What’s Your Firm’s Best Move When It Comes To Capital Expenditures?

Your Friendly Bean Counter (FBC) keeps the books for a nice man named Brodie, whose primary business is a mobile dog grooming company, and whose primary name is not really Brodie.

The other day, Brodie called me up to talk about some major capital expenditures he’d been saving up to make, and he wanted my expert and friendly Bean Counting advice on timing the purchases for optimization of his tax bill.

Charm And Good Looks Won’t Impress The Tax Man

Bean There, Done That
Monthly Bookkeeping Wisdom From Your Friendly Bean-Counter

The top question people ask your Friendly Bean Counter (FBC) all the time is: “How can your staff be so talented, and charming, and efficient, all while being so disarmingly attractive?”

Probably the Number Two Question we get is “Is this too late?”

The answers to both of these questions is usually “yes,” but another top question we get is “Do you know anybody who does (X WORK).”

And the answer there is almost always “yes,” as well, because your FBC has an extensive network of professionals who do just about any X WORK your business might need.

We cherish our many wonderful clients, who trust us to keep their books sharply up-do-date and accurate, not to mention compliant with all industry standards, as well as highly data-secure, all while being disarmingly attractive.
