For existing bookstore owners who are thinking about retiring, selling, merging or otherwise starting a new chapter, this session will offer a framework for understanding and improving your bookstore's financial performance now so that you can achieve meaningful and timely results in the future. We'll cover store profitability, discretionary earnings, payroll and inventory considerations, ongoing liabilities, and tax obligations. Attendees will leave with a tool kit for best practices and a realistic timeline for next steps. Co-presented by Nicole Magistro and Mark Kaufman of Paz & Associates Bookstore Training Group.
