An abandoned gosling was found by a Global Resources employee on the side of a busy road while driving to work. After a quick check to see that its family was not in the area, she picked up the bird and brought it to Jenifer, our resident wildlife rescue expert. Jenifer has rescued numerous abandoned and injured animals due to having grown up in a household where her mother was a certified wildlife rehabilitator.
“Nobody put Baby in a corner.”
The baby goose, after a bit of energetic exploring of Jenifer’s office, was soon settled …

Get A Piece Of The Government Business Pie
By Previously, I wrote about various ways to leverage the US Small Business Administration and its many services and funding options. In this third and final article about the SBA, I want to focus on the programs that are in place for minorities.

In addition to the recruiting and interviewing costs, you have the training time, lost productivity associated with a new employee, etc. Depending upon the type of position being replaced, it is estimated that turnover will cost you 65 percent to several hundred percent of the beginning annual compensation. …
You Can’t Handle The Truth

Can you confide in your CPA? Are your conversations about your business protected? In reality, the law affords those conversations about as much protection as an umbrella in a hurricane.
