Christi's Philosophy

  1. I think taxes are a royal pain in the butt.  I also think they are how we support our communities and nation. I generally define them as "little numbers in little boxes about shit that already happened".
     

  2. I think paying our fair share is what we should all want to do if we want to drive on roads, eat food that isn't (intentionally) harmful and have clean water, not to mention a few other larger benefits.
     

  3. I don't think people should pay more than their fair share.  Use the code to your advantage. Invest in Real Tax Planning if it makes sense.
     

  4. I like to use taxes as the platform to have some REAL conversations about our lives. Money and life are intertwined. Own one and you own the other. Owning your life is a very good thing.
     

  5. Talking about the past is necessary, but seriously - we live in the present and looking forward is way more fun. Review the past if it is useful, applaud your accomplishments in the present and build a great future.
     

  6. I am a total No BS kind of person. I don't sugar coat it.  I won't hide from the reality of the situation. I walk into the fire. I want you to be bold and walk with me.
     

  7. I believe that educating people about their finances is right on point with educating them about themselves. Facing money is not comfortable for most people... but we rarely grow by taking the easy path only.
     

  8. I believe we work to live a certain kind of life. We do NOT have a life to work.  To that end I take 10 weeks a year off.  I am not always immediately accessible. I walk my talk when it comes to living the life you want.
     

  9. I believe everyone should invest in themselves. That comes in all forms. Surrounding yourself with people who push you out of your comfort zone is often an investment. I like to be one of those people.
     

  10. The cornerstone of my philosophy is that Personal Responsibility and Being Self Sufficient are the Foundation of a Free and Happy Life.  If you are ready to be personally responsible you are going to love me.

 

I incorporate this philosophy into every client relationship I have.  Some clients dive in and we go deep. Other clients take their time building up the courage to look beyond just their W-2 and 1040. I will match you where you are, so if you're just starting to think this may be great, but aren't sure, please don't hide.... come on in and find out!

My A+ clients realize I help them transform their power surrounding money.  As they take responsibility for their money and improve their relationship with it they start to Own. Their. Life.  and that's when cool things can happen.

Money holds a charge for people and through the tax process I become one of the very few people to have real insight to your situation. I also have the professional knowledge to help you immediately. And by immediate help, I mean keep you out of trouble and put more money into your pocket, starting now.

Be warned: I am a total No crap kind of person. No victims allowed. No excuses tolerated.  You may have some reasons for why things are the way they are - but those reasons are in the past and from this point forward you must be willing to own your actions.  We don't have a lot of time together (unless you are in one of my annual support programs) so we need to go deep and talk about the important stuff now. Right now.  You’re going to be educated about some technical tax stuff and to experience new levels of personal responsibility. This may be scary – but that’s good.  If you’re scared you’re shifting and that’s when life changes.  

Clients that work with me report they:

  • Get their money in order

  • Get out of debt

  • Go on vacation

  • Start a college or retirement savings plan

  • Get their will and legal documents updated

  • Build the business they wanted 

  • Become a better role model for their kids

  • Set healthy boundaries

  • Renegotiate their marriage

  • Share their feelings more openly

  • Rediscover hobbies

  • Even lose weight

Together we will have some tough conversations (tissues will be provided if necessary). For the client who is ready, these conversations may be life altering.  They will absolutely be interesting.

My CPA really stands for Courageous People Attractor!  If you are ready for some big changes then book a consultation with me.  This will be a paid consultation. I walk my talk and I encourage all my clients to value their knowledge and their time.  Free time should be spent pursuing dreams, with family and friends and feeding your soul. My consultations are, as one client just said, "Full of Inspiration, Education and Motivation".  See you soon!
