… these are just a few of the important topics and questions that were covered this week as our aspiring entrepreneurs met with Russell Voudrie, CPA (Partner) at West & Company, LLC & Edwardsville CEO board member!

While discussing taxes can be daunting, Russell did an excellent job of breaking it down for all of us. He encouraged students to remember one key takeaway…
