Like many couples my wife and I have come to a point in our marriage where we needed the help of a professional. We needed counseling, we tried to work it out ourselves, but this just could not be worked out on our own. We needed to seek out a professional. A tax professional that is, we needed tax counseling.
Over the past few years my wife and I have gone back and forth over which one of us would do our taxes. My wife liked it best when she did them even though I thought she might have missed something, so then the following year I would do them. Every year it seems that doing taxes gets a little harder, either a change in the laws or a change in our circumstances, we just could not keep up.
So for the sake of our marriage and our finances we sought out a local tax solution. American Eagle Tax & Accounting which is run by the very professional Jennifer Verhey, was our choice out of the plethora of competent options here in Wheat Ridge. From the very start Jennifer was able to get our returns done quickly and competently. She even took the time to give us some tips, pointers, and suggestions about how to reduce our tax liability for next year.
She was able to sort through all of our finances and give us a roadmap to how best to approach our taxes next year, it was really above and beyond what we had expected. The best part of it was that my wife and I both walked away from the experience with our marriage intact and without the frustrations that usually accompanies tax season. If you are looking for an accountant for your small business or to save your marriage from the frustrations of paying taxes, this is the place to go.
In my spare time I have taken up the volunteer role as advertising and marketing manager for the Saints Peter and Paul Parish Festival. I will discuss this in greater detail in my next column, but I wanted to make sure you have this on your calendar. On June 29th, June 30th and July 1st we will be hosting a community festival and all are welcome to attend. In connection with the festival we will even be holding a Car Show, so all you gearheads, get ready to show off your pride and joy. This should be a great time for all, we even have our local MyPie pizza coming to the festival, so you know there will be good food.
Speaking of MyPie, this small business just keeps growing and doing great things in the community, and for all their generosity and sound business practices, they have just won the 2012 Ethics in Business Award Sponsored by the Golden Rotary. That is great news! Keep up the great work, and keep making the great pies.
