Need a Loan…Get a Loan.

Make no mistake about it, banks want to give out loans - on THEIR terms!  To get a bank loan in the Las Vegas area you will need to prepare a financial statement first.  You may be great at it, but a certified public accountant is better.  This is something that they do for a living, crunching the numbers and eliminating the emotion.

Here are some of the things that a CPA will do –


1.  Gather all the documentation that is necessary
2.  Carefully review financial data for errors
3.  Recording and adjusting journal entries
4.  Draft a final statement complete with notes

Now you can walk into your favorite local bank with confidence!  That may not be something you could have done without the help of a professional.  One of the very best certified public accountants in the business is right here in Northwest Las Vegas.  His name is Michael Mathews.  Make an appointment at his office at 2620 Regatta Dr. Suite 102 by calling (702) 240-5237.

Ahhh…Another Tax Season is Behind Us!

Of course, many people only visit their accountant once a year.  Business owners, however, generally speak with their tax professional much more.  So how does an individual investor weave through the maze of deductions and create a tax plan?  It should start with having an open and comfortable relationship with your CPA.

Here are some things you can do in May and beyond –

1.  Talk to your accountant about your financial hopes and dreams.
2.  Ask them if you have taken all deductions into consideration.
3.  You should ask about retirement plans…especially if you are self-employed.
4.  Should you consider converting a traditional IRA to a Roth?
5.  What about giving gifts to family members?

It is just the beginning of the dialogue that you should be having with your CPA during the “off-season”.  In Las Vegas, many entrepreneurs count on the knowledge and expertise of CPA Michael Mathews who serves the Las Vegas area from his office located at 2620 Regatta Dr. Suite 102.  This is a great time of year to call him at (702) 240-5237.
