Thanks, TemekuT. Yes, I am mixing up tax preparer v.s. CPA. However, a lot of CPA (or claimed CPA) does do simple tax returns, so it does make it confusing to an outsider.
Now, since you are in this profession and live in Temecula, can you refer any CPA that is good for small business consultation? What is the fair hourly charge for the service? I did sometime running into questions that I really want to talk to an experienced CPA.
By the way, I truly admire your family gene of fiscal displine and the zeal for smart investment. My wife and I are both about your daughter’s age, and we both look up to you as an inspiration. I believe you at least had two rental properties in Temeku Hills (one bought in 1997 and the other in 2000), which serves you well. I hope the community will bring the same luck to us in our financial future.:-)
