1. Tax Preparation

"Mention the word taxes and many people start sweating . . . The maze of tax forms you must wade through can seem overwhelming, and following the rules can seem impossible. But take heart: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has worked hard (hic) in recent years to try to simplify the process for most taxpayers. Filing incorrectly may bring heavy penalties, so it's important to take advantage of all the help you can get. "

2. Booking Keeping

"Bookkeeping. Quick, turn the page, let's get to something interesting! Let someone else worry about the numbers...I really don't do numbers. I've never been a business person, I'm a craftsman! All I have to do is make my product well and everything will be OK.

Does all that sound familiar? How would you feel about someone working for you who said, "Take care of my tools? I don't know how - I've always let someone else do that, I really don't do that part of the job, and besides, I think they're good enough - they still work." Well, if you take the attitude that books are either beneath your notice or too complex for you to understand, you're working with dull tools. Your business depends on a variety of things to keep it healthy - a good product or service delivered by competent people is one part of the picture - but well kept books is just as important. "

3. Financial Planning

" Financial planning is not a product... it is a process. With the assistance of a planner, clients may use specific financial products, such as insurance or equities, but only as ends to accomplish the goals they have established. The financial planning process is a series of steps taken to help clients accomplish their goals. A qualified financial planner, such as a Certified Financial Planner professional, will first gather and analyze data about a client's income and expenses, taxes, insurance coverage, retirement plans, wills, trusts, investments and other information pertinent to the overall financial situation.
