2019 Our Year in Review

by | Dec 30, 2019 | Community, Team

What a Year it’s Been!

2019 has been an incredible year for the entire Senter crew; it’s been nothing short of amazing to grow so much as a firm and family. We’ve had an overwhelming response of encouragement and support from both new and existing clients who have helped us flourish as a firm. It’s certainly been an interesting year, though I wouldn’t expect anything less along the way. Most and best of all, 2019 has been a blast!

The Senter, CPA, P.C. Firm

We continue to strive to exceed expectations and we continue to pride ourselves in the services we offer. Candidly, the best results are achieved through the personal aspect of work, allowing us to serve our clients earnestly and efficiently.

In November, we expanded our practice by adding another rockstar to the Senter, CPA team, Kylie Harig. Please call or swing by our office to give her a warm welcome. However, in the meantime, you can expect that she will introduce herself in the coming days via our BLOG.

As a firm, we commit ourselves to growth and development within our industry. Over the course of 2019, we’ve attended a wide range of seminars, webinars and workshops, researched, and worked with our partners, which allows us to ensure that we are knowledgeable on tax law changes and best practices for our clients. In addition, we were fortunate enough to spend two days at MICPA’s Mangement and Business Information show and two days at the Michigan State University Income Tax school, as well at many other continuing education requirements through the year.

The Senter Family

The kids are growing like weeds; it’s always an interesting time at the Senter house! Cassie and I are alive and well despite all the chaos. No real changes for me, as I try to stay focused and hard at work. Cassie has started working from home to be with the kids more and it’s been a wonderful experience for us all. She is truly AMAZING and definitely the glue that keeps us together.

Boys will be boys and rest assured, they fight like cats and dogs. Ben, now 12, has taken a liking to music and is good at several instruments. Waylon is now 3, wild as ever, and will do anything for a laugh. After meeting him, you’d understand!

The biggest change to our household this year was finding out our daughter, Charlotte, has severe food and environmental allergies. Cassie and I have made big changes within our household, accompanied with several doctor’s visits to combat her allergies. For a gal who is only 1, it’s a big deal.

If you’re age 70½ or older and have a traditional IRA, you may have heard about Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) as a way to support your favorite charities while potentially reducing your tax bill.

Why and How We Assign Our Team to Your Account

At Senter CPA, we believe that great accounting isn’t just about numbers—it’s about relationships, communication, and expertise you can rely on. One of the questions we’re often asked is: “How do you decide who works on my account?” We love this question because it shows that clients value the people behind the work. So, here’s a look at why we assign the way we do, and how that benefits you directly.
