HOT TOPIC: Current Economic Conditions and the Prospect for Inflation

Inflation jumped up to 3.2% in April. That’s still below the 50-year average but it may be little consolation for anyone who has been to a gas station or a grocery store recently.

Why You Want to Know How Much Your Business is Worth

An up-to-date valuation may seem like an unnecessary expense for a small business, but it could prove to be invaluable to achieving long-term goals.
