The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is one of the most comprehensive tax and workplace reform packages in recent history, with wide-ranging implications for businesses of all sizes. Extending elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and introducing new provisions, OBBBA includes changes such as no tax on overtime and tips, increased deductions for small businesses, and adjustments to payroll and HR reporting requirements.

Brett Karhoff, Shareholder at Hungerford CPAs + Advisors, will break down the key details and implications of this new legislation, helping employers and employees understand both the opportunities and challenges it presents. Attendees will learn how the provisions may increase take-home pay, stimulate job growth in certain industries, and what compliance steps businesses should begin preparing for now.

Following Brett’s presentation, the Presidents of the Lakeshore Chamber Coalition will share how they are working together to build stronger collaboration and a more connected business community along the lakeshore.

Key Takeaways:

What the OBBBA states and when provisions take effect
How payroll and HR departments must adjust to track new requirements
The impact of “no tax on overtime and tips” and how long it lasts
Opportunities for small businesses and partnerships under new deductions
Potential challenges with federal program cuts and how employers can mitigate them
How lakeshore chambers are uniting to strengthen the regional business community

Join us for an informative morning of networking, breakfast, and practical insights to help your business navigate these sweeping changes.
