It’s time to breathe easier and relax. Let’s organize your books.
The problem with most accounting firms
Accountants and bookkeepers usually spend more time working with numbers than people.
For many, it’s a natural choice. They’re usually more gifted when it comes to using logic and analysis than they are having conversations.
That means accountants usually get accustomed to sending their clients a long list of things they need, and give them deadlines for when they need them. If you don’t get your materials in by a certain date, you’ll typically get a reactive response that your taxes and reports simply won’t get done on time.
What’s more, accountants routinely dictate when you can communicate with them and how to do so. Some CPAs require conversations only happen through specialized software you may not be familiar with.
These types of interactions can contribute to a cold, transactional, automated experience. They also contribute to feelings of indifference and insensitivity. As a result, the quality of your life can suffer as you grapple with uncertainty around your finances.
CenterFocus is humanizing accounting
Humanized accounting starts by recognizing there is a powerful connection between you, your business, and your finances. Sometimes it’s emotional.
We honor that connection by taking time to build relationships based on respect and trust. One of our most important goals aside from providing financial clarity and guidance, is to make sure you feel safe and supported.
At CenterFocus, right when you begin working with us, you’ll experience an authentic human connection. We’ll meet you on your level.
We offer safety, acceptance, and expertise and are serious about it. It doesn’t matter what kinds of questions you may have related to accounting, or otherwise. There is no judgment here. No stupid questions.

Proactive communication on your terms
When you move forward with us, we honor the opportunity to be your service. You can look forward to our flexibility to work with you the way you prefer.
We have multiple options for you to first connect with us for a human connection: over the phone, a video meeting, or soon – in person.
If you’re an email person, once we’ve developed an understanding of what kinds of accounting services would be most helpful, we’ll work primarily through email.
If you prefer video chats with screen sharing, we’ll use Zoom together. If you prefer to connect with us mostly over the phone, we also have a phone. We’ll provide guidance and insights to you in that way instead.
If you’re someone who struggles to gather and organize records, bank statements, and reports, we’ll schedule special regular accountability sessions. We’ll make sure you’re able to get us what we need in time to avoid fees and make sure your books are well organized.
Since we’re proactive about communicating, there aren’t going to be any more surprises come tax time. You deserve understanding and competent professionals who can guide you through the process with kindness and compassion instead of indifference and insensitivity.
