Congrats you have your new logo…now what?

10/17/2016

 
Picture
After initial meetings, hours upon hours of revisions and tweaks, you finally have the logo that best exemplifies your business and brand. Now what? Some think that if they place their logo on a website or Facebook business page, the loyal customers will come. I only wish that was true!
Much like a farmer, you have to plant and cultivate those initial seeds, with your branding and marketing before you can reap the rewards.

​The IRS makes an important announcement about identity theft

10/4/2016

 
Picture
Want an affordable, valuable benefit to offer your employees?  Now you can.  An announcement made this year by the US Treasury and IRS makes providing identity theft coverage an appealing benefit.  When a company no matter the size provides employer-paid identity theft coverage, they are not to include the value of the plan in gross income reported on the employees W2’s. Nor is an employee who receives identity theft service benefits from an employer or someone else (such as in a breach situation by a credit card company, or store) required to claim it on their tax return (W2 or 1099). This announcement retroactively covers tax year 2015.  Plus, it’s a tax deduction for the employer.
