Duluth CPA Asks...Can't Get Your Finances Together?

Can't Figure Out Where Your Money is Going?

Can't Get Your Finances Together?

Does Your Money Situation Appear to be the Size of an Elephant?

Eating an elephant CAN be done...one bite at a time.

Working diligently and methodically is essential to making your money work for you.

You have to control it. Not the other way around.

The below is a sample letter we might send to a client to assist and guide them in addressing money/cash flow needs.

Do You Control Money or Does it Control You?

When trying to address the question, "where did the money go" the best place to look is at your Profit and Loss statement and look hard at all of the expenses and the revenue and to see if they are wrong. If they are wrong then we can correct them.

The second place to look is in your personal checkbook by listing where you are presently spending all of your money breaking out the last six months of expenses by category.

After you have done this then the where the money is going and what the tax bill is question will be better revealed.

Most all Americans, us included, spend smaller amounts in the 20 to 120 range but we do it so often that we can't afford some of the other things in life.

Perimeter Church is hosting Dave Ramsey with one of his Financial Peace Classes.

I have sent others before and know many who have went and it has dramatically changed everything.

I highly recommend you go http://www.perimeter.org/financialpeace I believe if you go it will do much to change everything you see and know about money.

When working out of a hole sometimes it seems to get worse before it gets better and it probably truly does for we have to address the past bills and to get all of them current first.

Christian Money Management starts by being informed, then by being accountable, and then by being proactive.

If you cannot attend the seminar in Atlanta work to get your local church to invite Mr. Ramsey to your town.
