FutureQuestNow(TM): Forecasts, Finances & Fortunes

A Small Business Adventure

MACEDONIA, Ohio, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Two Ohio women are challenging small
business owners to a treasure hunt: deciphering modern treasure maps - the
mysteries of a financial statement. The two "guides" - CPAs with five decades
of combined experience - are leading a group of small business owners on
FutureQuestNow(TM) , an Excel-based, hands-on workshop to acquire and master
the skills, tools and insights to map out a 2010 Financial Plan, with a
three-year strategic timetable for business.

"With so much upheaval in the economy-at-large, small business owners are
afraid to look at their financials, until it's too late," says Terri Ream,
President of Dashboard Accounting LLC in Macedonia, OH, specializing in
strategic planning, cash flow and asset management. "I've been consulting with
lots of business owners lately and, seeing their relief when we lay out
exactly what needs to be done - and their realizing they can do it - made me
think: how can I encourage confidence in other small business owners - how can
we stimulate our own economy?"

Even with lots of good free tools online - templates for business plans and
cash flow analyses - they can be confusing, even overwhelming. Such was the
case for one of Ream's clients. He had been well-advised by SCORE to develop a
business plan and given resources for templates. Uncertain how to proceed - he
did nothing. And that just created more anxiety. So, he signed up for
FutureQuestNow(TM).

"We're offering an immediate bailout bucket," adds Eileen Sass, President of
Sass Accounting Services LLC in Copley, OH, consulting exclusively as an
Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor. "Why hope for a trickle down rescue, when you
can take charge with a hands-on action plan to identify, protect and cultivate
overlooked company assets; create cash flow; plus reduce expenses and tax
liabilities."

Sass and Ream help thousands of businesses prosper - now they're reaching out
to help others. In a day-long work lab, FutureQuestNow(TM) delivers the
know-how to forecast, conduct a cash flow analysis, and generate a financial
statement to make a small business attractive to lenders and investors. What
typically costs a few thousand dollars for a one-to-one consultation, the
small-group FutureQuestNow(TM) setting makes available for a few hundred.

Will a business find treasure or a ticking time bomb? To learn more about
