This time of year, many small business and agency owners think about taxes, and I wanted to share my experience with an amazing accounting and tax professional, John Leland.
I’ve been working with John for 6 years, and in that time John has proven to not only understand the small business/entrepreneurship space, but the non-profit/church space as well. John’s company, The Honest Accountant, is a full-service CPA firm that provides expert services to founders and CEOs. This can range from entity creation to accounting system setups/clean-ups, monthly accounting work, outsourced CFO, taxes and more.
I recommend John Leland often; that’s the highest compliment I can give. If you’re looking for an accounting or tax professional, reach out to John. He’s the real deal.

Has this year been different so far from last year? Or more of the same? Are you breaking old habits and sticking with new ones?
How can you get out of your own way and take steps to become the leader that your team and your company need you to be? It’s not just going to happen. It takes intentionality. And that’s where coaching comes in.
As an Executive Coach specializing in Mindset and Leadership, I work with entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and C-suite leaders who want to become catalytic in their leadership. Through 1:1 coaching, my clients move from where they are (stuck) to where they want to be.
For May, I currently have availability to take on 2 new clients. I don’t accept every person who approaches me about coaching; in fact, I turn down those who I believe are not ready or a good fit for what I do. If you’d like to explore whether Executive Coaching is your next step toward the impact you want to make, let’s talk. No hard sales pitch. If it’s not right for both of us, I’ll tell you so. My goal is to help leaders get out of their own way, stop breaking their own businesses and teams, and move into being catalytic in their impact and their legacy. If you’re ready, book a time for us to talk.
