The Grumpy Accountant

Neal Winokur

Maison d'édition: Neal Winokur

Synopsis

An entertaining and easy-to-read book about a practical blueprint to simplify Canada's horribly frustratingly overly complicated tax system. The author shares his frustration with a wildly inefficient, impossibly complex and heartlessly impersonal bureaucracy that routinely ensares honest, hard-working people in its labyrinthine maze. The Grumpy Accountant tells the story of Jerry, a typical Canadian, and George, his trusted grumpy accountant, who guides him through the tax system at every stage in life. 
 
The Grumpy Accountant offers 29 critical tax tips for navigating the current broken system, including:-How to avoid common mistakes that invite CRA scrutiny-How to maximize the tax credits, deductions and benefits that you're entitled to-Tax saving strategies for every stage in life: college/university, employment/self-employment, marriage, kids, entrepreneurship, and retirement-How to use online tools to keep organized and stay ahead of the game 
"The clear reasoning, trenchant analysis and solid advice in The Grumpy Accountant should shape an aggressive tax reform agenda for Canada, and the sooner the better!" 
-Hugh Segal, Mathews Fellow in Global Public Policy, Queen's University 
  
"The Grumpy Accountant accomplishes an almost unimaginable literary feat: it's funny and it explains the Canadian tax system. Yes, there are real-life tax tips. And yes, there are intriguing tax policy ideas. But best of all, it's packed with hilarity as characters bumble through Canada's maze of tax regulations and provoke searing satiricial rants from the grumpy accountant. It's like watching a hit sitcom that'll get you a bigger tax refund." 
-Scott Hennig, President & CEO, Canadian Taxpayers Federation 
  
"This book is for all Canadian taxpayers who 'don't know what they don't know' about our tax system. The 29 tips in the book will help you save taxes and avoid costly mistakes. I am going to insist that my kids read it, but since they are Seinfeld fans, it won't be a hard sell (special Easter eggs throughout the book for Seinfeld fans!)" 
-Robin Taub, CPA, CA, Speaker and Author of The Wisest Investment 
  
"It is not easy to find a book on taxation that is fun to read as well as education. The Grumpy Accountant is the story about how an accountant tried to explain a very complicated personal tax system to a hard working individual who understandbly has no clue about taxes except that they are deducted from his paycheque. The argument that the personal tax could be simplified by eliminating special deductions and credits resulting in a substantial reduction in the tax rates is one we have heard before but hopefully Winokur's book will make the persuasive case." 
-Jack M. Mintz, C.M., President's Fellow, School of Public Policy, University of Calgary

How to find customers -...

Tony White

Vol 1This book will teach you new techniques and strategies in the world of betting… Since clients are the soul of any kind of business. Without the clients, there is no way you can keep the lights on. In the most recent decades, governments have concentrated their endeavors towards advancing the financial development from inside, empowering the beginning of new enterprises and helping the little and medium-sized enterprises to develop.
Vol 2Depending on only a couple of clients can leave you susceptible - shedding just one can suggest a cash flow situation. By regularly making an initiative to generate a brand-new organization, you'll minimize your risk of failure and expand your company in a lasting method. Something I've noticed recently is that everyone is speaking about making a company and its marketing "customer-centered." When you get right down to it, not all that lots of brands are actually doing it. It's a great chance for a brand to outshine the competitors as well as achieve ever-higher degrees of success. 81% of businesses that supply wonderful client experiences and also client fulfillment do a lot better than their rivals, according to the 2009 "Customer Experience Maturity Monitor" report from the Peppers & Rogers Group. Smart local business owner understands that every consumer connection shed, either to a competitor or otherwise, costs them an average of $289 yearly. As well as if you're believing you can simply make up for that cost with brand-new customers, think again. Ends up, it costs six to seven times even more to obtain a brand-new client than it does to preserve an existing one.
