Intére‘st in flowers started early From there it was not such a mighty leap to the flower business at the age of twenty. "I knew color," Rea said, "and I knew placements from my art background." He got tremendous support from his whole family, he said, and though he knew it would be tough to succeed in any business, he believed in himself and he learned plenty as he was going along. Who indeed. It is a matter of record. (Continued from page 14) was working in the bakery of Miracle Foodmart and was proâ€" moted to cake decorator. "The pastry brought out creativâ€" ity I never knew I had," he allowed. Nevertheless, he grins at his good fortune and temerity. "Who in their right mind would trust a 20â€"yearâ€"old to do the flowers for their wedding day?" That was 12, almost 13 years ago, first in Miller Mews and for the past seven years here on YOUR TAX RETURN ANYWAY? By now we‘ve all heard the news that Revenue Canada has apparently | uncovered a multiâ€"million dollar tax fraud involving a number of tax preâ€" | parers and their clients in the Toronto o area. It has also been reported that the preparers involved do not include any LINDA KRAAV who are considered by Revenue Canada to be "tax professionals" or designated accountants. The clients of these preparers are now finding themselves in hot water with Revenue Canada. Whether these people were made aware of the fact that they were committing fraud or not is not clear from the reports I have heard. It seems as if perhaps they were not and if that is the case I can only hope that Revenue Canada will show them some mercy ... and really sock it to those shady preparers! We at Diversified Tax have always felt that the only way we can offer proper tax service is to do it on a yearâ€"round basis in a location that is convenient and visible to the public. If our client has a problem, we are here to help and to stand behind our work. Our president, Michael Finkbeiner, started his tax career in downtown Toronto. Over the years there have been many opportunities to profit from tax situations of questionable legality. These situations presented Michael with a choice ... to do the work and risk losing the accounting designation that had cost him 7 years of night school to obtain, or not take the work. The choice was an easy one for him, since losing his CGA designation and/or respect in the business community is too great a risk. Although Michael is the only one who already has a designation, every member of our fullâ€"time staff (myself included), is currently enroled in either the CMA or CGA programs and as members we are all bound by the ethical guidelines placed upon us by our respective organizations. Don‘t misunderstand this, ethical guidelines do not make us audlitors, that‘s Revenue Canada‘s job. We are, however, honor bound not to lead our clients astray and to ensure that our clients are aware that they, as taxpayers, are responsible for the information contained in their tax returns. That‘s who we are. 2441 LAKESHORE RD., OAKVILLE (Bronte Village Mall) Diversified Investments Group Reynolds Street. The secret to success? Hard work goes without saying. Long hours which often include Saturdays and Sundays because of the wedding and bar mitzvahs. He has a great staff, he said, which sometimes includes his mom and sister Lisa and brother Tony who helped lay the stone floor and did the electrical work. But it is evident the core of his strength and his inspiration these days is Anna Montalbano, a young woman he met about two years ago, though their families have been friends much longer. Well, for one thing she‘s Italian, right? Her family has always grown their own fresh produce, he said, to sell at the Ontario Food Terminal. She understands about his life style, long hours and not The truth is Frank got a little tongueâ€"tied when he talked about his fiance. "She‘s incredible," he said, "where do I start?" ""You also have to be innovative in this business," Rea said. nearly enough time for personal relationships. They are simpatico. Frank sighing and smiled brilâ€" liantly, "Anna is just terrific." Later he would muse, "The great thing about Anna is I can send her flowers â€" and she loves them." He laughed. Then he added seriously, "When she comes into the shop and tells me something is not quite right â€" I believe her. She has a fresh perspective and I know she will be honest with me." It is springtime, and a young man‘s fancy has turned to love. They will marry in October, Rea said. The couple will plan the wedding flowers together. Then they will have two weeks for a honeymoon â€" perhaps New York City â€" but this is not decided yet. A little house in Oakville, if they can afford it. Details, details. It is early yet.
