Big Snow Country Business: Contact Quest Services

WELCOME, THIS SITE HAS TWO OVERALL OBJECTIVES

1. To provide the latest business news for what we call "Big Snow Country" which consists of the following counties that are on the South shore of Lake Superior: Gogebic, Ontonagon, Houghton, Keweenaw, Baraga, Marquette, Alger, and Luce.

2. To provide extensive details about the Quest Accounting and Business Services, which are a set of high quality but remarkably discounted capabilities available to Big Snow Country businesses. We mostly are interested in serving very small and new businesses that are shunned by the big money operaters like the venture capital companies and the huge accounting companies. Specifically, we are most interested in businesses with less than a million dollars in assets and less than a million dollars a year in gross revenues. Even if your assets and revenues are less than $100,000, Quest welcomes the opportunity to provide you with the kind of service you will never get from the much larger companies serving the much larger businesses.

We have the capability and intention to provide "the little guy" with as good or better business service as he could obtain from the "big companies" that definitely don't need and most likely don't want the little guy as a client. We are doing so right now and we have room for a few more clients.

Perhaps it is more accurate to say that the little guy should not want a business service company that mostly services multi-million dollar companies because the relationship would be like two ships passing in the night and because the prices will be very high relative to what the small business can and should pay.

We invite you to check out the details using pages and posts on this page and of course we also invite you to try a service. You can even try a service for free and see for yourself whether this is "too good to be true" or not.

QUEST BUSINESS AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES
● A US business Service Company especially serving New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan
● Specializing in and offering huge discounts for start-ups and existing businesses in Michigan counties along the shores of Lake Superior
● Try Quest services for free and see for yourself whether the extremely low rates yet high quality service are too good to be true

TO GET STARTED, CHOOSE A CONTACT OPTION:
You can ask questions about services, try services for free, and/or begin services after your free trial via email, via phone, or both. You choose the way and you also choose which of those ways you prefer Quest to contact you.

EMAIL OPTION
To get started, email Quest at bigsnowbusiness at gmail .com . If you are an existing accounting only client, you can alternatively use the dedicated accounting email address: questaccountingservices at gmail. com . Replace "at" with the symbol @ and remove spaces for both email addresses. (The addresses are shown this way to prevent these emails from being picked up by automatic email harvesters used by junk email senders; this prevents thousands of garbage emails from being sent to these addresses.)

Please indicate in your email whether you want Quest to return your email message with an email or a phone call. If you want to be called, please include your phone number and optionally the best time to reach you.

TELEPHONE OPTION
Or you can start by calling 646-350-6612 and leaving a very short message. Don't forget to include your phone number and please include the best time to call if it matters to you. Or else you can leave an email address in your phone message and we'll contact you back via email.

Note: The area code in the phone number reflects another area, but please be aware that Quest Accounting and Business is physically located fully in Houghton County, Michigan and has no physical or legal location in that other area code area. The reason for this is that the phone number is an Internet number and the service used can not yet supply to Quest a 906 area code number which is what we really want to have.

You can use this number 24 hours a day to leave a message. It is usually actively monitored during most regular business hours so if you call during business hours you are likely to get a call back within about three hours of your call. If you leave a message outside of regular business hours you will probably get a call back sometime on the next business day, subject also to your "best time to call" instructions.

Since we don’t bother with a toll-free number, we like to call you not only the first time but every time, so that in most cases you won’t pay toll charges except for whatever you pay when you call Quest to leave very short messages with requests for call backs. Consulting conversations sometimes run over an hour long and we don’t want clients to pay for telephone long distance toll charges for consulting.

Incidentally, only formal consulting conversations are subject to charge. Requests for service are always free and questions and discussions regarding completed service are generally free.

WHEN TO CALL IF YOU WANT IMMEDIATE CONTACT WITH NO WAITING FOR A CALL BACK
If you prefer you can call during the following hours and we will often be able to pick up the call and talk with you immediately. Your ordinary toll charges will apply.
The times Quest Services tries to pick up calls directly are between 2 PM and 5 PM eastern time, Wednesdays and Thursdays only. The phone number is the same one you can use at any time day or night: 646-350-6612

By time zone the hours to call for immediate contact and service are:

Eastern 2 PM to 5 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays only
Central 1 PM to 4 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays only
Mountain Noon to 3 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays only
Pacific 11 AM to 2 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays only

Remember, you must call within these hours to get live assistance. At all other times, you can leave a voice message, and/or you can send an email to:

Qualifications and Experience of Your Quest Services Provider

I AM MORE THAN QUALIFIED FOR EVERYTHING OFFERED HERE
Like the vast majority of people who live in Big Snow Country I am not a "corporate man". That is, I am not the type of person who has a lot of experience with dealing with and/or accounting for millions of dollars. What I am though is sort of the small money version of a "corporate man". In other words, I chose to employ my economics, business, and accounting skills and knowledge to small and very small enterprises, often my own.

Here is a quick summary of my primary qualifications:

Economics and Business Skills and Knowledge Qualified
I hold a Summa Cum Laude Degree at a near Ivy League School

Accounting and Business Skills and Knowledge Qualified
I hold a Summa Cum Laude Masters Degree in Accounting at a major State University

Business Experience Qualified
I successfully ran a small (or very small would perhaps be more accurate) retail business located in a city with a population of almost a quarter million people and located in a metro area of a million people with essentially no assistance from anyone for 7.5 years, performing every task from a to z myself. Work weeks were in the 70 to 90 hours a week range. What I just described is literally true, as strange as it may sound to you.

Also, I successfully managed (with some limited assistance) another very small retail business for seven years prior to that.

In the most recent years I have been "recession dodging" and at the same time producing Internet resources including Big Snow Country. Just prior to coming to Big Snow Country I fixed up, cleaned up, and sold a relatively neglected property in an extremely remote spot in the Midwest at a small gain in the middle of the biggest real estate price decline in history. (No, when I bought that property I wasn't trying to get in on the easy money that could be made years ago in "flipping" properties; that property was simply a residence I chose to live in. But then when the real estate depression struck I was challenged to prevent a very large loss on the resale of the property. I succeeded at preventing that loss.)

As of now my plan to dodge the recession in Big Snow Country has partially fallen through because the recession is so severe that even Big Snow Country, which for decades was one of the best areas of the Midwest economically and still is, actually, has succumbed to recessionary conditions. The fact that even Big Snow Country has dropped into recession is one of the reasons, as you may already know, that I am selling business services for ridiculously low prices.

Internet and Computing Qualified
I have developed over 100 interesting web sites that are gradually growing in traffic, including Big Snow Country. I have especially high proficiency in Excel, Quicken, Quick Books, Turbo Tax, HTML, and malware/computer security. I am not, however, a "geek programmer" and in fact I try to avoid outright programming as much as possible, preferring to rely on coding done by others. (Call me a code hyena if you insist).

YOU ARE INVITED TO BIG SNOW COUNTRY

THE ORIGINAL INVITATION FROM 2008, STILL RELEVANT TODAY
Let’s face it folks, it may be over as far as the economy is concerned. We may have no choice but to think and work differently from here on out. We may have to think more in terms of barter, for example.

In light of this, I would like to offer free and very low cost services to anyone who wants to move to and start a business in Big Snow Country, especially Houghton County, Ontonagon County, or Baraga County, Michigan.

There is housing for as little as $9,000 or so available in this area. The property taxes are low, especially after the Michigan homestead property tax credit is taken into account.

There is a major public university here: Michigan Technological University. Northern Michigan University is in Marquette to the east. Gogebic Community College is in Ironwood, which is at the Western edge of Big Snow Country.

The summers here are like heaven, they are very similar to summers in northern France and southern Germany. The winters are very cold and extremely snowy. It’s a tradeoff: in exchange for putting up with the cold and snow, you get freedom from tornadoes, hail storms, frequent lightning storms, straight line winds, wind storms, ice storms, flooding, heat waves, and excessive heat in general, which most other Midwestern, Southern, and some Northeastern areas are continually subject to. This means among other things that you don't have to pay the high equipment and energy costs associated with air conditioning.

Anyone who wants to move to the area and start a business, but needs assistance, is invited to write to me at the email given below and we will discuss how I might be of help, at little or no cost. Your race, color, age etc. are irrelevant, you just have to be someone who wants to start a business.

bigsnowbusiness @ gmail dot com

Replace the "dot" with an actual dot (.) and remove the spaces. You have to post an email like this or the junk emails pile up after the address is harvested by automatic "email harvesters".
