Accounting for Small Businesses Topic of Free Nov. 17 Seminar

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Good accounting practices can make the difference when operating a successful small business.

That's the message Lindsey Wilson College Assistant Professor of Accounting Lisa Crowe will deliver at free business seminar on Nov. 17.

Crow is the final speaker in the "Build Your Own Job" seminar series sponsored by the LWC Center for Entrepreneurship

Crowe's seminar about accounting programs and practices for entrepreneurs will be at 11 a.m. CT on Thursday, Nov. 17, at Mulligan's at The Pines at Lindsey Wilson College, 275 Country Club Road.

The one-hour seminar is free and open to the public. A complimentary lunch will follow the seminar.

In her presentation, Crowe will review basic paperwork entrepreneurs should keep and file with their accountants, including items such as invoices for business expenses,  payroll records and sales documents.

"Entrepreneurs who stay on top of their paperwork and their cash flow can make their money work hard for them through good times and challenging ones," said Crowe, who is also chair LWC's business and computer information systems division.

Crowe will also talk about affordable accounting software that is available for small-business owners.

"Accounting doesn't have to be a nightmare for entrepreneurs," Crowe said. "It's all a matter of getting off on the right foot, of saving the right written records and recording them in the right way."
