We Urge The IRS to Provide Better Guidance on Cryptocurrency Rules
Following an explosive 2017, many of the cryptocurrencies we are commonly familiar with reached their all-time peak values in January of 2018 before the market took a spectacular turn for worse and began a correction that lasted for the entire year. During the year, many cryptocurrencies you are familiar with witnessed staggering losses. Bitcoin alone lost more than $250 billion, or 80% of its value, Ethereum lost more than 90% of its value, and other cryptocurrencies suffered similar losses.
It was practically impossible to read the news without seeing reports on how poorly the market was doing, or how much money investors were losing by the ...
What does helping people in Guatemala have to do with accounting in Portland, Oregon?
What does helping people in Guatemala have to do with accounting in Portland, Oregon? The answer is NOTHING!
So, why would my employer Morris + D’Angelo support my traveling to Guatemala? When I was hired by Morris + D’Angelo in San Jose to open and expand their office in Portland Oregon, I expected to have a “typical” retail space someplace where potential customers could come and get advice and counsel about their taxes. However, that’s not typically all we do at Morris + D’Angelo. While it’s true, we help our customers solve their specific tax needs, we do much more. We help multi-generational family businesses, individuals ...
Asset Protection, Trust Planning, and Letter of Wishes
My long-awaited trip to Idaho to pick up my restored 1997 Porsche Targa 911 SC finally arrived. I flew with my brother Mike the other day to Idaho to pick up my “Baby” and then we ventured onward to our Great Road Trip from Idaho and onto some less traveled roads winding through Oregon like only a Porsche could do and finally back to Portland, Oregon.
As we got going, we traveled and visited some of the highlights of our Father’s trailblazing past. Stopping at one of his favorite watering holes to honor his memory, I fueled-up with a $5.00 4-Pound Burrito; I was ready to hit the road; I don’t think I’ll need to eat for the rest of the ...
It’s Time to Build Your Back-to-School Budget
We just left behind record-setting 100-degree summer weather in Portland, Oregon. The cool temperatures of the Oregon Coast are still calling, and it’s time for us to start packing our young students backpacks because the new school year will be here before you can say ‘fall semester.’ We just returned from Carroll College in Helena, Montana where our youngest Kayla will be attending her freshman year. If you haven't done it yet, it's time to build your Back-to-School Budget.
As you know, there is a significant financial cost associated with the start of a new academic year. Regardless of whether you’re a parent thinking about your ...

Virtual Currency: A Primer on Bitcoin and Why Bitcoin Matters
When our clients first began discussing Bitcoin a few years ago, I wasn't sure what they were talking about. I had never heard of Digital or Cryptocurrency. Fast forward a few years and these conversations have moved mainstream. I was sharing with my wife in Portland, Oregon the other day that Malls (Clackamas Town Center) now have Bitcoin ATM machines where people can purchase and exchange Bitcoins for other paper currencies or other paper currencies into Bitcoins. I wouldn't have imagined this 10-years ago.
However, many of you remain unfamiliar with Bitcoin and its various cousins of Virtual Currency.
Bitcoin Basics
For ease of discussion, ...
The Value of Community in a Shared CoWorking Office
A Professional Network is more defined by whom you keep out rather than who you let in. This is counter to the prevailing feel good; bigger is better, Social Media, Twitter, and LinkedIn love fest.
Good Leadership in a CoWorking Office has to seek to provide a community that is strong with the diversity of ideas, opinions, personalities, skills, business models, and habits.
I’m really picky about who I let into my network. Mostly in part because those who have agreed to include me in THEIR Networks trust me, and because they trust me, I consider myself a good "responsible" steward of their Business and Personal Information. And, ...
Portland, Oregon: What If People Could Choose Their Residency
What If?
Over the course of my career, I have been challenged several times about my Residency, my decision to be licensed in Oregon along with my California license. But, What if?...
What if We Could Choose Our Own Residency
Corporations make these decisions all the time. They make them because some states are better at administering corporate matters than others (Delaware). So why can’t people? What if I think an Armed-Society is a Polite Society (aka Arizona) yet the liberal residents of Multnomah County (Portland, Oregon) fear guns – why can’t I elect to apply the laws of Arizona to me, pay the related Arizona costs and requirements ...
