Approach
For Deborah, understanding what the client wants is the most important part of the relationship. Knowing what the client wants is the starting point for designing tax strategies and providing solutions which will also encompass what the client needs. Each client comes to the firm with unique issues … whether starting a new business, growing an existing company, looking for a succession plan, or needing tax representation. Her goal is to work with her client to provide tax planning and business advisory services to resolve issues before those issues become problems.
