Multi-store owners: Are running payroll through all of your locations? This episode is a must listen...

In this episode of Master the Margin, Scotty Sykes, CPA, CFP® and Kathy Blanchard, Senior Pharmacy Accountant, dive into the nuances of common paymaster status and why it’s often misunderstood in multi-store pharmacy operations.

- The payroll risks of misclassifying employees across entities 
- The role of controlled group rules in IRS compliance 
- How common ownership impacts payroll, 401(k)s, benefits, and more
