance of planning is magnified during uncertain times such as the ongoing pandemic. However, many manufacturers do not have a formal budgeting or strategic planning process. In this session, we will discuss concepts and techniques that will make the budgeting process more efficient and analyze how effective budgeting, forecasting and strategic planning can help manufacturers respond to market changes and continue to achieve their long-term goals.

Keys to Attracting and Retaining Talented Employees
Reflecting the new realities of today, employers need to be agile in order to adapt to changing business and workforce needs. In this presentation, we will discuss the labor market challenges employers are experiencing and provide insight on what you can do to ensure you attract and retain top talent.
