Overview
Gafar founded GS & Company, CPA in 2014 with the clear purpose of equipping Entrepreneurs, Independent Medical Professionals and Creatives with the clear financial perspective and resources they need to grow wealth and operate profitable businesses. “At GS & Company, CPA, our goal as your quarterback and trusted advisor is to help you discover unique value-added perspectives and solutions” Gafar aspired to become a CPA from an early age while watching his Dad (a Pharmacist) build an award-winning manufacturing company. At 17, he watched his Father undergo a grueling cross-examination in a court case filed against a bank to defend his dream, assets, employees and the families they provide for – an experience Gafar credits for defining his values in his practice of accounting. He understands that entrepreneurs work hard every day to build the business of their dreams, and that they can only be truly profitable and competitive by focusing on their core competencies, while having the correct metrics, facts and figures to make the best-informed business decisions. He also believes everyone should have the right to protect what is rightfully theirs for keeps and growth, and a fair chance to demonstrate good faith to course-correct in a moment of crisis.
