2.  Information Management.  

Correct information and information management is critical to successful accounting and other business
operations.

I  have extensive experience as an information researcher, analyst, and information manager, gained from
my first career for the Defense Department.

In addition, I have developed skills from creating and maintaining  
www.InformationForAccountants.com.   
This website contains dozens of articles that I have written on finding and managing informaton and
hundreds of links to many of the most important accounting, business, and management-related website
sources of information on the Internet.

I contribute to my strong information management and searching skills through the educational and other
benefits gained from my membership in the Association of Independent Information Professionals (
http:
//www.AIIP.org/).

Small businesses need accurate government compliance, business statistics and other data, tax
information, and other information.  I have experience in providing professional information research
services to small businesses.   Combining accounting and information management services increases
the value delivered to the small business.

I use my research and analysis skills to find Internet data for creating graphs, which attempt to visually
help business decision makers make better decisions.   I post these graphs on by blog which you can go to
by clicking
here.
