Bernstein Financial Services
At Bernstein Financial Services we strive to provide quality tax and accounting services, while simultaneously giving each client the personal attention that they deserve.  We make an effort to educate our clients in a variety of areas including retirement planning, estate planning, cash flow planning, insurance planning, and college planning.  Our services include tax returns for individuals, corporate, LLC, partnership, fiduciary, estate, and gift.  We also provide audit representation, tax planning, accounting services, and sale or purchase of a business.
 

Bernstein Financial Services was established in 1959 by Michael Bernstein's father Charles Bernstein.  Michael Bernstein joined Charles in 1986, and operated the tax and accounting business while Charles passed the bar and practiced law in our office.  Over the years our company has continued to grow, but we still adamantly promote our original goals of getting to know our clients and attention to detail.  Today, our staff of ten consists of four Tax Preparers, four accounting staff members, and two administrative staff members.

·   Email Can Turn Prospects and Visitors into Loyal Customers
Email marketing enables you to communicate with your existing customers instead of waiting for them to return to your Web site, visit your store or office, call you on the phone, etc. With email marketing you can solidify existing relationships, initiate new ones, and convert your one-time visitors, buyers, and members into repeat business and long-term customers or contributors.
        
·   Why Is Email Marketing the Answer?
Email marketing is one of the most powerful marketing tools available today. It is easy, affordable, direct, actionable, and highly effective. When you add email to your marketing mix, you spend less time, money, and resources than with traditional marketing vehicles (e.g. direct mail or print advertising). And, with email marketing, you can communicate more quickly, which means your time-sensitive information is disseminated in minutes, not days or weeks--and you can see the results of your efforts instantly.
     
Email marketing is at its most effective when used in communications to your existing customer list, or "house list," as a means of customer retention.
        
·  Communicate More Information More Often
Email marketing is an affordable way to stretch a tight marketing budget. It can cost as little as fractions of a penny per email! With a response rate five times greater than direct mail and 25 times the response rate of banner ads, email marketing is the most effective way to increase sales, drive traffic, and develop loyalty.
       
Your communications can include newsletters, preferred customer promotions, sale notifications, new service announcements, event invitations, holiday greetings, and much, much more.
·          
· Educate Your Customers
Information and education make your customers and prospects much more valuable because they are more likely to buy when they can make an informed decision. Why force prospects to look elsewhere for the important information they need? Your email communications can gently lead a prospect through the sales process, provide important data, and drive the prospect to your website for more details or a purchase.
       
·  Foster Long-lasting Relationships
Email is an easy and inexpensive way of establishing early and long lasting relationships with your prospects and customers. And the benefits of these relationships are far reaching. When you inform and educate prospects and customers, they begin to perceive you as capable of addressing
