How Steve approaches work

“Listening to my client’s needs is the most important way I deliver the services a client really wants. I am opposed to providing clients with services that are unwarranted in order to generate higher fees. Instead, I identify opportunities for services that will help my clients improve their business, and therefore improve their bottom line. I believe all clients are important regardless of size or number of years in business. Every client deserves a quick, yet thoughtful response from their CPA according to their business needs.”

How does Steve Spend His Time Elsewhere

“I enjoy golfing, biking and traveling to warm destinations with my wife. I also enjoy reading books by Stephen King, Dean Kootz and John Saul. I serve as the Treasurer of the Edinburgh USA Pro-Am Foundation.”
