Importance of Consulting with a CPA
One important aspect of starting a design business is consulting with a CPA prior to launching. This helps ensure that you have a clear understanding of tax liabilities and obligations. By consulting with a CPA, you can learn about estimated taxes, when to switch to an LLC, and determine a suitable salary based on your revenue. This early consultation can save you from potential financial headaches and provide a solid foundation for your business.
