About The Author & Blog Purpose

Author Information: Chris Silvey is a former economics doctoral student that left a full fellowship from Cornell University to pursue other interests. I am currently exploring a career in public accounting/auditing. With undergraduate degrees in economics and statistics (with honors) I have absolutely no business giving any opinions on accounting practices, taxes, or auditing…but I’ll do it anyway (all hail the mighty internet…yay!). I am a child of the 70’s, married to a woman that I have been with for nearly 10 years, and have a beautiful baby girl…the dog and house will follow as soon as I pay off my student loans. The rest you can find out by reading my internet posts.
Blog Information: In this blog I will pursue topics of interest in the fields of accounting, tax, auditing, and a smattering of statistics, economics, and financial analysis.

I agree. Nice pic.
Ironically, I was pushing up my nose when I clicked on the link to more info about you. It almost seemed like your picture responded to me. I am not kidding.
I am a marketing assistant for a company called Corporate Store Front, a company accountants outsource for their corporate formation needs. We form corporations within a week, compared to 6-8 weeks that lawyers take to make them. We are licensed and bonded in California and are licensed document assistants. If you are anyone you know is interested in outsourcing us please email me at abby.csf@gmaill.com. Or email me anyway for any reply or feedback.
More info about my company can be found on http://www.corporatestorefront.com.
How do I get a link on the weblinks section on your sidebar?
Hoping for your kind response. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
I’m a fellow Cornellian with a PhD in accounting from Ohio State. I’d like to invite you to check out The Accounting Onion (www.accountingonion.com), and I think that you will especially like my most recent post on economic principles and fair value accounting. I’m hoping you’ll be impressed enough to post a link to me on your site.
Best regards,
Tom Selling
