    Good solutions
    for your
    business!
    Twenty-five years ago, I would tell clients "You don't want to run your business with cheap software you can buy at Wal-Mart". Today I say, "Actually that's exactly what you want to do, if you can." Times and products change.

    The field of finance deals with the concepts of time, money, risk and how they are interrelated. It also deals with how money is spent and budgeted. There are basically five steps in financial planning, the key component of personal finance.

GPS Logbook

This is a Must Have
To Document Auto Mileage

Take the pain out of logging your journeys. Make sure you claim all your journeys without having to switch on an app or calculate mileages. Simply plug the unit into your car power socket. The device will log your car journeys automatically. Synch the data to your PC and create editable reports as often as you want.

This thing is worth it's weight in gold in an IRS audit
Toggle between business and personal journeys and personalize the reports to suit your needs. Reports are IRS compliant. The unit includes a USB car charger. 12 months subscription to Google mapping is included.

At the price it is available for, it will pay for itself the first month. This is one of the very best time-savers I've ever seen. On top of that, if it catches just 200 miles that you might miss, it just paid for itself again. Plus, if you bring the report to us at tax time, we'll scan it and keep a back-up for you.

Product Features


I can't tell you how many times I've represented someone in an IRS audit where the taxpayer failed to keep good records relating to automobile mileage. People tell me, "if I spend all of my time on record-keeping, I wouldn't make any money to pay taxes on." Let this little device automatically do it all for you!
