Join us as we revisit this conversation from 2021!

For years Gabrielle has worked in accounting and perhaps has seen it all.  Therefore, it is no surprise when the conversation turns to providing quality services ethically, but what does that mean?

Take the time to listen in as Roger and Gabrielle discuss the role of the accountant and bookkeeper.

Understand how confidence and competence play into the equation and determine your success.

They also discuss how accounting is actually a people business.  The relationships we build with business owners are both personal and professional.  They need our help are want to ask “Therefore, what?”

Perhaps the unexpected insight from this conversation is that accounting can and should be “FUN”.
