FREE 1st CPA meeting for new Sellwood businesses

Monday the 15th of February, 2010
I offer a free 1st meeting to all local small businesses.

I've spent 20 years advising PDX clients, so I've heard all of the questions & can help?

Should I be incorporated? What can I really deduct? What kind of records must I keep? How do I pay myself? Do I need to pay quarterlies? Do I need a City license? What are Trimet taxes? 1099's? Personal property taxes? Auto mileage rates? How do I use Quickbooks?

Just give me a call at 503-287-5584 to schedule a time for your free meeting.

See my website for a complete description of my business - it was written & programmed entirely by me. My niche is providing one-on-one personal service directly to business owners.

Auction revenue contributes to 82% of the operating budget which covers:

1. Tuition Assistance
2. Building and Plant Maintenance
3. Curriculum/Instruction needs
4. Payroll and Personnel Expenses

The St. Agatha Catholic School Community can participate in the following ways:

1. Procure or donate items by March 1st.

2. Participate in the Raffle! $2500 towards Scrip, vacations or tuition to any Catholic school in the United
States.

3. Join us at the auction!

Thank you!
