Listen "Susan Bryant, CPA - Is Your CPA a Trusted Advisor? How CPA's Help You Maximize Business Value with your Finances (#22)"
Episode Synopsis
Is your CPA a trusted advisor to you? They should be. In this episode, I'd like to welcome our guest Susan Bryant, CPA, who is a principal at the MB Group, a CPA firm, based in North Texas. I met Susan a few months ago in a professional networking group called ProVisors. Let me start out by saying that not all CPAs are cut from the same cloth. Some are bookkeepers, some do taxes, and then there are some who really look at accounting as a calling to help their clients be better. They take a surrogate CFO role in the businesses they serve, and they truly are trusted advisors. That’s how Susan and the MB Group work. I network with lots of CPAs because they are typically close to my prospective clients - business owners. I explain what we do, and offer my services for their clients thinking about transitioning their business. Susan is the first CPA who, after hearing what we do at Mastery Partners, who said “oh my gosh, my clients really need your help!” She really understands why every business owner needs to have a solid exit strategy.
