With less than one month until October 15th, it’s time to get serious about filing 2009 individual tax returns. Using today’s technology and easily sourced information, it’s certainly a lot easier to gather and organize information than it was 30 years ago…which reminds me of a funny story:

As I go through this process, I must always remind myself of these traits, knowing they will only add to the success of the organization. I’m sharing my traits with you; use them in your hiring process, or create your own list:
