As we approach tax season, it is important to understand different types of tax forms, and why we need them. If you’re hiring a new employee, or trying to report your income tax returns, you have come to the right place! Tax forms are essential for all small businesses and must be filled out properly. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is constantly on the move and requires every small business to file their taxes.

As someone who has been tasked with helping independent financial advisors, RIAs and other financial professionals deliver predictable, quality leads over the last decade, I often find that most of these pros ultimately have the exact same goal when it comes to their online presence. At the end of the day, they just want to be able to generate more leads – either because they want to secure a better future for their firm or because they simply want to grow their AUM as much as possible.

Why Do Financial Advisors Benefit From Working With Marketing Companies? Most financial advisors don’t have a lot of time to devote to their marketing strategy. Not only are they busy running their business and serving their clients, marketing may not be their expertise or interest. That’s why top advisors outsource their marketing to proven professionals that understand our industry and compliance. .
Financial Advisor Source brings together the best content for financial advisor professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

Here at Mazuma, we know financial statements are important for running a small business. There are three basic financial statements; the balance sheet, income statement, and the statement of cash flow. A balance sheet is a description of a company’s assets, liabilities and equity at a specific point in time. This is a snap shot of the business of what it owns, owes, and the amount of investments it has.

As part of my job delivering predictable, quality leads for independent financial advisors on a regular basis, naturally a big part of my focus involves staying up-to-date on all things Google.

The S&P 500 is up 29%* this year, but it has been more of a grind than a blistering advance. This is fairly common bull markets. You might think that big annual gains are defined by big daily gains, but that's not necessarily the case. This year there have been 20 days where the S&P 500 gained between 1 and 2%. Last year, that happened 27 times even though the market was down nearly 5%.

This time last year we were on the doorstep of a bear market. Or were we? The decline in stocks in the fourth quarter of 2018 won't make it into the textbooks because on a closing basis, stocks never fell 20%. But as you can see, if we go from high to low on an intraday basis, then stocks did break the plane. To me this is tom-ay-toe tom-ah-toe. If you're going to make the argument that this wasn't a bear market, then it should have less to do with depth and more to do with duration.

Making people feel guilty about spending money does not motivate them to do the opposite. They've tapped into something here, because guilt is one of the most visceral emotions.
