PostHeaderIcon Tax Season

We are starting up our educational seminars for the year. We are changing up the topics to address more current issues for 2011. With Chris Brown, our CPA, we are taking a more “tag team” approach to our seminars. We will be discussing tax issues and strategies as well as investment planning tips.
