"We're pleased to have Michael Johnson and his CPA firm on board," says Andrew Schwartz, CPA, founder of The MDTAXES Network. "With offices in Grand Junction and Montrose, Michael W Johnson & Associates, LLC is now listed on our network as the exclusive CPA firm for Western Colorado." More information about this CPA firm is available at www.johnsonassociatescpas.com.

The MDTAXES website (www.mdtaxes.com) has been up and running since 1995 and contains a thorough analysis of the tax issues relevant to healthcare professionals. The site includes a monthly newsletter, a message board monitored by the CPA members, and a variety of basic financial planning tools including a Financial APGAR test. Visitors to the site can sign up to receive their informative monthly newsletter via e-mail.

Unlike other directories of CPAs, MDTAXES grants their CPA members exclusivity by metropolitan area. This allows the members to focus on developing a healthcare niche within their CPA practices, and to keep current with all the tax breaks and pitfalls common to these professionals.

The MDTAXES Network is maintained by CPA Niche, LLC (www.cpaniche.com), which also maintains www.FindAGoodCPA.com, a site where taxpayers can locate and interact with CPAs and EAs who specialize in a wide variety of niches.

"In today's fast paced business environment, specializing allows CPAs to give their clients the timely information needed to help minimize their tax burden and make prudent business decisions," explains Schwartz.
