Flagstaff’s Minimum Wage Update

The Flagstaff City Council will meet on February 14th, 6:00 pm, for a special meeting to consider Proposition 414 options. This controversial, voter-approved minimum wage increase (staged increase to $15/hour) has created division in our Flagstaff community.

For a discussion of the options on the table, take a look at the AZ Daily Sun’s write-up January 15, 2017: http://azdailysun.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/three-groups-battle-over-new-flagstaff-minimum-wage/article_1537f5db-2163-5b24-b78f-c0137cfc8d49.html

The Tax Man

The TAX MAN cometh! As my wise father once said, “I prefer to pay taxes – it means I’m making money.” Being successful in business means being intimate with the numbers. It also means that you (or someone on your team) understand United States tax law. Waiting until February or March to get your numbers together for tax return preparation diminishes your ability to manage your financial resources effectively. Tax plan before year end!
