Tampa, FL 33612    

Speaker: Laura Plum, CPA

Topic: PI Prep for 2015 Tax Season

As we attempt to continue to bring you new topics, we have reached out to various CPAs and found one who was willing to come speak to a group of Private Investigators. This month, a discussion will occur discussing your small business and possible tax deductions you may claim for your business or as a PI working for an Investigative Agency.

Laura A. Plum, CPA founded her practice in 1988 and has since been dedicated to assisting clients work on their businesses, rather than in their businesses. This focus reflects her MBA education and experience as a corporate officer before starting Plum & Company.  

Those attending the meeting are encouraged to request different subjects to discuss and offer their input to assist others in attendance. After the meeting, networking will resume.
