Neighbors: Last week someone left a clear plastic box full of beads and string on our sidewalk near the corner of Jackson and Heberton. We left it there for a few days, assuming someone would claim it, but have since brought it in. Send me an email if it is yours (or your child's). Thanks, Kate _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go. Get Windows Live Hotmail Free. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469229/direct/01/

by B H 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hello Francine, That's exciting news to hear that your business is growing so quickly, especially right now. Well done! I work at the accounting firm Grossman Yanak & Ford, which is a local certified public accounting firm; our office is right downtown. I myself am in the technology and marketing departments but I work right along side our tax accountants who are knowledgeable, friendly and experienced in providing tax return preparation and other services for local/regional corporations, partnerships, individuals, estates, trusts and many local non-profit organizations. We have clients who started off with us as small businesses, have grown in to much larger organizations over the years and we've been able to provide our services to them every step of the way. As an aside, we are also the independent firm that tallies the Pittsburgh Magazine's Best Restaurants Poll (Tambellini's on Bryant made last year's list. Congratulations!). Francine, you had inquired about preparation of both business and individual returns. We work with many businesses where our accountants prepare the business returns and their individual returns as well. Let me know if you are interested and/or have any questions. Feel free to check out our website: www.gyf.com. You or anyone else can reply to this email address or my work address: hardt(a)gyf.com or call me at 412-338-9300 x267 Thanks, Benjamin Hardt Portland St. PS I'm heartened to see how much the HP community is coming together to put a stop to all the break-ins and make our neighborhood safer. I don't have a dog to walk but I keep an eye out and have been putting the porch light on at night. Every little bit counts. --- On Sun, 1/31/10, neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com <neighborhood-request(a)highlandparkpa.com> wrote: Hello Members, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent accountant to do our business taxes and personal taxes as well. We have grown out of our previous accountant. I would prefer it to be a small business or independent accountant. Thanks so much for any recommendations:) Francine M.
