Succession Stories With Laurie Barkman

Jul 7, 2023 | Newsletter, Webinars

When selling your business, it’s the net number that counts. Succession Stories host Laurie Barkman focuses on tax strategies to consider when selling a business and speaks with two colleagues from Wessel & Company, a regional tax and accounting firm in Pennsylvania- Joel Valentine, President and CEO, and Christopher Weir, Partner.
