    Values I live by

    01

    Be attentive

    I actively listen and never rely on assumptions. If there is anything unclear, I believe in open dialogue until we clearly understand what we need to solve.

    02

    Have integrity

    We all have the right to be respected. I treat all my clients with the utmost care and respect. I promise to complete my work diligently and competently. If there are any misunderstandings or mistakes, I will be the first to own up to them.

    03

    Be prompt

    The last thing you need is a non-responsive advisor. I promise to acknowledge all of your communication, be it by phone, email, text, or otherwise, within 24 hours of receipt.

    04

    Be genuine

    The best working relationships begin with aligned values. I do my best work when given the freedom to be open and honest. I expect the same from my clients. The best ones are willing to let trusted advisors be a part of the solution to their problems.

    05

    Be honest

    I conduct all of my work with honesty and adherence to the law. I do not exaggerate or promise to deliver something I know I cannot do.

    If an external advisor or specialist is required for our work, I rely on my network of professionals to provide further clarification and insight.

    06

    Be insightful

    As professional CPAs, we are responsible for going beyond the surface of a financial report or tax return. We provide clarity and insight to help you make your informed strategic decisions.
