Craig is an expert in helping his clients legally reduce their tax liabilities and keep more of their money. This week, we’re revisiting a research study conducted about a year ago where participants asked some intriguing questions. We’ll pick out a few of those questions and discuss them more in-depth. The most common questions we had all boiled down to one answer: communication. Regular communication, at least monthly, between a business owner and their CPA allows the CPA to truly understand the owner’s personal financial goals, growth goals, and exit/transition plans. Don’t treat your CPA relationship as just a once-a-year tax filing — make it an ongoing advisory partnership to receive the best advice and money-saving results that you expect. What you will learn in this episode: What clients want from a CPA relationship Knowing your growth and transition goals How to have a CPA who will ask you questions about your goals Communication goes both ways Giving your CPA 60-90 days to fully understand your business Resources: Website:&amp;nbsp;www.craigcodyandcompany.com Twitter:&amp;nbsp;@CraigC2742 LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigcodycpa The Progressive Agency Podcast http://theprogressiveagency.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/31037553/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/31037553
