What I Want to do for You

If only I could show you the possibilities of tax savings. I want to help you pay less taxes and use your disposable income to your advantage.

For example: (1) A person pays taxes in the following way: Earn Income, Pay Taxes based on the gross amount you earn, then, pay bills with whatever is left over. (2) A business pays taxes in the following way: Earn Income, pay bills first, then, pay taxes on whatever is leftover (Not on the gross earnings - on the net earnings).

What I know, you need to know. The rich do not know how to save their income, but they have enough money to buy the knowledge from those who do know. They save money because they follow the advice of professionals. I'm offering you, at the average man's rate, the same help for which the rich have to pay dearly. Hopefully you will follow the advice of professionals on my team. My team can be your team. Our knowledge can be your knowledge.

I can help you keep more of your income, pay less taxes and protect your assets. And, if you already are having I.R.S. or State Tax Commission problems, I can represent you with those agencies and offer solutions to your problems.

If you want to save your hard earned cash or if you are having tax problems, contact me. PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL ME at the telephone numbers or email address shown in the "How to Contact Me" section.

If you are having problems with a taxing agency, let me show you how to solve those problems. I have a team consisting of a variety of experts to help you no matter how difficult your tax problems appear.

I offer classes to help form or reorganize a business

I have taught many seminars on how to use a family business to reduce the amount of income on which you have to pay taxes. The biggest tool is rental real estate.

I can show you how to be a "pauper on paper". I can show you how to "own nothing and owe nothing", except maybe your mortgage. I can show you how to buy homes with little down using a conventional loan, or buy on a private contract.

I have developed a good power point program which will outline graphically the steps to becoming independent and self sufficient.

You and your friends together can get together once a week. I'll be more than willing to be your class instructor and teach you secrets very few come to know. As a CPA said in a book she wrote, learn the "Tax loopholes used by the Rich". I am the poor man's accountant and will give you the same information, knowledge and benefits the rich must pay big bucks to get from their accountant, at the average person's ability to pay. Even then the rich don't understand how to do what they are shown. But you will!

Benefits of Owning a Small Business

The I.R.S. allows for individuals to form their hobbies into businesses, known as a "hobby business". They have a nine-item list of what comprises a legitimate business venture. I understand those nine requirements and will give you a listing of those requirements. If you form and own a legitimate business you can:

1. Pay taxes on less declared income while keeping more cash
2. Using your business, you can protect your assets from creditors and legal actions.
3. You can build assets and income which will give your family financial security and give you a better retirement.

Did you know you can use your children to work for your business and their pay can be a business deduction? Did you know that you can own a home and use that home as a business asset? Did you know you can have a business automobile and have the business pay for it's gas, insurance, maintenance and repairs? So many things you can do as a small business owner.

Everyone does something on the side to make a little extra money. You don't know what you are missing by not taking this money-making hobby to a new level. PLEASE CALL ME or EMAIL ME. Let's talk. There is no charge for our initial meeting. The telephone numbers or email address is shown on the section "How to Contact me".
