    2. Childcare
    3. Music lessons
    4. Editing papers
    5. Web design
    6. Bookkeeping
    7. Event planner
    8. Virtual assistant
    9. Writer/Author
    10. Cook/Baker

  • Thanks for visiting!

    This website has a new look! Thanks to Kelly from FreshNets.com for the upgrade.

    I have so much going on:

    books I’m in the process of writing (Micro Business for Teens series),

    classes I am teaching (personal finance for high school students and Micro Business for Teens at two local homeschool groups)

    blogs I write (Homeschool CPA.com and MicroBusinessForTeens.com)

    nonprofits I am helping with 501c3 tax exempt status and annual information return filing

    webinars I give (upcoming is Fundraising for Homeschool Groups on Nov 30, 2010)

    I wanted a site where I could gather all the things a busy CPA, author, advisor and homeschool speaker does in one place.

    Take some time and browse around. Drop me a comment or email if you find a broken link or dead end.
