A CPA is like your emergency contact. You know the one in the group that’s super responsible, reliable, and will always support you. That’s definitely the person I want called after getting hit by a NYC MTA bus. Legal problems? Best leave that to the lawyers. Dating woes? That’s a job for Mom. Medical? A doctor of course. But for everything else, a CPA is normally high on the most-called-people list for your personal and business needs. If it has a number in it, good chances you’ll think to call your CPA fore solutions. Numbers don’t scare us! We wrangle up those numbers like a lasso contest at the local rodeo, but switch the rope for a gigantic printing calculator. Have you ever seen one of things?? We got a bunch and they’re awesome. Sometimes we take those paper strips, frame them and give them as gifts to our clients. After a tax season we have enough calculator paper to wallpaper our entire Florida Office. And on Halloween we take the extra paper rolls and throw them on the Office buildings of competing accounting firms and corporate finance companies to let them know who’s boss. Not really, but that would be kinda great.
The explosion of the digital age and cloud-based apps has been incredible. There is more exposure to financial market information and entire industries are rethinking how money plays a role in their business. Integration is streamlining every aspect of our daily lives across every vertical, horizontal and diagonal.
Critics thought that finance software service platforms like TurboTax would kill the accounting firm; that Quickbooks Online would make bookkeepers and business finance consulting services obsolete. Those predictions really missed the mark (at least for the time being.) There is no debate automation and machine learning are making amazing achievements in the accounting industry. Many of them are absolutely disruptive to corporate finance advisory firms. But they still have issues. These tools have not killed “the accountant”, nay, it’s breeding the CPA of the Future. It’s evolution at work for corporate finance help. If you don’t adapt, you’re dead. That view is true in life and business.
Our ability to learn and leverage these incredible tools allows us to provide a level of efficiency and accuracy at speeds never before imagined. It’s speed meets scale meets quality. Other corporate finance consulting firms simply can’t match it. And most importantly, with Carson & Co, CPAs, we use many of the same tools that you run your own business on. That means we have insights on how to communicate accounting in a language that companies and their management can understand. It means we don’t just understand the business environment at your company, we’re very much living it with you. That’s a level of expertise beyond normal corporate finance advisory services.
But the most, most, most important piece of the puzzle, and this is Carson & Co secret, we don’t sacrifice the human element. We understand that equity is at play: Not everyone is born with a god-given gift of bank reconciliations, capital tracking, and adjusting entries. And with great power comes great responsibility to help you learn the skills you need to be successful. Consulting finance experts like Carson & Co, CPAs ensures that you have the help you need while maintaining the personal relationship that can’t be had with the big corporate finance firms.
