Get Organized.

Get Compliant.

Get Your Money.

A Tax Literacy Event for Small Business Owners

Running a business should create opportunity—not confusion, stress, or costly surprises at tax time.

What Is This Seminar About

Get Organized Core Promise is the first of a curated three-part tax literacy experience designed to help small business owners, self-employed professionals, and guide participants to get into a better position to keep more of what they earn and independent contractors take greater control of their money, records, tax responsibilities, and long-term financial future.

Hosted by tax professional Latasha S. Drake, EA, and financial educator Ryan Ray, this Get Serious Seminars series brings practical tax education, financial empowerment, and real-world business insight into one room.

During Get Organized Core Promise with us, you will learn how to take total control of your day-to-day business tracking and stop feeling overwhelmed by piles of receipts.

Industry Examples: Beauty & Grooming booth renters tracking daily cash/digital tips, and Content Creators organizing brand deal invoices versus equipment purchases.

Whether you are a contractor, transportation professional, barber, stylist, mental and physical health specialist, skilled trades professional, content creator, coach, freelancer, or gig worker, this series will help you better understand the financial habits and tax fundamentals that support a sustainable business.
