Hello. I’m here requesting funds to keep the family business going. In 1974 my uncle (who adopted me) started a tax business. In 1990, I started working as his assistant doing the clerical part of the business. In 1992, I had acquired enough knowledge to prepare individual tax returns. I would continue my education and move up to manager. I held the office manager title for 29 years. I received the promotion to owner upon my uncle’s death, Father’s Day 2023. My uncle always handled the monetary aspects of the business. I has no idea just how expensive the software and supplies really are. The software alone is $3,265 and some change. This allows me to electronically file returns for clients. I got behind on my bills after I and my husband were in 2 separate car accidents. Our daughter had to have two surgeries after doctors found a tumor in her head. I never was able to save enough to pay for it all. I love my clients and want to continue with the business. I just need to be able to stay afloat. Thanks in advance.
