Seven Reasons To Consider Working At A Small CPA Firm

Over the past twenty years, I've written a series of books about using computers for business applications (like accounting) and for personal financial management. I've also written several dozen edocuments that discuss how to form limited liability companies and how to set up S corporations.

The list that follows identifies almost all of these publications. Note that some of the books are out-of-print, but many are available at your local bookstore and most are available at one of the online bookstores (like Amazon.com).
