All I do is travel.
I met Stanley in the standup kitchen of my 2 room home/office and
manufacturing headquarters. As I melted large quantities of soap
(ultimately to be poured into some crude molds) on my portable
burner, I described my vision of retail stores selling my bars of
soap stuffed with toys or a duck’s body upside down so the legs
would stick out. A vision but no plan; no path. Together we worked
that afternoon, drawing my Picasso. Stanley was referred by a friend
of a friend. Over the 7 years I was in business, he was the small
business person’s advisor and conscience. From that initial meeting
until I sold my business, he was monitoring the plan. He assisted by
establishing personnel policies; reviewing insurance coverages and
related employee benefits; negotiated my warehouse leases;
structured the sale of my business to my tax benefit. He is
available if you want to travel too

I have had only one accountant-Stanley Cohen
We have known each other for 30+years. He is my accountant and
was my partner. I like simple operations and love to work with my
customers. Using my strengths, I continue to succeed while admitting
that I am not a numbers person. I have relied on Stanley to be sure
my margins were in place and my expenses were within reason. Sales
and marketing direction are my doing. Thus I count on Stanley to
keep my income taxes within reason. Today, I am operating my 5th
business because of our partnership. We have designed a plan for my
path to retirement and I try to stay within the boundaries watching
for the bumps that are out there. If you need a business partner
without the ownership entanglements, contact him.

Unlike other accountants that I interviewed....
Stanley cares about what we do and has treated me as though we
were partners. Time and time again he has proven to be
knowledgeable, patient and extremely helpful as we start our second
year in business. His business background has provided me with
insight into the growing pains of any young business. Laying out the
landmines on the path, allows me to use my time better which in turn
allows the company to grow .What would my learning curve have been
if we had not met?
