Zummach, Editor, CharityVillage.com
"I serve different charities as either an accountant or director and
appreciate the specialized insights your newsletters provide in a unique
and underserved area of tax. I particularly like the fact that through
your writing I can be kept up to date on the 'hot topics' in
charity tax in a concise and easy to read format."
Ron Poizner C.A., Toronto, Ontario
"I recently moved from the USA to Canada to be an administrator
for a large charity organization, one of the daunting tasks in front of
me was getting to know the very intricate and complicated tax laws that
apply to charity organizations. The newsletter has helped me in
many ways, and I actually look forward and wait for each one knowing that
there will be some very helpful information that might very well save my
organization problems down the line."
