In an effort to learn the things she felt were necessary to help her clients, she added taxation to the mix by become an IRS Enrolled Agent in 1994. Making learning a priority, she went on to earn her B.S. in Business, Management and Economics from the State University of N.Y.

I'd love to know how much one needs to retire

I know there are lots of online calculators, but truthfully they seem so generic...and I get easily overwhelmed.

Hopefully Camille can address that?

small biz stuff

I'd love to talk to Camille about some of the paperwork requirements for running a small biz. Also, could I schedule a separate interview for one of my blogs?

Perfect for me.

I'm starting a business officially this year and need to decide whether I need to go LLC or not.  I need to protect it and my husbands business from each other.  :)   I also have tons of questions about Virtual Worlds and virtual and real monies.

Hi Camille,

I am in the process of submitting paperwork to form a non-profit.  Although it will be in Sweden I think you may be able to give me general advice about funding a non-prift at the start-up stage and beyond.

Thank you!
