You know what they say, "Time flies when you're having fun!" I'm not exactly sure who "they" are, but they seemed to be in the know. It's been a month since the last post, and I have to tell you, it's been crazy!!!
In the span of two very short weeks, our company moved an entire office location. It wasn't just packing up offices, but it was cleaning and breaking down desks, cabinets, built-ins; filling holes, dusting and finally carpet shampooing. Hard enough, but add on remodeling the new offices, painting, cleaning out old junk, getting rid of desks, filing cabinets and more and you could break a sweat in no time at all.
Oh, let's not forget moving phones, faxes, copiers, printers, credit card machines and postage machines. Whew! I'm tired all over again, just thinking about it!
Did I mention that this was all during tax season? Yes, corporate taxes were due March 15th, as well as payroll for clients, accounting, and various other things. It's a miracle we didn't crash. Oh, the server did (on March 15th, no less), but we didn't!
Our staff is amazing. They worked long hours, lifted heavy boxes, grabbed a hammer or a paint brush, drove countless trips back and forth between the two offices and still managed to do their everyday work. I work with an amazing group of people!
The dust has settled (for the most part), and the staff continues to work hard on tax returns and daily operational duties. In fact, I doubt they've even skipped a beat.
So why did we do it? Why do we continue to do it? It's the clients. At A Plus Tax and Accounting and Carter Financial & Tax Consultants, the driving force for what we do is this: We strive to help businesses and individuals succeed in their endeavors. If that means we put in a few more hours on tax returns, or order in late night take out a few more times, then so be it. We love what we do and we love our clients!
We invite you to stop in, call or visit our website at http://www.carterusa.us/ and meet our staff, visit our office and have a cup of coffee. And, if you're putting off getting your taxes done, know that, in the words of Tom Bodett, "We'll keep the light on" just for you.
