Amper, Politziner & Mattia
Most people and many businesses only think of their
accounting firm once or twice a year and then, only to run the numbers
for how they might impact taxes or the business itself. But clients
of Amper, Politziner & Mattia (AP&M) know that their accounting firm
goes beyond the traditional image that the industry has borne since
its inception. In fact, AP&M raises the bar on what an accounting
firm can and should be.
Founded in 1965, AP&M is the 33rd largest accounting and consulting
firm in the United States, with offices in New Jersey in Edison,
Princeton,
Flemington, and Wall Township. Originally founded as an accounting
& consulting firm for small to mid-size businesses, the tremendous
growth of AP&M directly reflects the growth of New Jersey businesses
today, particularly with the boon in technology business and, the
changes in the healthcare and service industry sectors, notes Philip
Politziner, President of Amper, Politziner, & Mattia.
"At AP&M, we have industry consultants and accountants dedicated
to assisting businesses with their specific technology needs, from
hardware and software to e-commerce strategies and security. We have
added a service group that meets the specialized needs of growing
technology companies, to go along with existing specialty groups in
manufacturing and distribution, healthcare, and emerging
business."
Politziner says. AP&M offers accounting and auditing, tax (state,
multi-state, federal, and international), and litigation support
services,
as well as management consulting, and business services consulting
to a broad range of industries.
"At AP&M," Politziner says, "we maintain a regional firm
atmosphere without the levels of bureaucracy which widen the gap
between
client and advisor. With a staff of 200, we are large enough to have
the resources and personnel to resolve the most complicated tax or
sophisticated auditing/accounting issue, but through our regional
offices, small enough to give clients the personal attention they
deserve.
"Though we’re an accounting firm, we’re about more than just
taxes.
We work with clients on all the issues affecting their businesses
to help them succeed. Contradictory to the image of traditional
accounting,
our philosophy is based on being able to see beyond the numbers,"
concludes Politziner.

Archer & Greiner
Ranked in the Top 20 law firms in the state, Archer
& Greiner has become one of the largest law firms in the state with
over 108 attorneys. "But," notes Richard M. Conley, Managing
Partner of the Princeton office, "We’re still growing."
Witness
the firm’s recent staff additions. "Our Princeton office has
quadrupled
its staff with the recent addition of attorneys Katharine Benesch
and Robert Fogg, specialists in the area of health care law, and state
and local Tax Specialist Jeffrey D. Gordon, formerly with McCarter
and English in Newark. Flemington has also added two more attorneys,
with more staff additions pending."
The firm’s strategic plan for growth complements its business
philosophy
of offering clients a single resource for expert legal guidance across
distinct areas of concentration. But it takes more than success in
the field to join the staff at Archer & Greiner. First and foremost,
it takes a commitment to serving the client and a desire for
unparalleled
success for the client, which inevitably translates into success for
the attorney and for the firm as a whole.
Recent successes for the firm include settling a tax case regarding
the Merrill Lynch headquarters complex in Plainsboro Township, an
$850,000 plus verdict from a Monmouth County jury, a precedent-setting
decision involving cloning of cellular telephones, and a $5.5 million
settlement of an action involving a fatal automobile accident
occurring
on Route 1 in Princeton. In addition, the firm’s success has garnered
industry recognition. Last year, Archer & Greiner attorneys were
listed
in The Best Lawyers in America, 1999-2000. In addition, New Jersey
Monthly noted attorneys Pete Driscoll, Steve Suflas, Lee Hymerling,
and Gary Lesneski as the top lawyers in NJ.
Says Conley, "Our attorneys are among the leaders in the legal
profession in our region." Past and present members include a
Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit,
a former Attorney General of the State of New Jersey, a former
President
of the New Jersey State Bar Association and Chairman of the New Jersey
Casino Control Commission, presidents of the Camden, Hunterdon and
Princeton Bar Associations, as well as numerous shareholders and
associates
who serve on various Supreme Court committees as well as the New
Jersey
and American Bar Associations.
Conley notes that the firm takes great pride in "a job well done.
Our win-loss record is only one indication of a quality working
relationship.
Clients have access to their attorneys and always receive prompt,
courteous responses to their questions and needs. And," adds Conley,
"our ratio of one partner per associate assures our clients that
when they hire a lawyer, they work with that lawyer and a well-trained
associate, not a team of recent law school graduates. We take pride
that our work is hands-on, not passed down."
Archer & Greiner has offices in Lawrenceville, Princeton,
Haddonfield,
and Flemington. The firm provides legal counseling in the areas of
corporate law, estates and trusts, labor law, litigation, matrimonial
law, real estate, with practice groups in the fields of banking,
bankruptcy
and creditors rights, computer and high technology, education,
environmental
law, health law, immigration, insurance, intellectual property, land
use and environmental permitting, media and communications, personal
injury litigation, public finance, real estate tax appeals, small
and family business, tax, and transactional real estate.

Churchill Corporate Services
In today’s housing market, properties sell very quickly.
So quickly, in fact, that unexpected complications may arise. Imagine
what you might do if you sold your property and found that your new
home was not yet ready to move into.
Fortunately, there is a unique business called Churchill Corporate
Services that would be able to help you out of your dilemma. Located
in Princeton, Churchill has over 20 years in the home and office
furniture
rental business. In 1996 Churchill recognized the need to provide
short term housing in a very tight rental market. Churchill Corporate
Services is the leading provider of furnished housing and furniture
rental in the tri-state area.
Arlene Goldberg, Corporate Account Executive at Churchill, works
together
with her associate Dolores DeLorenzo to accommodate the many needs
of their clients. "It’s amazing," says Goldberg, "one
day we might be helping to relocate an international employee of a
local business, the next day we could be furnishing a model home for
a construction company."
On average, most properties are leased for a minimum of three months
and a maximum of two years. "We are even able to produce that
rarity — a rental for only one month," says Goldberg. "The
sites come fully equipped, all the way from furniture, to linens,
to kitchenware. We have six office/showrooms in the tri-state area
and are especially excited about the Princeton showroom that we opened
in June of last year. The showroom is a fine example of what we
actually
provide in our rental units; some even describe the showroom as on
a par with a Bloomingdale’s display!"
Churchill Corporate Services can provide accommodations at 40% less
than hotel or suite expenditures, and all furniture collections are
available with the option to buy.

Employers Association of New Jersey:
The workplace is changing rapidly. Changing technology,
global competition, new management processes, downsizing and
outsourcing
considerations all require continuous improvement of human resource
practices and procedures. Moreover, state and federal employment laws
have transformed the workplace so that every employment decision has
become complex and risky. Established in 1916, the Employers
Association
of New Jersey (EANJ) is a nonprofit organization providing direct
and immediate assistance, information and advice to New Jersey
employers.
Over 1,000 employers, many of which have grown rapidly over the last
several years, enjoy the benefits of EANJ membership, representing
virtually every type of employer in every region of the state, from
the small, family-owned business to the multinational corporation.
EANJ’s professional staff helps its members solve their employee
relations
problems with a healthy dose of common sense, business savvy and legal
experience.
Regardless of the amount of time spent on addressing a specific
employee
relations issue or problem, each member receives prompt information
and guidance on personnel policies, benefits administration and human
resource practices from professionally staffed HelpLine. In 1999 the
EANJ HelpLine fielded over 6,000 telephone calls from members,
representing
inquiries on dozens of different topics. In each and every case,
members
received the collective experience of the entire EANJ membership to
guide them.
Members also receive a comprehensive Labor Law Compliance Manual that
is updated throughout the year. This $600 value is free with
membership.
Further, upon enrolling, members receive a free copy of EANJ’s latest
employment law publication, a 200-page book explaining the employment
law basics to managers and supervisors.
Remaining competitive means understanding the job market and setting
salaries and wages carefully. EANJ staff frequently collects wage
and salary data from its members. This data is organized and
supplemented,
resulting in a highly accurate source of wage and salary information.
This information is published free for members that participate in
the survey. For specific jobs, EANJ staff professionals conduct
special
research and benchmark surveys.
Also EANJ’s library contains hundreds of model human resource policies
that are customized to meet member needs. Each member also receives
research reports on a wide range of information related to human
resource
practices and benefits. Reports also summarize labor agreements from
member companies.
To help employers adapt and meet the needs of a rapidly changing
workplace,
monthly seminars are conducted on critical human resource and
employment
law issues. Expert trainers and educators are available to meet
specific
management and training needs by offering customized, on-site
programs.
Ongoing television broadcasts, conferences and publications examine
the employer-employee relationship in the contemporary workplace and
help employers forge a realistic partnership with their employees
based on mutual commitment and shared responsibility. Meetings allow
members to network and share "best practices" advice with
other employers.
EANJ members pay standard annual membership dues. Thereafter, dues
are calculated according to the size of the member company, based
on the total number of all hourly and salaries employees working at
every facility in New Jersey. For federal income tax purposes,
membership
dies paid to an employers’ association are deductible as a business
expense.
Enroll now and receive free the Rates of Pay Report, surveys of more
than 200 jobs in manufacturing and service industries in New Jersey;

relations
benchmark data, including alcohol and drug testing, overtime pay,

employment
at will.

King Interests:
Landmark Projects
With an affinity for long-term, ongoing real estate
partnerships, a commitment to exceeding the expectations of their
clients, and an uncompromising dedication to the highest quality in
workmanship and materials, the professionals at King Interests have
been quietly carving a niche in the Princeton area as a full-service
real estate firm for a discriminating and demanding clientele.
The company’s range of turnkey real estate services — development,
construction, leasing, management, and financing — are appropriate
both for fast-growing companies with expanding real estate
requirements
and for those simply seeking the highest level of personalized
attention
and professionalism for any real estate matter.
For King, longstanding client relationships are a natural result of
the company’s service-oriented philosophy. "We believe that by
serving the interests of our clients first, the success of our own
firm will follow," says William F. King III, President and Chief
Executive Officer.
Reflecting King’s own high standards of achievement, the company’s
roster of influential clients and landmark projects showcase a vision
that ventures beyond commercial real estate’s conventional parameters.
King acts as the real estate arm for two of Princeton’s
fastest-growing
technology-based companies, RCN Corporation and PharmaNet, Inc. And,
in a relationship built on an unusually high level of trust, King
represents the real estate interests of Topton, PA-based Lutheran
Services Northeast, a major church sponsored services organization.
One of King’s most challenging and intriguing projects was leading
the development and construction of a new headquarters for the
prestigious
Atlantic Foundation, headed by J. Seward Johnson. Recently completed
and sited on Hamilton’s Grounds for Sculpture, the facility replicates
an 18th-century Belgian village. The project also included
construction
of a new world-class restaurant, called "Rats."
Bill King, trained as an architectural engineer, has more than twenty
years of commercial real estate experience, starting with his first
job heading the construction team of the famed Jasna Polana estate
and leading up to positions such as partner in charge of construction
for the award-winning Carnegie Center business park. Mr. King was
also development partner for East Brunswick’s Tower Center, a
high-profile
office and hotel complex.
King Interest’s current ventures include two key projects that lie
in RCN’s future. King has been conducting the site selection process
for a new one million square-foot headquarters for the fast-growing
company. King Interests has likewise led the search for several
hundred
acres that will be home to a new $12 million training facility for
RCN.
For Pharmanet, the company is leasing office space throughout the
country as that firm expands its operations. And finally, King has
begun laying the groundwork for several innovative, large scale
development
projects for its own investment portfolio.
King Interests, headquartered in Princeton, is a full-service real
estate company that purchases, designs, constructs, manages and leases
properties for clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic area. With more
than 25 years of experience, King Interests has been associated with
premier and award-winning commercial projects throughout its market
area.

New Horizons:
Computer Training
You spent unprecedented amounts of money to make sure
that your existing computers were up and running on January 1st. Maybe
you even ended up purchasing completely new computer networks in
preparation
for the event. In any case, you survived the Y2K scare, and
congratulations
are in order. It is now up to you to make sure that those technology
dollars were not spent in vain. Here are the facts that face the
average
IT manager today: According to a Gartner group study, over 80% of
today’s jobs are computer related, and this number grows every year.
In addition to that, the shortage of the qualified computer employees
in America is in the millions. Even if companies are lucky enough
to have the people they need, the knowledge simply isn’t there. It
has been estimated that the average employee utilizes only 25% of
their computer’s capabilities.
It may seem like a depressing situation, but there is a solution to
this problem. New Horizons Computer Learning Center has been operating
in their Princeton location since January 4, 1999. Since that opening
day, it has been their goal to make sure businesses get the biggest
return on their computer investment dollar through the latest in
innovative
training solutions. The lure of E-commerce is very strong. Many
companies
already do business on the internet, and more hope to follow suit.
Now more than ever there is a need for qualified people to make that
transition.
To fill that need, New Horizons offers the Certified Internet
Webmaster
(CIW) accreditation. It allows individuals to learn the skills
necessary
to deploy E-business solutions and provides area employers with a
standard for judging expertise in a broad range of Internet
technologies.
Many local businesses are using Microsoft products to fulfill their
networking, database, and programming needs. The products are changing
rapidly, and it will be necessary to keep the engineers, technicians
and programmers up to date on the latest product updates. New Horizons
is the area’s premier Microsoft Certified Technical Education Center
(CTEC.) As a Microsoft authorized center, customers can be assured
that certified instructors are teaching from the latest authorized
materials that meet stringent Microsoft requirements.
New Horizons is already qualified to offer training on the latest
certifications in Windows 2000 as well as NT 4.0, Visual Basic, SQL
Server, and others. For those IT managers who understand the need
to train their people, but can’t afford to let their people take
valuable
time away to do it, there is an answer.
The latest training trend for this scenario is Web-Based Training
(WBT), which complements the more traditional Instructor-Led Training
with a learning option that makes the boundaries of time and location
irrelevant. Students will be able to learn the latest technologies
at their own pace without giving up the personalized service found
in an instructor led course. For the managers, a comprehensive student
tracking system enables tracking their employees’ progress in the
program. In a time-crunched computer industry such as this, WBT
represents
an emerging trend in computer training. For more information, call
609-452-9770 or see the company’s website at www.nhprinceton.com.

New Media Partners
With the proliferation of MicroSoft products in today’s
business environment, it’s no secret that PowerPoint has become the
application of choice for designing a multi-media presentation.
"Most
people are comfortable with basic PowerPoint procedures, but run into
difficulty when they attempt more complicated techniques," notes
Gary LaSasso, president and co-founder of New Media Partners.
"New Media Partners helps clients take their presentations to
the next level by adding the pizzazz of such things as 3D animated
logos, videos, and interactivity," says Mike Gallagher, Vice
President
and co-founder. "With New Media Partners, businesses get features
out of PowerPoint that most people don’t know even exists." It’s
hard for people to visualize what they cannot see, but with over 10
years experience in the industry helping small to large businesses
take the stress out of dealing with these often pivotal and critical
presentations, LaSasso, Gallagher and their experienced staff can
help clients create a unique and high impact presentation.
Throughout a project, New Media Partners’ staff meets with the client
for original input meetings and project reviews. And today’s
technology
of E-Mail, the Internet, and PDF files, make the relationship and
service expedient with the information available to the client at
the click of a mouse. It doesn’t end there. New Media Partners doesn’t
leave clients on their own with the finished presentation. From sales
meetings to product launches and special events, New Media Partners
help clients take the show on the road by setting up all audio/visual
requirements, as well as presenting any printed collateral materials
(such as high-quality color prints, overheads, and 35MM slides)
associated
with the presentation through New Media Partners’ exclusive digital
service bureau.
An example of the benefit of such a client arrangement is a
pharmaceutical
client. This past November, New Media Partners went to Copenhagen
to assist the client with its presentations for a conference on
asthma.
New Media Partners set up an audience response system so that after
each one of the 10 presentations, the presenter was able to have an
interactive poll with the audience. Using a wireless system with a
keypad at each seat, the audience was able to give an immediate
on-screen
response.
Another innovation used by New Media Partners is a PowerPoint database
library. The Web-based application allows clients to download
presentations
and updates from the comfort of their own desk. The application also
allows the client to customize a new presentation by mixing and
matching
from various presentations, thereby customizing to fit the various
situations.
For a stress free, flawless on-site presentation, give New Media
Partners
a call.
