Is Your Accountant ProActive or ReActive?
If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, or real estate investor, you need an accountant to serve as your strategic partner, not just your bean counter! As a proactive accountant, we work side by side with the owner, collaboratively, to help grow your business. A proactive accountant is an adviser that is looking for opportunities to position the company for profitability, tax savings, expense reduction, and more.
A proactive accountant addresses the client’s needs before they become urgent issues. As a business owner, the difference between a proactive or reactive accountant could mean the difference between success and failure. Are you working with a proactive accountant?
