Transparency strengthens business accountability. As business owners, it is important to hold your business accountable for its actions, decisions, and impact on society. Unfortunately, there is a lot of dishonesty in the US Financial System including crimes like tax fraud and money laundering. To combat these dishonest practices, the Corporate Transparency Act was created. 
Today’s guest, Shahara Wright, business law attorney and owner of The Wright Firm, works with small businesses and nonprofit organizations as general counsel, helping with legal and business strategies, including entity formation, mergers and acquisitions, investor packages, and contracts. In this episode, Shahara defines the Corporate Transparency Act and the importance of filing a Beneficial Ownership Information report (BOI). She not only files BOI reports for her current clients but also supports small business owners through her blog and website, providing valuable information on the Corporate Transparency Act. If you’re unsure of how to file a BOI report, or just looking for insights on the Corporate Transparency Act, this episode is for you!
