Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

From a new Tax Blogger:

Subject: Enjoy Your Tax Blog

Kerry,

 

I’m a long-time reader of your tax blog and more recently a subscriber via bloglines. As always, I find your content very insightful and humorous, especially regarding politicians and lobbyist. Yes, our representatives (if you want to call them that) in Washington have never met a spending bill they didn’t like. We all know that if our federal government was a private enterprise that it would be bankrupt. Oh well, I’ll get off my soapbox. I’m a CPA in Atlanta with nearly 20 years experience in both public and industry. Presently, I’m in industry. However, over the past six years, I’ve gradually established a part time tax practice of mostly individuals and a few corporate returns. I’m getting to the point of possibly making the jump to establish my practice on a dedicated full time basis. At the present, much of my development is via referrals and via my website and blog. The website is http://www.brianbrowncpa.com/ and the blog is at www.brianbrowncpa.com/blog/ I would invite you to subscribe to my feed. My posts mainly focus on tax issues with a mix of personal finance and other small business issues.

 

Some of my post that you may find insightful are as follows:

 

Who does Uncle Sam audit?

 

Organized Tax and Other Financial Records – A Guaranteed Return on Investment!!!

 

You, Inc. – Run it like a business

 

Also, I would welcome any insight into starting and growing a practice. Thanks and keep you the great service.

 

P.S. I can see that you are a Neal Boortz fan as well. As a resident of his home city, I do find him both insightful and entertaining. Glad to see that he has fans all over the country.

 

Thanks, Brian

Brian:

Thanks for the note and the info on your new blog. I checked it out and am very impressed. I did add it to my Bloglines account so that I can pick up each of your entries as they come out.

I also noticed that Kay Bell included one of your articles in her most recent Tax Carnival. That should definitely jump-start awareness of your blog and help your readership grow.

I am a big fan of fellow Libertarian Neal Boortz and hope you’ve been able to participate in his push for the FairTax. If so, you may want to write about it. I find people very skeptical that there are a lot of us CPAs around the country who would love to eliminate the IRS and reduce our income accordingly.

Thanks for writing and welcome to the tax blogosphere. I wish you continued success with it.

Kerry,

Thanks for adding my blog to your bloglines account. In fact, I took you up on the recommendation to write a blog entry regarding the FairTax. It takes a little more momentum day by day.

 Again, I enjoy your blog and related commentary.

 Thanks,

Brian Brown

I noticed that yesterday and wondered if it was a coincidence.

Keep up the good work.
