Guest Post at ALPS411Thanks to the folks over at ALPS for their kind invitation to post at their great ALPS411 blog.  I highly recommend it for some great tips on everything from solo practice to risk management and client relations.

While the scanner is not in the cloud, it keeps my paper to my goal of a two drawer file cabinet.

Again, if you decide to read the whole post, I also recommend that you stay for a while and check out the other posts and articles at ALPS411.
