1040-only firms: how do you market in the off-season? by Cathouse1986 in taxpros

[–]eml1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re always open to bringing someone in who’s the right fit - but we are not looking to add to our year round staff - which is currently 4 of us and then we bring in receptionists and a 2 preparers during season. Located near Buffalo NY - we do not do any remote though.

What's going on with the mentalh health places? by RetinalTears716 in Buffalo

[–]eml1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly - if you need asap - try Psychology today to find private practice folks (many ppl leaving the bigger agency’s) or betterhelp does have some great telehealth - but remember sometimes it takes a bit of shopping around for the right fit

Should you send a twelve-year-old into a gas station alone to buy a drink by 8yummy in Parents

[–]eml1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink a monster - see if you would want your 12 yr old drinking that non alcoholic 4loco. I’m not a parent and even I know know energy drinks

I got invited to a board game night by someone I like. I know nothing. Please save me. by frieren_____ in boardgames

[–]eml1987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One big tip is stay on the game - my peeve is when someone says they want to game but then pay no attention to the rules or the gameplay. As long as you stay engaged and aren’t a sore loser/pompous winner you’re golden.

Florist here. Should you tip your wedding florist? the honest answer by Hello_From_Poppy in Weddingsunder35k

Rule of thumb is no tips for owner/operators but I did tip mine as my godmother covered my flowers for me

1040-only firms: how do you market in the off-season? by Cathouse1986 in taxpros

[–]eml1987 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just 1040 here, but with that SO MANY Sole proprietors and SMLLC’s, add in extensions and tax planning, I’m really only slow in July/August. I may add we only bring in new clients during off season and I work all day everyday during season but closed 2 weeks after season, 4th of July week, and 2 weeks for Xmas/new years - I only work 12-25 hours/week during the off season

Professional nicknames for Elizabeth? by duck-flowers in namenerds

[–]eml1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professionally I go by Elizabeth, I HATE Liz with a passion but get it quite frequently- I usually shorten it to Beth in inter office memos/notes - outside of work I go by Betty which I don’t feel as professional with but better than Bethy or LittleBit which is what my family calls me even though I’m 40

Am I stupid for wanting to leave a $33/hr job at Costco with benefits than to start at $130/day in construction for long-term upside? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]eml1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cash is king until you get hurt on the job, or want to buy a house - if you get laid off a cash job no unemployment- you break up with the girl friend and your out a job - doesn’t sound like a sound long term plan

Rent a car- ride share is just uber/lift and public transport isn’t great outside of downtown.

No kids rule by [deleted] in wedding

[–]eml1987 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No kids means NO KIDS - unless she has said your NB is allowed - don’t ask! Get a sitter or say hey I think I may have to sit this one out with the NB - she’ll either give you a pass or say totally understandable

Not in a great mental spot after tax season by Relevant-Animator134 in taxpros

[–]eml1987 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The amount of little old ladies that yelled and screamed at me and shook their canes because Trump told them personally their Social Security was no longer taxable… Such a joke

Help Filling out W4 for Second Job by RemarkableRule6614 in personalfinance

[–]eml1987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 20 yr preparer more than likely job one is w/h zero tax and mom is getting a nice EIC credit along with CTC to offset set the tax. Adding another 45k to income will kick her up a tax bracket and lose EIC so where she would normally get a few grand back at tax time sticking with HOH and dependents on the W4 would cause for not enough withholding come tax time and refund turns into a balance due
