JCDI, Lilburn, GA

Dear John,

We’re halfway through the year and it looks like we may actually surpass our projections of 40% sales growth over last year. I know we could not have survived this incredible growth without your advice and support. Or at least we wouldn’t have survived with our sanity intact.

This is a ‘Thank You’ note. You’ve been taking care of me and my company for close to four years now, and without thinking real hard, I can come up with about $400,000 you’ve saved me. Personally, you got me a tax refund of $3,000 that I didn’t expect, plus you got the IRS to waive $15,000 worth of penalties. Your advice on estate planning will save me and my heirs at least $200,000. For my company, you established a $35,000 credit line at a great rate because you managed to get three banks clamoring for our account. And best of all, you converted this company to an S corporation, saving us about $150,000 in taxes this year.

You’ve answered all my questions in English, in a way I could understand. You’ve talked to me as a person with a business, not a client with a checkbook. You’ve taken the time to get to know me, my business, and the way it all fits together. You’ve removed my burden of paper work and form filing and unbalanced ledgers and allowed me to concentrate all my energy on product development and increasing our sales. In short, your thoughtful attention to this company has made it possible for us to grow.

Again, thank you for your guidance. We really couldn’t have done it without you! Sincerely, Kim B., Business Manager

Mission Hangovers…Keeping the Love Alive

Lawrenceville/Snellville/Lilburn CPA…Mission Hangovers…Keeping the Love Alive

When coming back from Mission Trips and getting back into the world of computers, e-mail, and cell phones it is easy for us to get distracted and to take our eyes off the prize of Jesus Christ.

As you begin your life back in the world Satan will redouble his efforts to derail you and your walk in Christ as you seek to serve Him.

Leaving the safety and the cocoon of love on your mission trip, the devil will do what He might to lead you astray and away from our Savior.

Resolve in your heart that you will not be moved from doing all that He lays on your heart.

Seek Him with all your soul and might and He will rise you up at the anointed time.

John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through me.”    Missions are for those seeking to Grow Closer to Him, Closer to the Truth and to Grow and to Lead Others Towards Christ.

He alone is worthy of our praise for there is nothing we can do to earn our way into Heaven

It is a free gift from our Savior that we can accept solely by our belief.

It does not matter your age for you have much time left.

It does not matter your past for God has already forgiven it.

It does not matter what you know or what you don’t.

For it is all about Him and what truly matters.

It does matter what you do with this gift.

It does matter where you spend the rest of your life.

It does matter for all those around you friends and family alike, what you do from now forward

For there will be many who never know Christ unless you tell them.

I am so very proud of you and that God has chosen you, His vessel, to fulfill His destiny for your life.

A journey that will last a lifetime and we get to spend it with you here and in the streets of gold in heaven.

In the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ,

Alpharetta/Roswell/Forsyth CPA… Finding, Hiring and Consulting with a Good CPA

Before I moved from Duluth I had lived in the Lilburn area and was intimately involved during that time with the Lilburn Business Association. Also having had my own CPA firm for over 22 years and having been a CPA for 30 plus years I have seen what makes business work and what makes a business fail. Perhaps there is not greater example of this than in the contracting business/industry.

At present we have clients we have long been involved in the contracting/construction industry and the tried and tested methods that worked before still work today.

Finding, Hiring and Consulting with a Good CPA

CPA Consults. With thousands of CPA’s in Atlanta to choose from, it’s difficult for business owners to find the one who is best suited for their needs. Having been a CPA for almost three decades, you soon discover that CPA’s like doctors and lawyers are not all alike and that each one has their own particular set of nuances, training, experience and specialties. Just as finding the right doctor when you are having chest pains, it is equally as critical to your business success to find a CPA to fill in the financial gaps that many business owners lack.

Atlanta CPA….Advising America’s Taxpayers IRS’s Current Not Collectible Status

Atlanta CPA….Advising America’s Taxpayers IRS’s Current Not Collectible Status

Having the IRS classify you as CNC/Currently Not Collectible Status can/might make your long term solution worse as:

-The Problem is deferred by placing you in CNC status, not resolved.
-The Opportunity for your financial situation to improve would do much to jeopardize your ability to have the best financial situation/best opportunity to have the lowest possible settlement in the even we were able to successfully negotiate an Offer in Compromise.

Addressing Back Taxes/IRS Tax Representation Issues Successfully requires more than one might think including: A CPA who is well versed in tax representation issues and a proven track record of success. Several face to face meetings with each and every client combing over the facts in great detail. Most involve taking the case up to IRS Appeals, Intense Negotiations and a Dogmatic Zeal for Success and Excellence. A Willingness to Provide Full and Complete Documentation that the IRS Requests. A Imaginativeness and Ability to Think Outside the Box to Consistently Work Towards Successful Resolution. A Refusal To Focus On the Past But a Bent Towards a Positive Future. Both a Technical Grasp and Judicious Discernment Towards the Successful Understanding & Application of Tax Law.

I believe it would simply be…

A Cross…

Nothing Else…

But a Cross….

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Is God Speaking To You…

Have You Heard Him..

Though He will always stand at the door and knock….

We have to open the door..

To a better life….

With Him…

Choose Today to Who You Will Serve…

For No One Can Serve Two Masters…

The Path is Narrow…

But all who choose…

Wisely…

Will be with him in Heaven…

Forever!!!

Alpharetta/Lawrenceville/Norcross CPA…Talking With the Words of Christ

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Alpharetta/Lawrenceville/Norcross CPA…Talking With the Words of Christ

Think about how often does our mouth get us into trouble? There are so many warnings throughout Scripture about our tongue and the power it has. Proverbs 10:19 even says, “Where words are many, sin is not absent!” Can you think of a time you regretted something you said or the way you said it? Was it recently? James tells us to tame our tongues. Is your tongue tamed yet or do you need a tone check? May we be people of fewer words, Christians who think before we speak, and make sure our words are always filled with grace and seasoned with salt! Remember, we are supposed to be the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13)…are we being the salt with our words…all the time???

We got a new container last week and are now moving forward with the fellowship hall renovations. The kitchen and walk-in cooler have been such a blessing and we know that God is not through here yet! Thank you for each of you that prayed for us or partnered with us last week. We don’t get a chance to thank everyone in person but we are grateful for you! Please continue to lift us up in prayer. We have had a lot of transition lately in the ministry and God continues to bring new souls to us and entrusts us to teach them the Word and love them with the love of Christ. We get each person for a season, whether that season is 5 minutes under a bridge or 5 years here at the Garden, our job is to not compromise on the Truth. Because of that, people’s lives are being transformed, bonds are being broken, and Christ is making disciples around Atlanta and the world! Know that we covet your prayers greatly and could not do it without you.

Coming up, we are hosting a “Blessed to be a Blessing” concert on Saturday October 15th at 7pm. We are asking people to bring tennis shoes, hats, gloves, scarfs, socks, etc. for those who live out on the streets. Please join us for a great night of worship and fellowship as we celebrate Him and His goodness! Then on Sunday, October 30, we are having our second annual “Trunk-or-Treat” event at 7pm for the kids at the Garden. We are asking people to come and park and allow the kids to collect candy from you, your family, and your trunk! Come join us for that if you are able! More details will come on that later too.
Have a blessed and highly favored week! Lord willing, we will have another update next week!

GO JESUS GO JESUS GO! LOVE, 7
