Why I Chose To Be An Accountant In Clarkston, Michigan

by | Jul 28, 2020 | Community, Team

The reason I chose to become an accountant in Clarkson, Michigan was due to my family, which consists of my beautiful wife, Cassie, and our three children, Ben (12), Waylon (4) and Charlotte (2); you can imagine how much they all mean to me.

As many of you already know, or if you have been to our office, you know I am a Tennessee guy through and through. Ironically, I met my wife, Cassie, a Michigan native, in Tennessee back in 2009. After consideration, we ultimately decided that we wanted to grow our family in her home state and moved to Michigan in 2012. We moved to Waterford first, then shortly thereafter bought our home in Clarkston. I was commuting to and from the Birmingham/Southfield area daily. When I decided to start my own firm, I knew it had to be where we lived. Not only did I want to contribute to the same community which we were raising our family, but I also wanted to lessen the burden of the commute, allowing me more time and flexibility with my loved ones. My family gets to be at my side for continuous support and my kids learn the value of hard work and determination. So here we are, raising our family and serving the same community which provides us home. I appreciate and have loved every minute of the journey thus far.

Senter Forward: The Kind of Client Relationship We Want to Build

I will start with something that may sound strange coming from a CPA firm: we are not trying to take every piece of work that walks through the door.
We have reached a point where the question is less “Can we prepare this return?” and more “Can we build a relationship here where our team can actually help?” That difference matters.
