What can clients expect you to deliver?
"Clients can expect me to look at their situation as a whole, I'm not interested in just doing their tax return and moving on. I'm interested in looking to make sure that the structure is appropriate for them, that they've got a company, that that company is working for them in the right way. If not we'll have suggestions to do things a little bit differently."
