Where I have been. . .

Posted by Bruce Mc on Jun 20, 2010 in Information | 0 comments

            Well let’s not let the title miss lead to much. I haven’t really been gone, but I have been very out of touch for a while so let’s find out what I have been doing. . . 

            Over the course of this past year, I have expanded my firm. Not so much in a construction manner but an expanse of my services. For a full listing, you can go to my website and explore the Services page. 

            The biggest part or upgrade would be the addition of on-line services. We now have available to our clients an online payroll service, on line accounting service, online employee services, and direct deposit capabilities. 

             It seems we have focused our online amenities towards the business folks. Well, that’s just where we started. We aren’t done yet. Still to come (timeline is looking at 2011), are going to have online access for all of our clients’ needs. From basic financial planning, to tax questionnaires (that will go out from here to clients, and back again) along with access to past returns for up to ten years. But that is latter. 

            We currently have over 50 on line calculators to assist you. You’ll find these calculators on our calculator’s web page. Under the following headings – Taxes & Payroll, Business Planning, Personal Finance, College Saving, Retirement, Estate Planning, Home Mortgage, Car Loan, and Loans. 

          Our changes in part are contributed to our upgrade to a better provider company. We have purchased many of our products from Thomson Reuters, the leading software provider worldwide for accounting professionals. This has opened the door to many services we can now offer our growing client base. We will continue to use our software from our pervious providers as well.

          The above notwithstanding, through the #1 software provider for the general public we have been able to offer our clients a choice between the two. By doing this, we are able to accommodate all your needs. 

          Last, but not least. We have a new web site. One of the top things we have done to better serve our clients. Through this site you will have a great many options to help you find the information you need. Not just the calculators that I mentioned above, but you also can find answers to common QuickBooks issues, buy intuit software, incorporate, get tax information at our Tax Center page where you can find more calculators, find forms (Federal and any State), find due dates and much more. You’ll also be able to sign up for our monthly newsletter, have access to financial guides, find links to buy books we recommend, almost everything you might need including my appointment calendar where you can request an appointment and see when we are available. 

           We are very happy with the new site and we hope you will be too. It will offer our clients and others information to access to information that isn’t always that easy to find. I have added links to our web site at the top right of this blog so they will always be there. Go to our home page to start looking for what you need. L & R Tax Preparation.

           As I work my way back through everything I will try and get back to my regular Sunday post where I recap the best post from other tax bloggers along with my favorite PF bloggers.

No word yet from Alltop. I’ll keep everyone up to date as things progress.
