Meet Your Workshop Host: Attorney Ian Foster
Â
I'm Ian Foster, attorney specializing in coaches, healers, and transformational leaders. I believe every business owner is entitled to quality tax assistance. I think you deserve to understand how the tax laws work and apply to you, so you aren't at the mercy of tax avisors.
My solution to this problem is a unique one-day workshop where you can actually see specific examples that will help you report the correct income and deduct all the expenses to which you're entitled!
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Most of my courses and workshops are useful for people living all over the world. However, this specific workshop is mostly useful for people who form businesses and and file taxes in the United States.
This workshop is most useful for small business owners, particularly those in personal services such as clinicians, coaches, and healers.
Yes, in fact that's one of our main goals. Each type of business entity works differently, and some have different choices you can make for tax purposes. We'll help you make the right choice for you!
We can help! If you're a licensed professional, such as a doctor, nurse, therapy, attorney, or accountant, we're going to talk about the specific issues and problems you confront when forming one or more business entities!
Yes. We'll talk about how to form and use a business entity the right way from the start.
You bet! You'll get sample spreadsheets for tracking your business income and expenses, as well as your contributions and distributions from your business. You'll also get checklists to help you start a LLC and a simple, fill-in-the-blank template to write its operating agreement!
If you already have an accountant you like and trust who helps you make business choices, that's great! This workshop will actually make you a better client for them!
Your accountant can only do so much. They work with the information you give them and make the best of the decisions you've been making all year long. Ask any tax attorney or tax accountant and they'll tell you it's much easier to help a client who understands business taxes well than a client who doesn't know what they're doing.
It’s Time to Run Your Business the Right Way
Many entrepreneurs have big hearts and powerful missions—but when it comes to the legal side of running a business, confusion and fear often hold them back. Misunderstandings about “what counts” as a real business can lead to missed income, unnecessary risk, and endless anxiety.
This one-day workshop is your chance to change that. Join us on Saturday, December 13, and gain the clarity, confidence, and tools to structure your business the right way—so you can protect your livelihood, increase your earnings, and make the impact you’re meant to make.
Choose your payment option and secure your spot today—because understanding your business isn’t just smart, it’s empowering.
