This can involve one on one training, video conferencing, phone calls or just question and answer sessions through email, text or the phone. Once a client is set up, they are given to one of our expert bookkeepers and overseen by an Accounting Manager with Scheduled meetings with the Partner assigned to the account to make sure the Financial Plan is on track.

How did you get started in this business?
I personally knew as a young teenager that I loved accounting and persued it from an early age. My husband, whom I met in college, was a military officer which led me to many states where I learned Accounting, Managing and Leadership from a wide variety of industries across the country. Having been on the Board of Directors for a Health Care Plan company and Controller for many other companies, led me to my current passion for Craeting a firm with a Virtual Niche. Here in Northern Virginia, I hired a CPA to work for a company I was contracted with and eventually became a Partner with his firm. Upon his retirement, I became the Principal Partner of SMB Advisors and lead a staff of 10 people serving 5 major industries.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Our specialties include Service-Based Businesses, Government Contractors, Small Business Contractors, Physicians, Non-Profits, and HOA's.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Our team enjoys the holidays and decorating our office. We have employees who dress up for Halloween and we have a fun christmas party at the end of the year. Every day is a fun adventure here at the office or working from home. Our CPA's travel to Nashville, TN next month to get extensive software and industry training to prepare for next year's tax season. We will be enjoying the Gaylord in style.
