What Your CPA Wants You to Know
Podcast

Behind the micThe Best Finance Podcast for Beginners and Entrepreneurs
We grew our CPA firm quickly and realized that there were SO many business owners needing help and very little available firms! Many people we met with were starting business just like we had, but didn't know where to start with the paperwork.
Once we got them started, they all had the same big questions as their businesses began to grow.
How to hire employees
How to save for retirement
How to set up payroll
How to save taxes....???
We also saw many new businesses didn't have a big budget (if any) for accounting help, but still really needed help!
For that reason we created our guides packed with information all business owners need to know AND a podcast with FREE information!
