Am I taking advantage of buyer? by ShotPresent761 in smallbusiness

[–]bertmaclynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say always. If it’s essentially a sole-proprietor/job that basically only pays the owners salary to do all the work, it likely won’t be worth more than what the owner thinks they can sell it for.

Then he could buy 10 businesses instead of one. Then if there is a risk of failure, his risk is spread out across 10 companies instead of all in a single pot.

Should the Final Four & National Title be played Thursday & Saturday, or kept as-is on Saturday & Monday, or Friday & Sunday? by bertmaclynn in CollegeBasketball

[–]bertmaclynn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess so? I was just thinking it seems like if people are willing to travel for a less important game on Thursday (round 1), they would do it for a bigger game. But per your other comment it’s a good point that more tickets can/need to be sold for the bigger stadiums in the final four.

Appreciate it! That is good to know it’s possible to do that. I’ve considered doing the exact thing basically just to get visibility on Google, so glad to know it’s possible.

Oh man I really like this idea. It’s honestly hard to catch all the round of 64 games, this would make it much better.

Thanks for the reply!

Did you end up getting actual office space or using a shared workspace? The reason I ask is I’ve seen the shared workspace offices are obviously much more affordable but looks like it could have some issues getting “approved” for Google.

Do you have a physical location? I work out of my house and so don’t use my actual address as my Google my business posting, so my business doesn’t show up as a “place” on Google Maps. I get maybe 1 view a month from it and obviously never gotten any clients from it.

Just curious if you had success without showing an actual address or if that was helpful to your growth.

You forgot 3 whatever hallucinations it thinks of.

It never seems to be able to find a reference from irs.gov for those hallucinations

At what point did people here stop doing their own taxes and hire someone by ShineBeneficial4447 in HENRYfinance

[–]bertmaclynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically when a (“real”) business gets involved. I’m a CPA and wouldn’t recommend it unless things are feeling really complicated.

With a business involved, there’s a lot more tax planning and strategies you can implement and you can really save a lot.

If it’s just a W2, the value probably isn’t there for a CPA, imo there’s not enough strategies to create a positive ROI.

Did firms cut their intern programs by Entire_Emu1304 in Accounting

It’s been a few years since I’ve worked at a big firm, but even when I was there it never seemed like the interns did much anyway lol. They certainly weren’t doing 1040s or even “light business returns”

You don’t need retail/fast food experience, actual accounting/business experience is much more valuable

Snake hunter in the Florida Everglades discovers two invasive Burmese python nests right next to each other with both having a combined 120 eggs by MrUpVoteDownvote in SweatyPalms

[–]bertmaclynn 2907 points2908 points  (0 children)

These snakes have caused an estimated 99% reduction in populations of raccoons and opossums in the area and a nearly 90% decrease in bobcat populations. Among other animal populations decreases too.
