Month: January 2015

Revelers looking to celebrate the Lunar New Year next month will find it a little easier to get to Flushing.

Not only will the MTA suspend construction work on the 7 line the weekend of the annual parade – held this year on February 21 – but the weekend prior as well. That means subway riders will have an uninterrupted ride from Times Square to Main Street.

“This is not only about cultural sensitivity, but it has an impact on our community as well,” said Assemblyman Ron Kim.

Do you think of your accountant as just someone who you send your receipts and reports to at tax time? Do you limit your contact with your accountant to a few tiresome weeks in the spring? And then wait a year to speak to them again?

If this sounds like you, you’re missing out on a big part of what your accountant can offer you and your small business.

 

Accountants can help you answer these key questions:

What is your end goal for the business?

How much growth do you want to see?

How soon do you need it to be profitable?

How much money do you need to make each year?

What role do you want to have in your business?

The most important thing to realize about being a small business owner is that going out on your own doesn’t mean being on your own. Even if you never hire an employee, that doesn’t mean you won’t be working with people along the way. You owe it to yourself and the success of your business to partner up with key professionals. One of the most important of these is a good accountant. If you share your goals and dreams for your business with them, they will provide you with the advice and plans you need to reach those goals.

Talk to an accountant who knows the landscape of Flushing, NY; an accountant who can help your business succeed.

 

Katy Starck-Monte has cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that causes frequent lung infections, difficulty breathing and other serious symptoms. Whitestone residents Monte and her husband Joe, a firefighter, are expressing their desperate need for organ donors throughout the region.

Friends of Katy started a social media campaign, #oomphforkaty, which has drawn support from people across the country including celebrities such as Kevin Bacon and Matthew Broderick. The campaign began in December to promote awareness of cystic fibrosis and organ donation as well as give Katy moral support.

The Facebook page includes a video message from “Sharknado” star Ian Ziering and pictures of Bacon and Shawn Ashmore sending support, as well as former Yankee Jonny Damon and others.

Katy has been on a waiting list for lungs since August but has not received any calls for matches.
