Getting the most for your money-buying smart, selling at the best price and keeping costs and taxes in line, is the proven way to success, regardless of what profession you are in. Most people who prepare their own tax returns do not get all the deductions they are entitled to receive. You need reliable professional help, including that of a Certified Public Accountant who is also a Certified Financial Planner and Personal Financial Specialist.

The firm Kenneth M. Weinstein, CPA, CFP® was founded to serve individuals, property owners and the owners of small to medium-size businesses across the United States with high quality accounting, financial services, and income tax preparation. Our services can help you:

  • Save money on personal, corporate, and sales taxes.
  • Run your business more effectively.
  • Start or acquire a business.
  • Sell your business for top dollar.
  • Plan for your long-term security. 
  • Optimize the transfer of your assets to your heirs.
  • Help you evaluate your insurance needs (life, disability, long-term care, etc.)
  • Plan for college savings
  • Plan for retirement
  • Develop estate planning

Starting, running, or winding down a business, there are numerous items about which to be concerned-capital equipment, personnel, supplies, vendors, customers and so on. But when you really think about it, being in business is just about one thing-it's all about the money and the service a firm can provide.
