What is a CPA Mom?
CPA Moms is trade name given to Accounting and Tax Professionals who chose to work in an “relaxed” environment. Some work from home, other work from personal offices. Not all are moms, there are some dads. Each CPA Mom is independent and licensed by their state CPA agency.
Being in a relaxed environment has many advantages. Lower overhead, faster response time, more availability etc.
To be a member of CPA Moms, the CPA must ALWAYS be in good standing with their state licensing CPA agency, experienced, and must demonstrate a high level of ethics, professionalism and proficiency.
Tax Net Inc, the parent company of the CPA Moms, has developed marketing and on line systems to help qualified CPA’s work from their relaxed environment and offer better service at a lower price to the consumer. Since the CPA Moms do taxes and accounting of all complexities, there is always a CPA Mom available for every level of work.

Your Fundraising Annual Appeal Letters Need A Villian
Alan Sharpe
Anger is one of the best emotions that you can arouse in a donor. Anger is a healthy emotion, particularly when your fundraising letter offers donors a way to assuage their anger. “Individuals are more prone to respond to a genuine feeling of anger than to any other emotion,” says Roland Kiniholm in his book, Maximum Gifts by Return Mail. To make your donors angry, you need a villain. Villains are good. They help you focus your donors’ attention on one problem that needs fixing. That villain can be a person or a problem. My advice is that you never name a particular person as your villain, since doing so is not very charitable, excuse the pun. Plus, you might get sued for defamation of character or slander. Instead, you should attack the catastrophe that the villain has created, or simply make the catastrophe the villain.
- Mothers Against Drunk Driving has a villain: drunk driving (not drunken drivers)
- The Coalition Against Gun Violence has a villain: gun violence (not gun owners)
- Oxfam has a villain: poverty (not the wealthy)
- Habitat for Humanity has a villain: unaffordable housing (not landlords)
Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States last week. The response by the US federal government to the plight of tens of thousands of refugees stranded in New Orleans was so slow that hundreds likely perished. For days, we saw the images on our television screens of stranded citizens dying in New Orleans while help tarried. In your fundraising letter to raise funds for these hurricane victims, you could name President Bush as your villain. You could blame the plight of the displaced people on Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown, who many are saying is responsible for the delays that caused so many deaths. Or you could blame the mayor of New Orleans. But these attacks would sound unkind. And painting any of these men as the villain right now would be premature. Instead, a successful appeal letter would paint the hurricane as the villain. Or point the finger at the flooding as the villain. Your fundraising campaign can have a villain and still be positive. The Red Cross, for example, is running a fundraising campaign right now with this theme: Hope is Stronger than a Hurricane. There’s only one thing wrong with that theme. I didn’t think of it. If you want to stir up one of the strongest human emotions to your advantage, chose a villain that your donors can get angry at. Then show how your non-profit organization can alleviate that anger by eliminating (or, more realistically, weakening) that villain.
