President Obama signed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act in December. The PATH Act makes permanent a number of tax extenders for individuals and businesses. The PATH Act also extended other extenders (some through 2016 and some through 2019), revised some of the rules for real estate investment trusts (REITs), revised rules for the Tax Court, and more.

Estate planning on your own can be complicated and costly. State taxes, bureaucracy, probate courts, unfair appraisals, health care concerns, eligibility of heirs, life insurance, IRA's, 401K's, annuities, burial or cremation costs, and intent regarding death-postponing treatment are a few examples of the factors involved.
If you have a family member who is getting older, they may need some help with their day-to-day financial tasks. Simple tasks such as balancing a checkbook and paying household bills can become increasingly difficult for the elderly. You could take care of their day-to-day financial tasks yourself, if you have the time and live close.
When it comes to paying employees, laws and the IRS have made the payroll function a time consuming nightmare for the small business owner. Small business owners spend an average of eight hours a month performing payroll functions. That's 12 full days a year that could be spent generating sales, prospecting new business opportunities, improving products or services, or servicing customers.

I want to first start by saying Mary Lou is one of the worst people I ever met. I worked there over 3 years ago and to this day I tell stories of how awful she is. I hope that every person reading this will think twice about leaving their current job to work for her! Think about it, her staff turnover is way to high!! She has a new accountant every three months. Is this the type of company you want handling your finances?

HOWEVER, I find her billing practices questionable, and because of that I highly
