Inc. magazine has revealed that ERA Central Realty Group is No. 3,574 on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses.
“Being recognized by Inc. magazine is quite an achievement. The real estate agents of our six branch offices in central New Jersey put all their effort into being knowledgeable, trusted advisers while staying on the cutting edge of a very competitive industry, while the managers and staff provide unparalleled support to the agents and to the company as a whole. I am so proud of our team,” said Stephanie Bellanova, managing partner.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax assistance program. In tax year 2017 the Monmouth district provided tax preparation services at 11 sites and prepared more than 4,000 federal tax returns, essentially all of which also included a New Jersey return. Volunteers are needed for the following roles: counselors work directly with taxpayers to prepare tax returns using on-line software; client facilitators welcome taxpayers, help organize their paperwork and manage the overall flow of service; technology coordinators manage computer equipment, ensure taxpayer data is secure and provide technical assistance to volunteers. AARP membership is not required of volunteers or clients. Tax training starts in November. Prospective volunteers may email [email protected] for additional information.
