What Is A Reverse EIN Lookup?
by Sahil Vakil, MYRA Wealth

You have to make time to manage your business. As part of our accounting and bookkeeping services there are a few things we provide to business owners to help you stay on track. We can help you to do this along the way so it’s getting the same priority level and attention that you’re putting into your business to create the product or service.
Business Owners- Profit and Loss Statement
by Michelle Smalenberger, Financial Design Studio, Inc.
Here’s what every small business owner needs to know about the profit and loss statement (P&L). It’s essentially what you make and what you spend to get to your bottom line.
What you make means revenue, sales, and cash inflows. What you spend is what you are buying and what your cash outflows are. Subtracting your outflows from your inflows gets you to a net profit/loss.
