Actually I do NOT believe in lawsuits in any form. I think us consultants should rely on our tax deductions. Of course a proof for the deduction will help;...
Independents, Yama, I don't believe an unpaid invoice can be deducted as a business loss. Only legal expenses to sue for payment. It's a crazy LA, Ca. flake...
I'm finally on my own, per se (through staffing firm), and this is the first time I've had to deal with covering my own travel expenses for work. Normally I...

We went through a fairly long evaluation process and ended up with Standard Time - which is far from perfect but closer than anything else we've found so far....
How much is that? I have time tracking module with QB online. As for the disconnected mode, A QB app that saves it then "uploads" when possible, would not be...
... My company was using XL spreadsheets to manage timesheets and we underwent an evaluation of time tracking software. In the end, we also chose Standard...

I've been using IPS (aka IProfessional.com) for a couple years now, and couldn't be happier with them. If you want to join them, the miminum billing rate is...
Wow this is precisely the type of relation I would like to have. Are there any others you other guys know of? I'd like to make a comparison between different...
