Starting a business requires significant planning- part of which includes where it will be located; hiring employees; what type of equipment you will need; capital requirements, etc. While most small businesses start out as a one-man operation, in order to grow at some point they have to consider hiring help or possibly outsourcing some things like bookkeeping or other administrative work.
Executive Suites are similar to outsourcing, but they provide you with many more benefits. This is why they are used by everyone from Fortune 500 companies, professionals in every trade, engineers, architects, manufacturer’s reps, to the entrepreneur and small to medium size business.
With an Executive Suite you can potentially minimize your startup costs by over 70%. The simple math makes it clear why the value and benefits of them are the desired choice of professionals around the world. From team rooms to board rooms, you are equipped in a comprehensive professional environment.
On Your Own: Consider what it would cost to rent and furnish an office, install phone equipment, purchase a printer and fax machine and hire a full time receptionist. Most likely it will cost over $25,000 PER YEAR.
Here at Pinnacle: We have furnished Executive Suites starting at $5,940 PER YEAR, ($495/mo.) which includes a full time receptionist, telephone equipment, conference room, printer, copier, fax service and more.
Why not take that savings and reinvest it into further building your business? There’s no better time than right now to start working smarter and not harder.

Winning the Tax Game- End of the Season Tax Tips
Contributed by Elite Bookkeeping & Tax Services
If you think gridlock is a football term, you may not be too far out of bounds. Tax cuts, tax increases and tax provisions are being passed back and forth in Washington, D. C. and whoever fumbles, loses. That can be bad news for taxpayers.
Look at what hangs in the balance: Lower tax rates, the 15% capital gains rate on long-term investments, the 2% payroll tax cut, the 35% maximum estate and gift tax rates, direct IRA payouts to charity, higher alternative minimum tax exemptions, the deduction for state sales taxes and even the $250 deduction for out-of-pocket teacher supplies. And you thought the potential for a 2012 catastrophe was only a Mayan myth.
Although we may be down to the final quarter of the year, there is still time before the two-minute warning, to take a look at your tax situation and see if you can save a few tax dollars.
• The American Opportunity Tax Credit expanded the Hope Credit, providing a credit of up to $2,500 of the cost of qualified tuition and related expenses. Up to $1,000 of the credit can be returned to a taxpayer as a refund. The credit was supposed to end in 2010, but it was extended through 2012. This could be the credit's last year if Congress is looking for ways to cut the federal deficit.
• If you’re in the top tax bracket of 35%, you may want to accelerate income into 2012, if possible. If Congress doesn't act, the highest tax rate will rise to 39.6% in 2013.
• Along with the possibility of higher ordinary income tax rates, there's the possibility of higher capital gains rates on investment income in 2013. The top capital gains rate for investments held for more than a year is 15% for most taxpayers through 2012, and zero capital gains tax for investors in the 10% and 15% tax brackets. If your crystal ball says capital gains taxes are going up next year, you may want to consider locking in profits on long-term investments before the end of this year.
• Giving to charity can help reduce your tax bill if you are able to itemize deductions. In addition to contributions made by cash, check or credit card, the crisp fall air may provide the energy, while the potential of a lower tax bill may provide the incentive to clean out closets looking for items in good condition, that you can donate to a qualified charitable organization. Remember to make a list of the items and determine their fair market value. Clip the list to the door hangar or receipt that you receive from the organization and keep with your tax return documents for your records.
• If you believe that charity begins at home and you want to give away your estate's assets while you're still around to get thanks, you can give up to $13,000 each to as many individuals as you wish without any tax costs to you or your gift recipients in 2012.
• Sometimes, a major life change is thrown your way and you may not think of it as a tax deduction. If you found yourself looking for a new job, agency fees, resume expenses, career counseling costs and travel related to the job search may be deductible even if the job search was unsuccessful.
If you moved because of a change in job location, the cost of moving your household goods and family members may be deductible.
Unreimbursed travel expenses for military reservists, including the National Guard, may be deductible.
The fee that you pay for renting a safe-deposit box, the cost of having your taxes prepared, the advisory or management fees you pay a firm to manage your investments may also be overlooked deductions.
Some of these tax breaks require you to itemize. Others are available even if you claim the standard deduction. Naturally, there may be eligibility requirements to meet and in some cases, there will be extra worksheets, forms or schedules. And you will always need to have documentation for these often-overlooked deductions.
• Even if you’re thinking you’ll never be able to retire, putting money into a retirement account can save you tax dollars. Employees should contribute as much as they can to their 401(k) or similar plans at work.
If you’re eligible, you may want to contribute to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Although Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, traditional IRA contributions may be, depending on your income and whether or not you are covered by an employer’s plan.
Self-employed folks also have a variety of retirement plans from which to choose: SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) IRA, or Solo 401(k) or SIMPLE (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) IRA. Some taxpayers may be able to contribute to a Traditional IRA.
For 2012, remember Roth IRA conversion taxes! If you converted a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in 2010, you were allowed to span the taxes due on the converted amounts equally over the 2011 and 2012 tax years. Your first Roth conversion tax bill was included on your 2011 return, but make sure you plan for the 2012 conversion bill.
Along those lines, it is not too late to adjust the amount of Federal or state tax withheld from your paycheck. If you owed taxes last year, or received a larger refund than expected, you may want to take a look at adjusting your withholding. Remember: the goal is to pay the least amount of taxes. The final quarter of the year is the perfect time to talk to your Enrolled Agent to make sure the game plan you discussed at the beginning of the year still applies, and you’ll surely be the winner at tax time.

Ten Tips for Business Success
Running a business, a department and a home are so complex, with so many people and government agencies pulling on you from all directions. With all the endless reports and duties, it’s amazing that anyone is actually able to get work done, to produce a product finish a project and raise a family. Yet, we do, don’t we? And we do it well.
In a workshop conducted for executive women, the universal complaint was their days were so full of interruptions that these women couldn’t get their own work done. By the end of the workshop, they had come to realize – the interruptions are the job. To manage interruptions and make your life less taxing, here are some guidelines.
- Know what you want. Whether in life or business, have a goal. Have you ever seen people who seem to always get what they want? When the opportunity presents itself, they know what to ask for – and don’t hesitate to ask.
- Have a plan. When outlining the steps to reach your goal, you’ll actually take those steps. It feels so good to cross off each step as you go along. Besides business plans can really save your hide when you get audited.
- Care. Care about the people who live with you, work for you, with you, supply you and pay you. When you treat people well; when you listen to them; when you make each person feel they have 100% of your attention when it matters – you’ll have earned powerful loyalty, respect and love.
- Know things. Learn the things you need to know to reach your goals so you never have to rely on others. In a pinch, or on deadline, you can step in to do the task, or quickly train someone to do it.
- Delegate. Once you know the things you must know to run your business or project, hire the right people to do those things you prefer not to do. If you have any doubts before hiring them – keep looking.
- Market yourself with finesse – not aggressiveness. Whatever you do, you’re always selling – whether it’s yourself, your company, your product, your services, or your ideas and passions. Don’t be overly modest. Learn to express your ideas or pitches succinctly and effectively.
- Go to the top. Start with the president, CEO, or the person with the decision-making authority, at the company you want to pitch. To get past their executive assistants, just tell the assistant what you want to accomplish. Make the assistants your allies. They not only have the ear of the top boss – but also influence all the executives’ assistants. Let the boss and his/her aide introduce you to their operations executives or managers.
- Don’t waste your advertising budget on big ticket, splashy ads unless you have unlimited funds. Those are good for the moment only. Use your budget and your customers’ word-of-mouth to establish a constant, visible presence.
- Keep great records and comply with all government requirements – all levels. Not only will this make audits easier and give you information to keep your costs under control, good records reduce your taxes,
- Have no competitors. Everyone in your industry does something just a little differently. So when someone else is a better choice for your customer or client – refer them. In fact, make the introduction. You’ll generate good will all around.
BONUS – Number 11. Never stint on quality. Make each product or project as important the 100th time as it was the first time.

Why Choose an Executive Suite?
Executive suites are a flexible and economical alternative to leasing traditional office space. Executive suites allow your company immediate access to an office space in a prestigious first class building. You can sign an agreement in the morning and occupy your office later that day. Flexible agreement terms allow you to rent by the day, week, month or year. Pinnacle Executive Suites can take care of all of the details of opening the office for you including setting up your telephone service, high-speed Internet access, furniture, computer consulting services, conference rooms and administrative support.
There is no need for you to hire an administrative assistant or receptionist, since our receptionist will answer your telephones and greet your visitors. We will also provide administrative/secretarial support upon your request for an additional hourly fee.
Capital outlays for start up cost for an executive suite are much lower than a traditional office space, since our conference rooms and reception areas are fully furnished and we provide access to office equipment such as copiers, fax machines and postage machines on an as-needed basis where you only pay for the services that you use.
Your company will have the flexibility to increase the amount of space used or downsize as necessary. Many companies also use executive suites to accommodate a temporary space need. Some examples include temporary space while a permanent office is being located or constructed, office space for a special project and as an outplacement benefit for executives.
Executive suites are perfect for large and small companies, entrepreneurs, accountants, financial firms and attorneys.
