Everyone has a certain tolerance for risk. From free solo mountain climbers to work-from-home accountants, we all land somewhere on the spectrum. With a bachelor’s degree in finance, a QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification, and an admission to practice before the IRS as an Enrolled Agent, you might assume you know where I land… But I love risk! It’s the reason entrepreneurs disrupt established markets, it’s a critical feature of any high-return investment, and, above all, it makes the world a more interesting place. You simply can’t have innovation without risk. But – not all risk is equal. As wonderful as it is to start your own business or to cash in big on a winning stock, that excitement will fade quickly if you don’t have your ducks in a row. Financial disorganization and poor tax planning are the kinds of risks that offer zero reward. This is where I come in. My firm, Dubbels Bookkeeping & Tax, works tirelessly to ensure my clients waste no time slogging through books or struggling through tax returns. This leaves them with plenty of opportunity to take those calculated risks, while maintaining the peace of mind that the important things are accounted for.
