I founded Greater Houston Business Services to provide income statements and balance sheets and related services since 1971 for over 50 types of businesses. Never thought I would be business that long-a joy to work for small businesses. For 39 years we prepared income tax returns for the different types of corporations, including partnership and individuals. Running a business often comes periodic with unique problems. In addition to stories and tips
which are many, understanding the income statement and balance sheet is stressed in the following 3 books listed:
