David Maister, a prominent consultant to primarly law firms, once said, "You'll have more fun and success by focusing on helping other people achieve their goals than you will by focusing on your own goals." We agree. To become this, we had to change a number of commonly used CPA firm approaches regarding pricing, customer service and responsiveness with those that reflect value, customer satisfaction and promptness.
It meant converting to new habits in key areas. For instance, we eliminated the terms "client" and "fee." By definition those mean a person who retains a professional and pays for a service rendered. That doesn't say much. So, we replaced them with "customer" and "price." After all, a "customer" is one who buys often or frequently and "price" is the cost of obtaining some benefit or advantage.
We want to see or hear from you often and we want you to receive a good rate of return from whatever you buy from us. Next, we moved on to using objectives and metrics in our proposals.

Have you just started a new business?
Did you know expenses incurred before a business begins operations are not allowed as current deductions?
Generally, these start up costs must be amortized over a period of 180 months beginning in the month in which the business begins.
However, based on the current tax provisions, you may elect to deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up and $5,000 of organizational costs paid or incurred.
The $5,000 deduction is reduced by any start-up or organizational costs which exceed $50,000.
