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.

CLIENT LIMITATION MONITOR FOR QUEST ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS SERVICES

Currently our work load is roughly 50% of capacity. There is room for a small number of additional clients. The client limit is NOT currently expected to be reached within the next four months. In other words, four months from now, we will most likely still have room for a new client.

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 might 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).
