Melinda Young, State Credits & Incentives Director, and Nick Cousino, State Credits & Incentives Senior Manager, join Brooks Nelson, Partner and Strategic Leader, and Sarah McGregor, Tax Director, on this edition of the Tax Beat podcast to share insights on how your business can take advantage of these programs.
