Recovering Hidden Tax Overpayments
MO Radio's finance team was managing multiple spreadsheets without a unified system, leading to duplicate tax filings and missed deduction claims. The station was overpaying taxes without realizing it, and had no clear visibility into their tax position. This lack of control exposed them to compliance risks and wasted operational capital that could have been reinvested into programming and infrastructure.
