i was assisted in these blogs by my partners brain lovett and peter weitsen and many others that i got ideas from or ran ideas by. while my name is shown on the top it has been a collaborative effort and shows the versatility of the tax department at withum. i also received some behind the scenes help where they preferred not to be mentioned. additionally, there are many others here at withum whose efforts serve clients very well every day of the year.
i have been associated with bottom line inc since i met marty edelston in 1976 when he published what i believe was the best newsletter for business managers and leaders – boardroom reports. at some point it evolved into bottom line personal and while they still have an excellent print newsletter, they also have an outstanding web site and i urge all of my readers to check it out at the above url.

p.s.: if you would like some information about martin edelston here is a link to a blog i posted soon after he passed away.
