April 2018 News
April has been an exciting month for us. We were recognized by the Rockville Mayor, Rockville Chamber of Commerce and Rockville Economic Development, Inc. for 2018 Business Appreciation Week. This is when a select number of businesses are recognized for supporting the economy, job growth and helping to make Rockville, Maryland a great place to live and work.

During April we also launched our company Facebook page. If you have not had a chance to see our page click here. Be sure to like our page while you visit. All of our newsletters and FAQ posts have been added to our website. Check our new page out here.

I am heading to Texas in May for my first board meeting of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Joint Trial Board. I am excited to be appointed to this prestigious board and am looking forward to meeting the other board members that are all CPA's from across the country. I'll share more in next month's newsletter.

This month our first article is about the importance of small businesses using a budget for financial insight. If the thought of creating a budget is too overwhelming for some, we give tips on "Chunking it Down" to small tasks. Our articles of interest include 2018 tax return filing statistics and Earth Day. Have you ever wondered how many tax returns are filed during any given week and why do we celebrate Earth Day?

Sharon
