Samarak Launches New CFO Services Website
Samarak is splitting into two companies, one of which is an internet company which helps accountants, bookkeepers and QuickBooks consultants obtain business over the web and the other of which provides CFO Services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the US. As such, we have launched a new website for the CFO Services side of Samarak and have removed the CFO Services content from www.samarak.com.
Directories Now Have City Pages
Samarak has offered a directory of local bookkeepers since 2006.�In 2007�we added a directory of accountants and a directory of QuickBooks experts. We also added city pages to all of the directories. The purpose of these pages is to make it easier to find local accountants, bookkeepers and QuickBooks consultants in each directory. Easy to use, inexpensive directories are a key part of our goal of helping financial professionals, including accountants, bookkeepers, QuickBooks consultants, and part-time CFOs and controllers, obtain business over the web. If you haven't looked at our directories before, take a look and, if you are a financial professional, consider listing your company.
Home Office Deductions: Expenses That May Be Deducted
If you use part of your home for business, then you might qualify for a home office deduction. For some questions designed to help you determine if you qualify, see my previous blog titled Home Office Deductions: Do You Qualify. If you do qualify, then you may deduct portions of the following home expenses:
- real estate taxes
- mortgage interest
- rent
- utilities
- insurance
- painting and repairs
- security system
- depreciation�
- divide the square footage of your office space by the square footage of your house�to obtain the�percent of your house which�your office space accounts for, and then multiply this percent by your expenses, or
- if the rooms in your house are all approximately equal in size, then simply divide the number of rooms used for your business by the number of rooms in your house.
New Blog for Small Businesses to Focus on Finance, Operations, HR, QuickBooks, Excel, etc.
We recently decided to add blogs to our site as a means of addressing some of the issues our customers deal with on a regular basis. Since our customers are financial professionals serving mostly small and medium sized businesses, you can expect blogs about the finance, operations and human resources issues that most small businesses deal with. In addition, I am a long-time user of QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel, so you will see a lot of blogs about how to do things in QuickBooks, why and how QuickBooks can make your life easier, how to view and manipulate your QuickBooks data in Excel, and the like.
