Why choose EAS for your Accounting, Advisory or Tax needs?

First and foremost, it’s because we strive to understand your business better than other traditional Accounting, Advisory or Tax Firms.

To truly be effective and make a difference, an Accounting, Advisory or Tax Firm needs to understand how your business functions. How you earn your revenue, your costs, and the unique ways in which you operate.

Maybe you have multiple entities that transact business with each other (related parties). Or, you have multiple independent revenue streams from various products or services and you’re trying to determine the return on sales for each of these inflows and that requires you to separate your costs to make a reasonably accurate comparison. 

Understanding your business helps you, the Client in other ways. Time is always money and well prepared, well-versed Accountants and Tax Pros can solve issues, quickly without being re-acquainted with any of the specifics of your business. In addition, Firms that take an integrated approach to solving Client problems, will understand the ramifications of making decisions (upstream) like Accounting treatments that will impact tax positions that can be taken (downstream). 

Accountant’s or Tax Pro’s with a firm grasp on how your business operates enables them to apply their knowledge of Accounting, Finance and Tax Law in ways that will yield the biggest positive impact to your company to help you (the Client) identify ways to earn more and keep more of what you earn. 

Every Accounting/CPA Firm claims they’re different. 

So, ok, what makes us a unique, specialty Firm?

We’ll provide specifics – It’s how we start our dialogue with you from the first phone call.

When Prospects ask us – Why should we (the Prospect) consider EAS? We tell Prospects that we:

1. Start every engagement by gaining an understanding of your business and “dimensioning” the type and “size” of the issues/problems that you face.
2. Will give you suggestions or recommendations (if appropriate) during this initial phase, so you can decide if this something you want to pursue. 
3. Actively listen as to how Client’s respond to our questions that answer – can we work together? Conversations should flow, not feel like a visit to the Dentist.  

It’s about Relationships: 

Our goal is to create the kind of relationship where both parties will benefit. Serious business owners want Accountant’s that act in an Advisory capacity to help them make progress, and we derive satisfaction knowing that we’ve disabled roadblocks and impediments to enable that progress.

We view the relationship as a means of helping Clients achieve transformational progress that people can readily see, not by reading financial statements.

Traditional Accounting/CPA Firms Approach: 

In contrast, traditional Accounting/CPA/Tax Firms start by thinking of their end game – They ask themselves, to what extent can we monetize this Prospect? They do this before trying to gain any understanding of what the Prospect is facing and asking themselves if they have the experience or expertise to solve it.

This is (often) exemplified in cumbersome, unnecessarily complex onboarding processes, and restrictions after prospects become Clients, because these Firms use this to,

1. Control the relationship and,
2. Manufacture an impression that value is being created.

• We’re problem and results focused – to create value.
• Traditional Firms focus on extracting value.

That’s our difference.

Further, Why choose EAS for your business?

Our services are integrated. This means that as the details of your records and transactions become more apparent, we can suggest ways to create more value for your business through simplifying your processes, identifying savings on operating expenses or ways to mitigate and reduce your tax obligations.

For example, Should you title a vehicle in the business’s name? There are tax consequences to this decision involving the IRS treatment of Actual vs. a Standard Mileage Deduction that can potentially save an Owner hundreds, if not thousands in taxes over the life of the asset used in a business.

Another example involves buying vs. leasing arrangements, where the total cost of an asset’s use is compared. If an asset has a “lease to own agreement,” then the total costs to lease/own and operate an asset are compared to the total benefits (including taxable benefits, like depreciation, interest costs, maintenance expenses versus the expense of a traditional lease arrangement over the expected usage of the asset.

Not convinced, good. We like skeptics. 

Additionally, Our size and structure assures that you (the Client) is getting the kind of value that larger firms can’t match because their overhead guarantees a higher price for comparable services. As an Independent Contractor, we’re also more cost effective than hiring employee(s) with the added costs from payroll and benefits. 

Moreover, We care about you as our Client beyond our engagement agreement. If we see something (that we think you need to know), regardless of whether it’s part of our agreement or not, we’re going to tell you and we’re going to help you address it. We pride ourselves in delivering top notch customer service – it’s what further differentiates us from other Practices.  

No fancy third-party Apps, artificial intelligence, slick marketing copy or shiny baubles can replace a knowledgeable and skilled Accountant with the resolve and talent to help you solve your biggest financial issues. This is what separates good and great Accountants and Tax Practitioners from average ones, mainly concerned with compliance.

In Summary, you can hire a large Accounting Firm (with a shiny office and a lot of overhead), but we can promise –

1. You won’t get a better outcome,

2. You won’t get better service,

3. But you will pay more.
