A CPA’s role is to assist clients with their needs. Our objectivity encourages clients to share their problems and seek solutions with us. Sometimes our service provides the solution; sometimes other resources must be employed. Always, the objective is the best interest of the client.
Our business challenges us with continual education, communication, and growth opportunities. It requires flexibility, initiative, and creativity. My gratification with this work comes primarily from the people I encounter.
