Self-employed individuals and small business owners, who are over the age of 50, will be able to make tax-deferral employee and employer contributions of up to $ 57,500, which is an increase of $ 1,000 from 2013. The high solo 401(k) Plan contribution limitations coupled with higher taxes will certainly make the Solo 401(k) Plan a more attractive retirement option for the self-employed in 2014, stated Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group. The IRS is trying to offer incentive to self-employed individuals and small business owners to save for their retirement by offering the increased tax deferrals for 2014, stated Mr. Bergman.

Under the 2014 Solo 401(k) contribution rules, a plan participant under the age of 50 can make a maximum employee deferral contribution in the amount of $ 17,500 to an IRA Financial Group solo 401(k) Plan. That amount can be made in pre-tax or after-tax (Roth). On the profit sharing side, the business can make a 25% (20% in the case of a sole proprietorship or single member LLC) profit sharing contribution up to a combined maximum, including the employee deferral, of $ 52,000, an increase of $ 1,000 from 2013.

Wollison-Shipton Building Pittsfield, MA Announces Leasing Of Offices To Psychotherapist And Author, Anna OBrien With More Pittsfield Office Space Still Available

Wednesday, December 25th, 2013


Pittsfield, MA (PRWEB) November 19, 2013

Financial Firebird Corporation, in its capacity as manager of Pittsfield office leasing for the historic Wollison Shipton Building at 150 North Street, in the heart of the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, announces that it has entered into a rental agreement with psychotherapist and author, Anna E. OBrien.

Deeply interested in the wisdom of the unconscious, Anna has worked with unconscious communication for many years in her psychotherapy practice. In her newly released book, Hawk Wisdom: Self-Defense in the Marketplace, she shows how an understanding of unconscious communication patterns can help everyone from the everyday consumer to the corporate executive. After reading Hawk Wisdom, you will understand how to quickly assess bits of conversation that you hear while discussing a purchase or other transaction and use this information to your advantage.

Hawk Wisdom is rooted in the concept of dynamic pattern reading. Dynamic pattern reading is the ability to assess information which is presented unconsciously. Information about items to be purchased or deals to be made can be gleaned from stories, jokes and chit chat which people share at the time of the transaction. This important information generally goes unnoticed. Ms. OBriens book helps people to understand how to listen for, attend to and interpret this information. It is a fascinating concept and a valuable skill.

For information on where to purchase Hawk Wisdom as well as how to sign up for individual and group conferences on unconscious communication go to the hawkwisdom.com site.

The Wollison-Shipton Building, which recently celebrated 125 years since it opened on April 12, 1888, provides office and retail space at very reasonable rents in the heart of downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Those leasing offices especially appreciate the absence of additional charges found at other buildings. Most Wollison Shipton Building tenants pay no extra fees for heat, air conditioning, electricity, gas, common area maintenance or insurance, real estate taxes or even high speed internet service. In addition to those services tenants receive use of a common conference room all included in the rent.

Besides local businesses who may wish to lease office space in Pittsfield, MA companies from out of town should think about Pittsfield in a few different instances. When looking for a place to house back office operations, tenants from New York City or downtown Boston may find the rents in Pittsfield 5 times less to 10 times less than those rents in those large cities. Employee costs in Pittsfield end up substantially lower than in a large city as an extra benefit. Those looking for a virtual office may find Pittsfield offers features to meet those needs too. Business needing an occasional meeting place such as a law firm needing to meet with clients or take a deposition every now and than can make arrangements for space on a per use basis as well. For larger gatherings or presentations the Wollison-Shipton Building offers Pittsfield meeting facilities for close to 100 people either with or without food service from Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant located right next to the event room.

With low rent, bonus services, long term ownership, onsite management and nicely renovated space the historic Wollison Shipton building stands out as a top choice for Pittsfield office space.
