Ledger Life Rocks
"What are your thoughts on the QB Ledger option? I was thinking it might be worth trying for couple lasting clients who are still in desktop (my old version as I don't pay for it anymore). For both these clients, I only work on their files 1 or 2x a year.... nothing live, no bill paying etc. Just enter, reconcile, get a report to their CPA’s. So I was thinking QB Ledger might be sufficient for them." Check out the software, apps & training we use in our Bookkeeping Businesses daily, trust the creators and content so that we...

Now we get to tell it from my brother Herb's perspective. And Herb's perspective is particularly insightful because, like our friend Walter Ogrod, Herb was one of John Hall's victims. ...

Hiring Gone Wild
"When you first started hiring help for your bookkeeping business, did you go with a contractor or with an employee? Why or why not? If you hired in employee capacity how did you go about providing tools/equipment and training, assuming you are operating out of your home rather than having a business location? Do you tell your clients that other people would be handling their books or was it all behind the scenes for them?

How I Survived John Hall, Part 2
THE KEYHOLE: Without a doubt, the very worst thing criminal mastermind John Hall did to my family was what he did to my brother Herb. He put Herb in prison for 18 months and made him stand trial for a brutal rape and murder he absolutely did not commit. And all because Herb had done the right thing – reporting to the authorities that John and my mom had been leaving our 12 year old youngest sister “home alone” (that’s how the newspapers reported it) in a dangerously cold house for six months. When normal families disagree, they scream and shout at each o...

How I Survived Feeling Like I Didn't Belong
THE BLURB: It was hard enough growing up in a lower tier crime family. But, imagine growing up and feeling the whole time like you didn't "belong" - like somehow you ended up with the wrong family. When I was 40, I learned that I was right - my actual biological dad was a sperm donor and none of the various men my mom and my family's stories told me was my dad. But, I would also learn that the other family to which I did belong - my family of donor conceived siblings - they were and are amazing!

Welcome To The Hall Closet
In this episode, I’ll introduce you to my lower tier family, the Halls! We weren’t the Corleone’s, but back in the 1980’s and 90’s (in and around Philadelphia), we made national headlines! My mom – Phyllis - went from flirting with criminality to actually sleeping with it. She spent 6 months in prison for child endangerment. My stepdad – John Hall – was the Philadelphia PD’s favorite snitch. By the time he was done, he’d insert my family into two of Philly’s biggest unsolved murders. That didn't end well for anyone! Ah, but first, you have to meet the family!...
