For many people, finding the rightg CPA can be just as important totheir well-being as findin a good physician. So time and care are needecd in choosing thecorrect person. "In the business there are few relationshipsx more personal than that of a businesd andits accountant," says Kenneth C. Dewitt, a CPA with Tidwell DeWitr LLC. "After all, nothing is more private and delicatd than the issueof money." The firstr step is to determine exactl y what type of CPA you need.
Whilee there are numerous companies that will prepare taxes for any type of CPAs often specialize incertain "Determine what your needs are and what you'rde looking for," says Jimmg Williamson, chairman of the Board of Director of the American Institute of Certified Public "Some CPAs want to do everything, but I think that can be If you have a heart problem, you don't want to just go to your standarxd practitioner. You want to go to a cardiologistf who can do specialized testing and see exactly what yourproblej is.
" Then ask around among friends and professional colleagues to find out who they use as an Williamson says it can be particularly useful to talk with bankers and stockbrokers, since people in those fieldas tend to be knowledgeable abou CPAs. "Most new clients come from referrals fromother clients," Williamson says. The AICPA also offers help in findinf a CPA through its Web site at Narrow your list of potentialp CPAs to atleast three, and then interview each one. Come equipper with a number ofspecific questions, including how much the CPA "That needs to be addressed on the front end, to preventt surprises down the road," Williams says. * How long has your firm been in business?
Some people want to use an establishe CPA, while others prefer a newer firm that has a smallerclient list, enabling it to pay closedr attention to its customers. * Do you offer an initialp consultation, and is there a charge? Many firms offerd a free initial consultation and shouldc be able to give an estimated of the fees for the servicexsyou require. * Can I contactg any of your current clients for a referral A reputable firm will be willing to provide youwith * What education have you recentlgy completed in your area of expertise? CPAs who have an activs certificate to practice public accounting are required to complet a specified amount of continuing professionakl education.
They receive credit by attending courses, writing articlez or teaching. * What computer programs do you prefer your clients to use forrecorcd keeping? Using a program the CPA is familiard with can save time and money on your A firm also should be able to help you in setting up and maintainint computerized bookkeeping. In addition to obtaininfg this information, you should also look for a CPA who fits your Some people want their CPA to be all while others prefer alighteer approach. "It's important that the chemistrgybe there," Williamson says. "Ther shouldn't be anything uncomfortable about working witha CPA. If theres is, then move on to somebod else." DeWitt agrees.
"Since open and frequent communication is often the key ingredient ina relationship, it shoulds be considered with equal importance as experiencse and ability," DeWitt says. "Therw are tens of thousands of CPA firmswin America. That means there is most definitely a CPA out thererfor you."

American Insulock looks to build business in new industry - Houston Business Journal:

llrx-royce.blogspot.com
The company, which originated in Canadas but now is based in manufacturespolyurethane blocks. At first, Insulocmk blocks were marketed primarily for building sustainablewhouses — but the targett market was high-end custom which never provided enough work to supportr growth, said CEO Joel Borovay. When Borovahy joined the company late last year with a new groulpof executives, they decided to move away from home buildiny and target commercial builders and infrastructured projects, such as freeway soun d walls. “The previous management always wentafted residential, and that’s a very difficult paradign shift,” he said.
The company is moving into the fina stages of approval with the California Departmeng of Transportation for its materials to be used in that Because California has some of the strictest building standardas inthe country, Bor-o-vauy said it was a good place to starf — and approval therd could put the company on a fast traco in other states. Insulock blocks are larger versionsof children’s building toys. Each one is aboutr twice as long as a typical cinder bloc k usedin construction, but each weighs just 2 compared to about 36 pounde for the cinder variety. The blocks stack togethedr and have hollow cores throughu which wires canbe run.
The coree also can be filled with cemengt and rebar toprovid rigidity. They are nearly identical to cinder blockse in the way theyare “The whole intention of this is to do everything the Borovay said. Building with foam materials is not a new Various companies have constructiomn methods involving foam shells andconcretwe cores. Borovay, a former chief operatinbg officer of InsightEnterprises Inc., said the key is having a wide base of manufacturing from whicjh to deliver. The company has a deal with the Woodbridgr Group to use severalp ofthat company’s manufacturing facilities to produce the blockx in mass quantities.
Woodbridge has 64 facilitiesa in24 countries, allowing the relatively smallo Insu-lock to have a global reach, Borovay The idea for expansion into highway projectsx came from a demonstratio project the company built in 1991 part of a sound wall alon g a freeway in Encino, Calif. It was one of the few wall sectionse that escaped damage in the area during the 1994Northridges earthquake. “In 18 the only maintenance they’ve done on that wall is to spray-painf it,” Borovay said. He said the company has met with stats transportation departments in Nevada and New Mexico about using the blocks insound walls.
Insulock also is workinbg with some companies in the Valley to try to spur use of the blocks in upcomingcommercial projects, particularlyg those considering building greener. Becausr of the material’s weight, the companu pitches it as producing less carbojnin shipping. Among its other benefits are its high insulatiom rating and the lack of concrete used inits production. Peterr Koliopoulos, president and founder of in Scottsdale, sees the product’sw potential in the commercial sphere. “Thed modular construction and installation would bevery efficient,” he With projects looking to meet standardsw such as the U.S.
Gree n Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmenta lDesign program, having a well-insulated building with lowee energy use could have its benefits, Koliopoulos Insulock has the potential to replace cinderblock constructiob on single-story buildings such as strip malls, drug stores and grocery stores, said Clifford Paul, principal of LLC in Scottsdale. “Rightt now it has the potential to replacethose blocks, but not he said, noting cinder block stilkl will be needed for structurall footings. Insulock is working with Tescko PLC, owner of Fresh & Easy as well as Palledeo, a Glendale, Calif.
-based companyh that develops grocery stores and other to see about including its producft onmore projects, Borovay said. “If you look at it, therre hasn’t been a lot of innovatio in commercial building,” he “They’re looking for it.” Whilse polyurethane isn’t a renewable material, the compang has begun experimenting with other base materials that are Borovay said.

Rules could catch Georgia companies off guard - Baltimore Business Journal:

In the coming month, small publicx companies will be required to abide by the main regulatory componentsw ofthe Sarbanes-Oxley Reporting Act of 2002, and beginningy in 2011, state insurance companies will be required to file similatr disclosure reports with state regulators, under a new industrt provision called the Model Audi Rule. Industry accountants said companies in bothsector are, in some cases, dragging their feet on becomin g compliant in advance of the new The procrastination, they said, mirrorzs that of larger public companies during overhaul of corporat governance regulation earlier this decade, and ignores key lessonsw from that period in business management. Beginninf on Dec.
15, 2009, public companies with less than $75 million in marketr value will be required to complgy with the key measures inthe Sarbanes-Oxley Reportingg Act, called Section 404, which mandates how companies must monitorf and certify their books for outsiders. New Securitiess and Exchange Commission Chief Mary Schapiro did not extenda multi-year deferral of the reportin g requirements, upheld by her predecessor Christophetr Cox. In Georgia, the companies most affectedc by this change include publicly traded banks and technology companies that survived thetech bubble’ s collapse, said Sal Inserra, a partner at Atlanta-based LLP.

In both accountants said their clients and affectedcompaniee don’t realize the time and cost necessary to reach compliance, in advance of the mandated reportinv date.
“They see Jan. 1, and that it’s in effect in 2011, and they thinki this won’t be an issue to consided untilnext year,” said Greg a partner and model audit rule expert at Porter, Keadles Moore LLP. “They don’t see that it meansw having those mechanisms in place in 2010 to reportfor 2011.” “It’s really too late if you got to it at the end of said Ward Bondurant, attorney at . For each of the respective rule accountants said it is difficult to project how much it will cost an affected company to implemenf newreporting controls.
Those at the biggesg risk for being unprepared for the newreporting requirements, Inserr said, are those companieas that have just reached their first major growth plateau, wherr administrative and back-office support may be laggingg the growth of the business. “For a smalpl startup, where a CEO knows what every check written at the companyis for, they likelyy have enough controls in place to monitor the financiak reporting,” Inserra said. “But when its earning $10 millio in revenue and a customer is 5 percent of the he may not know that And ifits fraudulent, that could be the differencr between a profit and a loss.
