Press Release Summary: Accountant Darrel Hawes announces interactive accounting
education with his new site, BasicAccountingforSmallBusiness.com.

Press Release Body: Spokane, WA, November 27, 2007 - Darrel Hawes knows that most
small business owners don't have time to pursue a degree in accounting before they
start their small business. Consequently, they often struggle with bookkeeping and
other financial matters and often never reconcile their accounts.

Hawes, an accountant who resides near Spokane, Washington, saw the need and created
an interactive website to provide a solution to the problem.

"I realize that not everyone can get an accounting degree before they jump into
business. I'm not sure it's even necessary," says Hawes, father of eight. "That's
why I wanted to create an option so that anyone who wanted to start a home business
could find the answers at one online source. Our site is that source."

Several years ago, Hawes decided to leave the corporate workforce to pursue his own
business, as so many entrepreneurs desire to do. With the birth of each of his
children, his conviction to be home with his wife and family grew stronger and
stronger. Earlier this year, he partnered with entrepreneur and homeschool mom of
seven, Rhea Perry, to create a site that would offer practical real world education
for small business owners and students.

Hawes offers many resources on his website to assist his members. He has created
calculators, a download library, a tax reminder service, and has written many
articles, such as "5 Reasons Why Now is the Perfect Time to Start (or Stay in) Your
Own Business." An interactive forum gives members almost instant answers to any
question related to the accounting aspect of small business and guest experts have
been invited to provide expertise in other related areas.

"It's a dream come true for many small business owners who can't afford to retain a
bookkeeper or an accountant when they're just getting started," says partner Rhea
Perry, who operates a successful online business from her farm in Tennessee.

Hawes plans to include his teenagers in the operation of the site as part of their
practical high school education. "The whole idea behind educating our children to
build their own businesses is that an online business can be managed from home and
the family can be involved," says Hawes.

With more and more workers losing their jobs every day, employees are turning to the
Internet to create their own sources of income. No longer can many of them rely on
the traditional company to provide for their financial security. As more small
businesses develop, owners will need financial education they may not have acquired
in school. Hawes and his family plan to provide quality information to help small
business owners find the quick answers they need to the common problems of business
so they can focus on what's important: building a successful business.

www.BasicAccountingforSmallBusiness.com is a website that provides its members with
almost instant answers to the basic accounting questions that most entrepreneurs
have concerning small business.

essentials needed to operate a successful business. To get answers to your basic
