Grover Rutter

Grover Rutter is a CPA and Business Broker who has been dealing with closely held businesses for over 30 years. "Now that the baby boom generation is maturing, the business advice they receive has to be much different from 10 to 20 years ago," Rutter explains.

For this reason, Grover has written a newly released book that provides "straight talk" to business owners so they can learn very quickly HOW to increase and maintain their business values. This book provides an excellent "self examination" for business owners to apply to their own business situations. Your Business IS Your Goldmine! (Learn How to Get the MOST Out of Your Business) delivers an important message that most business owners NEVER hear! HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR BUSINESS! This powerful (and easy to use) message will help business owners put their business financial well-being into perspective. The tax deductible Guide is less than $20, and should be read by every business owner. Interested readers may find the guide at www.Lulu.com/businessadvisor
