Let your accountant help you get organized!

With all the beautiful weather we are having, it's easy to procrastinate on organizing your files and getting your taxes done. If you are feeling overwhelmed by this project, let your accountant/tax preparer do it for you! We are able to quickly sort out the tiny pieces of paper and summarize them. We are also able to ask you questions that are relevant to your tax return filing. A lot of people aren't sure what to keep and what is relevant. You can put all your items in a file folder and work with your tax preparer to sort it all out. Get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather. Schedule an appointment with your accountant so their skills and experience can get to work helping you have more time for other things.

Out and about: Pinellas Park Chamber Breakfast

Yesterday I attended the monthly Pinellas Park Chamber breakfast. What a great bunch of people! Attendance was 60+ business owners and Home Income Tax Service was a sponsor. I got a chance to promote the business and meeet new people. There is a lot happening in this community and it's a relaxed grouop -- but they are committed to helping each other. I've had to choose the groups I join wisely because time is limited -- especially unbillable time! When you are starting a business and getting the word out about your services and your business it can be challenge to know how much time to spend on "non-billable" time. I appreciate your comments on how you balance the business development time with "billable" time. I do believe that time invested in a Chamber is a great way to get involved and get the word out. It takes commitment! You've got to show up!

Get ready to file!

The IRS says it's ready for everyone to file! If you haven't been able to file because the IRS hasn't been ready -- no need to wait any longer!
