My vision of my business’s future an accounting practice where we are all very knowledgeable about our customers and our customer’s businesses. I do not want to be a volume business, but a business where relationships matter. We want to know our customers and for them to know us. I would love for us to be able to spot a problem and offer solutions to our customers in real time.

Being the best accountant you can be will be determined by the relationships you build. Only by having that relationship with your customers and other professionals can you really aspire to be the trusted advisor. On the surface it may be numbers, but to do your job correctly it is about the people you help.

My community activites include participating in several breast cancer walks for Susan G Komen. I lost my mom to breast cancer. I have participated in school supply drives through the Fort Worth Chapter of CPAs.
