Want to Serve God on a Mission Trip & Short on Money? 

Maybe God is Calling You to Serve With us on Our Mission Trip in just a few weeks. 

Have Time on Your Hands but Not Enough Cash to Go on a Mission Trip? 

Though Many Mission Trips are a $1000 for a full week, this opportunity may be just for you. 

We have been going out to serve the Navajo people in New Mexico for five years and this year we are looking for someone to share the driving responsibilities as we travel from Atlanta to Pueblo Pintado, New Mexico. Vehicle and trailer are scheduled to leave Duluth GA on July 6th traveling to New Mexico (a 2-3 day trip). Your gas and vehicle will be paid for…all you have to do is to bring eating money, but you were going to be eating anyway so it truly will be mostly all free. 

You will be there for a full week and then returning to Atlanta approximately July 19th.

I am excited to see what God will do to and through us in the desert of New Mexico.

To get a feel for our work on the Mission Field in Pueblo Pintado NM might I invite you to watch our video at http://bit.ly/QS0V9 If you listen and watch with an open heart, it will change your world. To gain a glimpse of our vision visit or if your church wants to get involved with our work visit   http://www.hiscpa.com/blog/2009/07/30/casting-a-vision-navajo-family-missions-taking-christianity-into-the-world/

Atlanta CPA…Gotten Behind on Your Taxes?

Is Your CPA Helping You to Keep Your Tax Bill as Low as Legally Possible?

As a Faith Based Christian CPA Firm we seek to address the business and planning tax issues of not only your company but also your personal finances. The below is a sample letter we might send to a taxpayer to assist in tax mitigation and tax planning:

As both the IRS and GA are a pay as you go system and now you have incorporated I suggest that we: 

Track your net profits from the beginning of the year until you started using your incorporation. Please use the checklist and perhaps the form on the contact page of my website to forward the net profit for your proprietorship this year as you should now be using your new corporation from now forward. 

Please forward to me what: 

You have paid so far in 2011 Estimated Tax Payments to both the IRS & GA. 

What you anticipate the gross wages and federal and state withholding to be on your husband’s wages. 

Please let me know what your net income you anticipate will be on your business so that I advise you what to tell the payroll service to withhold from your paycheck out of the business so that you will no longer do estimated payments, but pay all of your income taxes via payroll withholding. 

Please let me know of any substantive changes you are anticipating from your 2010 to 2011 personal taxes. 

ASAP after I get the above I will do tax planning on accordingly. 

I suggest that we meet soon along with a financial planner to get started in setting up a retirement plan for your business.

Is it time to upgrade your CPA today to someone who seeks to serve Christ in all that they do?

Hi John. It’s been a while since we last spoke. You mentioned that you could provide me with assistance in devising a tax strategy. I’d like to put together a plan to reduce our tax liability and I’m thinking about purchasing or renting a piece of property as one option. A gentleman banker (whose name is escaping me at the moment) over at RBC in Lawrenceville referred me to you sometime last Fall I believe. We spoke on an occasion or two. You have posted a few of my articles on nonprofit organizations.

Do you have availability next week? What is your consult fee?

Below is my response:

Our Initial consult is free and I would be happy to meet. 

I suggest bringing along to the meeting a copy of your last corporate and personal income tax return, your incorporation papers and a list of any questions you might have.

Does Your CPA Seek Every Effort  to Work With and Not Against You? 

Is Your CPA Accessible and Proactive? 

Does Your CPA Return Your Calls?

Does Your CPA Initiate and Remind You of the Work to be Done? 

At His CPA PC we know you are made in the very image of God and we do everything we can to serve Him the best way we can. The below is a sample letter we might send to a client to work with them in any way that makes sense:

Did not hear from you so….please call me at your earliest convenience so that we might see how best we can work together. 

The retainer was solely and idea to help you cash flow some of the initial volume of work to be done. 

Please note that only a $1000 initial retainer was billed and not the $2K, that was just a suggestion due to volume of work. 

Please call me at your earliest convenience so that we might see how best we can work together.

When Doors Close, God Opens a Window. 

Do you see others the way God Does? 

Are you an Encourager or Do Others Walk Away When they See You Coming? 

At His CPA PC, we believe that God made you to be so much more than just a student, employee, child, mother, father, husband or wife, but indeed has a great calling on you and your life. 

If you let Him, He will guide and protect your steps. Seek Him with all that you do with all of your soul and might. 

Though at times it seems like God is closing a door, He is most frequently guiding and directing you to something much greater still. The below is a note we might send to a member of the Body of Christ to encourage them in the spirit and heart of Jesus Christ: 

Your family will be completely missed. Your efforts and hard work last year in missions will do much to impact the lives of generations to come and will live forever in the Book of Life. His Book, the only one and true God. 

I invite you to look at this as a door opening and not a door closing there is much to do in the pursuit of service whether you are supporting one of the local Co-ps, Salt and Light, the Dream House, Pastor 7 and as you well know much more. 

I often feel that God just wants just to adapt the Nike motto in our service, Just Do IT, for it is in our obedience, not so much in how we are obedient, but actually in the doing that His will, His heart and His blessings are abundantly released in our life. 

I pray that God meets you in the upcoming days speaking to your boldly about His will, His destiny and His call on your life. You will all be greatly missed. 

In the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ,

Does Your CPA Check Every Detail…Looking For Every Legal Deduction? 

At His CPA PC, we do not believe “the devil is in the details” but we do believe that every legal nook and cranny should be evaluated to ensure that every legal deduction is claimed. The below is  a sample letter we might send a client to ensure every option is properly evaluated: 

If you have already incorporated the S election might be with your incorporation papers. Please send me a copy of these along with your EIN. 

If you have not yet incorporated you are not an S corporation and you will need to incorporate first.   

If you have Incorporated call the IRS general info. number (get from information) ask. If you do not yet have a written confirmation please be sure to ask them to send you one. 

For the returns…please forward everyone in your families birth-date and middle initial. 

Please confirm if the address is still correct.

Are You Mature in Your Faith? 

When you do something always it most always works…. 

When you do something from time to time it almost never works. 

I pray that you find that point in time that you chose to draw a line in the sand and…. 

Step away from all problems….choosing never to go back to them again…. 

& Pour God into your life always and all days…. 

You alone have to chose and you alone will decide and you alone will either reap the rewards or consequences….

1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 

As for me and my life, I belong to Christ alone!!! 

I pray that you begin to see yourself as a child of God and one who is made in His image and that you walk from all those who would lead you astray. 

God does not expect us to be perfect but He does expect us to put forth due effort and it is in that efforts of overcoming trial, reading His word and becoming like Him that He will rise us up at the appointed time.

Christian CPA: Get the New Year Started Off  Right 

Serving the Lost, the Last and the Least 

We pray this email finds you well and rejoicing in our Lord! We sit here, looking at the snow-covered ground, and we pray for our brothers and sisters in the city today who do not have a warm place to sleep tonight.  We pray that God will be their consuming fire as His Word tells us in Hebrews 12.  Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, Mt. Bethel United Methodist will open up their gym again for an emergency shelter. Please join us in praying for blessings over Mt. Bethel as they bring Isaiah 58:6-8 alive and also for  those who are rescued that they will see the love of Jesus. Pray for those who remain on the streets that God will meet them where they are at.   May nothing be done in our own strength but only in the strength and power from God. 

We had another powerful week at 7 Bridges. Pastor Edward was blessed in being able to visit South Carolina for a vacation with his family. The Harvesters from Due West United Methodist continued the last of the construction for the upstairs dorm. By the end of this week, we are hoping to have a cubicle for every single lady and a classroom for the children finished upstairs! Praise God for His great provision! This ministry has come so far in the past four years the Garden has been running and we look forward to what God is going to do this year- far more than anything we could ever ask or imagine!  This weekend, we will be joined by 50 boy scouts and their leaders as they come to experience the mission fields of Atlanta.  Pray that God will transform their hearts as they impact the lives of the homeless in Atlanta. 

We mentioned last week that Jody Ray from Mt. Bethel United Methodist was starting a service on Fridays at 6:30 here at the Garden and all are invited to attend. It will be held every other Friday and consists of worship, the Word, prayer and fellowship.  The play titled “Addictions- No One Knows But Me” is the end of this month. We attached a flier for more information and recommend seeing it. Proceeds of the ticket sales will benefit the ministry. 

May we all be challenged this week to see if we are living comfortably in our own strength or living desperately in the strength of the Only One who can provide for our needs.  Remember, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in each of us and we can do ALL things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us!  Have a blessed and highly favored week!  GO JESUS GO JESUS GO!  LOVE,  PASTOR 7 

Pastor 7 with 7 Bridges to Recovery is doing great things to Feed the Homeless of Atlanta while spreading the word of God. I suggest you go down and see what he is doing on the weekends to take the message to the streets of Atlanta. I believe he would be a great speaker to the whole congregation and Discipleship Groups as people are looking for opportunities to get real with their faith by being the very Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ. You can read about his Ministry at http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html   We are actively involved in going and supporting Pastor 7 and the great work he is doing to Serve the Lost, the Last & the Least. If a video is worth a thousand words these will indeed be priceless http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsEGkj30R5Y&feature=related
