Do you use QuickBooks to track BOE sales tax? If so, and you’re on a quarterly filing basis, then the next reporting deadline is coming up on July 31, 2007.

QuickBooks does a great job tracking California sales tax if you set it up and run it right. If you haven’t, it may take you too long to fill out your quarterly sales tax return or you may make costly mistakes.

Our financial advisors will make sure everything goes smoothly. We have years of experience using QuickBooks to track sales tax and to complete the Board of Equalization’s return.

And right now, we have a special package offer to compute and file your return.

For only $450, this package includes:

• Q&A with you so we understand your sales tax responsibilities
• A look at your QuickBooks file to check for correct sales tax data entry
• Minor corrections to your QuickBooks file if needed
• Completion of sales tax return for your review and approval.

If our file analysis shows that significant corrections are needed, we will give you our best estimate of the cost to help you with the repairs.

And if you respond by July 27, 2007, we’ll give you $100 off the $450 price for the full sales tax filing package. Just call us at 1-800-889-6484 or email David Stern to get started.

This is just one of over 100 ways that Small Business Logic Inc. helps entrepreneurs learn to run their business better – from profit to cash flow, compliance to financing, start-up to exit strategy.
