About the Author, Michael T. Hanley

"30 Minutes With..." founder/author Michael Hanley

Michael Hanley is a Certified Public Accountant and Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with extensive knowledge in the area of small business tax planning.

Michael built his CPA practice from a small, one-man operation with six clients and eight thousand dollars in annual billing into a successful firm with over 450 clients and half a million dollars in annual billing within his first two years in business.

The focus of Mr. Hanley’s practice is on small business accounting, tax planning, and tax preparation. He is considered an expert in the field of entity selection, successfully counseling hundreds of small businesses as to which type of business structure best fits their business and tax needs.

With his expert opinions frequently published throughout the country in various publications such as BusinessWeek, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Newsday, Long Island Business News, Accounting Crossing, BrandWeek, and USAA Magazine, he thought it was time to consolidate these ideas into one easy-to-read book.
