I joined HS&S in 2013 because of the culture of teamwork and respect I felt when I met them. I’m proud to carry that tradition on to my clients and coworkers to this day. I strive to bring three things to every client relationship: knowledge, collaboration, and trust. Knowledge: I work with a wide variety of clients in the construction, student financial aid, nonprofit, and pension industries. My experience with entities both large and small gives me a deep well of experience on which to draw. I also pride myself on being able to make complex accounting accessible when needed.Collaboration: I am a trusted advisor to my clients and work hard to help them achieve their goals, but I am not their only advisor. I am part of a team with other professionals; lawyers, bankers, surety, etc. I work with these other trusted advisors to ensure transparency and consistency of advice across all disciplines.Trust: This above all else is the most important. Knowledge and collaboration are meaningless if clients don’t trust the person working with them. I work hard to build trust from the beginning so that when I give advice, my clients know it is because I have their best interest in mind. I go the extra mile to help my clients every time. If you love working with clients and solving complex problems, please make a connection. If you are a potential client that needs an accountant that is passionate about working for you, please contact me.ian@hss-cpas.com
