Through an understanding of the DISC model of behavioral styles, learn the 'universal language' of personalities. This valuable model will impact your business, your relationships, and….believe it or not, help to reduce stress! Studies from Harvard Business Review indicate that 85% of workplace success is due to people skills, and this is one very important component of enhancing those skills. This short presentation is a glimpse into the world of personalities that will be practical, useful and applicable to many areas of life. Understanding yourself and understanding others leads to synergistic relationships, which will enhance your life and your workplace.

Incorporating Tax Strategy in your Business Plan Succeeding with Good Tax Planning in 2010 Presented By Amol Nirgudkar, CPA www.reliancecpa.com amol@reliancecpa.com Managing Partner, Reliance Consulting, LLC No RSVP Required: This is a Free Event. Dinner will be Served. 6:30- 7:00 Registration, Dinner, Networking 7:00 - 7:30 Networking, Introductions 7:30 - 8:30 Presentation and Q&A Presenter's Bio: Graduating with the highest honors from University of South Florida, Amol earned two bachelors degrees in Accounting and Finance and a Masters degree in Accounting. Amol started his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP as a staff auditor and later worked with a well- known Tampa Bay CPA firm as tax and business consultant.
Throughout his professional career, Amol has advised clients ranging from small businesses to large corporations and provided sophisticated tax and advisory services. Amol has developed a significant niche in the healthcare space and has served over 500 physician clients in the Tampa Bay area. He has authored a handbook (Navigating the Business of Medicine) for medical residents and physicians who wish to start their own private practice.
In Amol’s words, “a CPA must look beyond the tax returns”. Most of Amol’s clients compose of highly successful entrepreneurs and professionals who need “hands-on” help and advice in setting up and operating their businesses. Amol views the role of a CPA as a trusted advisor that helps business owners make timely and effective decisions that add value.
This novel approach was appreciated and featured in CPA Today magazine who named Amol as the new generation of CPAs who are changing and shaping the profession. Amol has delivered lectures at USF classrooms discussing this new important role of the CPA profession. In 2008, the USF School of Accountancy awarded two $ 1000 scholarships in Amol’s name for students who excelled in accounting.
