Unless you're a one-person-shop small-town business or professional, chances are you employ a bookkeeper or have an accountant helping you or doing your books and financials.

Because ALL your money, your cash flow, your billings, collections, bi-monthly payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable and last but not least -your TAXES, flow through this person, it is critical that they don't just "record history" for your practice. Many Accountants are great at recording history, but few actually are experts in dealing with businesses and owners like you, helping you create wealth.

I have been having Jim as my sole and primary CPA since moving to Rockford, coming from Chicago in 1991.  He has been a great advisor to me and my family in almost all kinds of financial services that we needed.  Starting from organizing and preparing our taxes and getting us the best advice, through organizing my small business needs, from payrolls to all kinds of investment advice and strategies - which were very honest and valuable.  I will recommend Jim to almost any investment needs, individuals or small business owners.  He is honest, organized and skilled.

If you had the money, you would invest in and hire a CFO (Chief Financial Officer) that would not only make sure your check book balanced and you're collections were up to date, but who would answer tough money questions and give you STRATEGIC advice on issues like:

• How can I legally reduce my tax liability?
• How can I maximize my business cash flow?
• Should I minimize my personal practice income to pay less taxes or maximize it for retirement purposes?
• What are the best investment vehicles to build my retirement nest egg?
• Should I have a 401(k) plan for my staff? If so how do I structure it?
• I have a 401(k) plan today, am I being overcharged for fees and commissions?
• Should I continue my office lease or be looking to buy a commercial building?
• What is the real dollar value of my business in case I want to sell it one day?
• How do I financially bring on a partner or manager (or get rid of one)?
• Is the Section 179 tax deduction a good reason to buy some equipment at year end?

In August of 2007 my wife and I bought Minuteman Press from her father when he retired after 20 years as the business owner.  Before the transition even took place, we were working with Jim Tures to make sure our company was set up correctly.  Having never owned a business before, Jim was essential in making sure all the proper paperwork was on file with both state and federal agencies.  The time he spends with us made the transition go smoothly and we were ready for business on day one. After our business was set up and operating, Jim met with us to make sure that we not only had a good understanding of the accounting side of the business, but most importantly Taxes and how decisions you make affect them.  In the years we have used Tures and Associates as our accounting firm, Jim has done an excellent job in keeping up with the always changing tax laws and is quick to point out where we may have been missing out on some opportunities. Jim has always made himself available whenever questions may arise.  The professional staff is also willing to help when they have the answers.  From monthly, quarterly and annual bookwork and taxes, Tures and Associates has kept our filings accurate and on-time.  I would highly recommend their services to any business owner to make sure they are up to date with all current laws and filings. Jonathan Eppes - Minuteman Press

Unfortunately these are the questions a bookkeeper or an average public accountant won't know the answer to. Often even a good bookkeeper or accounting firm will give weak or bad advice or answers because they don't deal with business owners every day and the unique aspects of a entrepreneur.

Bad Financial Advice Can Cost You Thousands Of Dollars

The result of "bad advice" can cost you thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why? Because as a entrepreneur you require large amounts of capital to operate your business. You generate large amounts of revenue from your customers or clients. You pay yourself (and maybe your staff) healthy sums of money. 

Because there are more "zeroes" on the end of just about everything you do financially, when you do make a mistake the zeroes on the mistake are BIG TOO!  Understanding this we've built an Accounting & Tax Preparation service just for business owners that we call Virtual CFO and Tax Preparation.

As a business owner, there are so many aspects related to taxes, filing, both quarterly and annually that I am not familiar with.  Jim knows exactly what to do, and either advises me, or just handles it for me.  What a relief.  The real bonus is, I've never had any unwanted "surprises" come April 15th.

Are You Getting "Nickel And Dimed" For Every Question & Call You Make?

Inmost accounting and CPA firms when you call up to ask questions of any length, the clock starts running. People often complain they are"nickel and dimed" by their CPA. That's how they make their money.

But with Tures and Associates you don't have to worry about picking up the phone, sending us an email or a fax -- and then getting billed EXTRA for a consultation call or meeting.

So if you feel like you're not getting any or good financial advice from your current accountant, or your CPA is not the financial expert you thought he or she was, or you have a tax dilemma, or you feel you can get better advice, tax work AND save money at the same time, then give me a call, Jim Tures at 815-394-1040.

And in case you have a question on our pricing, again it is $6,000 per year (paid monthly) for balancing your books each month, completing your annual corporate AND personal tax return, generating the annual financial statement for your dental practice.
