Acres of Diamonds” is a story that was purportedly recited more than 5,000 times by Russell Conwell, a Baptist Preacher.  The story is about a Turkish farmer, Ali Hafed, who sells his farm to pursue his fortune after becoming enthralled with a Buddhist priest who convinces him that diamonds hold the ultimate key to great power and wealth.   After many unsuccessful and exhaustive years searching the world for his “Acres of Diamonds” in frustration Ali Hafed throws himself into a river and is never to be seen or heard from again. While at the very same moment the man to whom he had sold his farm stumbles upon a huge diamond just beneath his feet as he walks in a garden planted years earlier by Hafed.

Had Hafed remained at home and in his own garden instead of trekking across strange lands only to endure hunger, pain and suffering he would have found his “acres of diamonds” which had been right under his feet all the time.

Most of us at one time or another have become Ali Hafed and have looked everywhere for success instead of looking for it right underneath our feet.   Today for many accountants across the country like Russell Nay, a sole practitioner based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, the Internet has become a personal ‘acres of diamonds’.   Nay says he has found success so close to home that he rarely ever has to leave the house except to meet new clients that are delivered directly to him by GoodAccountants.com through his laptop computer.   “I became a member of GoodAccountants.com on February 17th of this year and here it is March 20th and I’ve already received about $10,000 in potential billing and it has more than doubled the amount I paid in and things have been going very well,” says Nay

For accountants operating accounting practices that have fallen on hard times as a result of the current economic recession which has robbed them of as much as 30% to 40% of their client base the Internet may be the answer they’re looking for.   Increasingly plagued by slow payment from cash strapped clients along with the stress of long grueling hours that must be endured each tax season many accountants are looking for alternative ways to sustain their income year round.   Accountants who wish to attract new clients can do so by tapping into the ground swell of tens of thousands of key word searches that are conducted each month by business owners who search for local accountants throughout the year using the Internet.

GoodAccountants.com offers a cost-effective, high-tech solution for accountants who wish to expand, maintain or rebuild their client base and generate income year round through its new GA Access portal;  a new platform designed for accountants that delivers website users to them minutes after they request a referral from GoodAccountants.com.
