Seeking profit as a primary business purpose is like building a house on sand – it eventually leads to collapse. It may be one reason that 90% of the companies that have appeared on the Fortune 500 list since it was first published in 1955 have disappeared. Cynthia LaConte will speak on the power of purpose and how this concept has contributed to Dohmen’s success for the last 154 years. She will also explore the importance of applying this concept to the future of the life sciences. As the pharmaceutical industry faces an industry changing paradigm shift, there needs to be a call to action to restore the power of purpose.

Federal Incentives That Can Show You the Money
As the country continues to fight its way out of the economic downturn, businesses and their owners are constantly looking for ways to increase cash flow. Several Federal tax incentives are available to help you meet this goal. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be in a high-tech industry to benefit from the Research and Experimentation Credit. Nor do you need to place in service an entire “green” building to benefit from the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction or other energy incentives. Even if your business currently isn’t producing taxable income, you may still be able to use these incentives to recover taxes paid in prior years or shelter future taxable income.
This presentation discusses key elements of:
• Research and Development Tax Credits
• Domestic Production Activities Deduction
• Energy Efficient Building Deduction

The research and experimentation credit recently was enhanced to give small businesses greater access to its benefits. Eligible small businesses can now elect to offset their liability for AMT or payroll tax with research credits, where many payroll tax returns filed in the fourth quarter of 2017 will first see these credit claims.
As we explore many of the activities that qualify small businesses to the research credit, we will also review the eligibility criteria for the payroll tax offset, as well as the manner in which the payroll tax offset works for employers using PEOs to lease employees.

Innercode Australian Government Grants Presentationinnercode
A presentation conducted for StartupSpring that outlined the three major government grants that are available to software and technology companies. It covers the R&D Tax Incentive, the Export Market Development Grant and Commercialisation Australia.
The SBIR/STTR Program is a valuable resource for small businesses. But what is it, exactly? How does a company apply for one? Which type is better for your client? Which agencies participate? What are your clients in for? The answers to these questions have rippling impacts on a business, from the front office to the back office, from operations to human resources to finance. There are many pitfalls to be aware of, and best practices are usually kept quiet due to a lack of networking opportunities available.
We'll start by building a basic understanding of the SBIR/STTR Program: the regulatory foundation in the FAR, the SBA's role, and the participating agencies. Then we'll dive deeper and discuss how small businesses can research government needs, build a responsive proposal, and prepare their organization for the award. We'll share real-world examples, both positive and negative, to help you support your clients through this rewarding, and sometimes troublesome, program.

Startup4Chinese @ GTA #6: How to get funding from Canadian government?Ke Zheng
Guess how many kinds of wage subsidies, grants, contributions and financial assistance are provided by Canada government? The answer is 339 different programs! Amazing, isn't it?

Editor's Notes
Before I introduce our speakers, Mike Boenzi and Kristen Chapman, I'd like to spend just a couple minutes to give you a little background on Grant Thornton.
Grant Thornton is a CPA firm that has been serving Wisconsin companies for over 85 years. According to AccountingToday, Grant Thornton ranks as the 6th largest CPA firm in the country.Backed by the experience of over 5,000 U.S. professionals and nearly 30,000 professionals internationally, Grant Thornton provides the perfect balance of resources and attention.Our client-base is the growth engine of America’s economy: private entrepreneurial businesses and mid-sized public companies, what Grant Thornton defines as dynamic organizations.
With the implementation of our most recent strategic plan, Grant Thornton reconfirmed it's commitment to the technology sector by identifying our technology practice as one of our 3 core industries nationally.The result of helping technology-based companies succeed has translated into approximately a $160 million annual practice for Grant Thornton. To give you an idea of the volume of that practice for Grant Thornton, if we spun that out into a separate firm, it would rank as one of the country's top 25 firms.As you can see by the slide, our technology practice is broken down into a number of subsectors.
Nationally as well as in Wisconsin, biotechnology and life sciences is a major portion of our client-base.As we are all aware, UW-Madison ranks as one of the most prolific research universities in the world– providing the perfect environment for a vibrant technology and biotechnology business community.This technology-based business community is critical to the economic growth of Dane County and Wisconsin and Grant Thornton is committed to continuing to support these important entrepreneurs, business owners, investors and executives succeed.So with that, I "thank you" for your attention and "thank you" to Bryan Renkand BioForward for allowing us this opportunity to participate in what will surely be an informative presentation.
I'd now like to introduce Mike Boenzi and Kristen Chapman, who are both a part of our Research & Development team at Grant Thornton.
