We bought a lovely whiteboard several weeks ago @heidi #56015 but haven't been able to hang it. We're using it uncomfortably now, as @terry demonstrates. We need a board to hang it with - the one that came with it is a little fragile and a little short to do the job effectively.

We need a piece of 1/2" plywood that is 5' 6" long, 6" wide and has a 45 degree angle on one of the long edges. The whiteboard case weighs about 150 lbs. We have a drill, appropriate drill bits, bolts, and muscle for lifting. Can anyone help?

Things are hopping here at Allen Street Consulting, lots of neat clients seeking to change, improve, or streamline their internal financial and administrative processes. @terry is visiting a client while I study for the PA bar exam. He leaves his desk very neat every night, which reflects his overall preference for order. This is a huge benefit for clients: he helps them create reliable, safe structure and order from their current choas and discombobulation.

Allen Street Consulting is happy to offer income tax preparation and e-filing. We support all states and can process individual, partnership and S-Corporation returns. We offer highly competitive rates so call us to schedule an appointment now. We’re located in the heart of downtown Buffalo and adjacent to Roswell Park and the medical corridor. All levels of complexity are welcome: families, students, H-1 visas, self-employed, small businesses and nonprofits. We are prepared and excited to handle the new tax laws affecting married same-sex couples.

We have a minimum fee of $35 for the simplest of returns: W-2s, no dependents or mortgage. Most individual returns are priced under $100. Call to get your rate now.

We are IRS authorized e-file providers.

ENROLLED AGENT TERRY MICKELSON



@terry received his Enrolled Agent status from the Internal Revenue Service today! That means he has the same power to represent clients in front of the IRS that a lawyer or CPA does. Now he holds the following credentials:

• Enrolled Agent
• Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certification
• QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certification 2010-2012
• QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions Certification

We got some new plants for the office today and repotted the ones we got when we moved in.

WE ARE NOW A PARTNERSHIP!

It is official! As of January 3, 2012, I joined Allen Street Consulting as a partner with Heidi. I have 10 years experience with the IRS, Advanced and Enterprise Certifications as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, as well as a bachelor’s degree in music from Northern Arizona University. I expect to receive enrolled agent status with the IRS shortly.

After years of dealing with understandably confused and often irate taxpayers, I’m ready to switch to using my skills and knowledge to help taxpayers deal with scary notices and confusing tax forms. I am looking forward to helping new and existing clients understand the tax consequences of business and personal financial decisions.

We are excited to begin the 2012 income tax filing season, so give us a call at 716-218-0654 so we can talk about your tax situation. We can file all individual (1040) returns as well as partnership (1065) and S-Corporations (1120S) returns. While our main focus is in New York and Pennsylvania, we are happy to consult with clients from other states as well.
