Straight Talk About Small Business Success in Denver, Colorado (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692404188)

Trey Horton is a CPA who loves seeing small business owners fulfill their dreams and become successful with their own business. His practice helps small business owners clear the hurdles they face in more than just tax and accounting issues. He wants to see small business owners accomplish their goals. He says: "I left a large corporate environment because I had my own dreams and aspirations of owning a business that would help other small business owners achieve their dreams and help individuals find financial success." One of the factors that makes Trey's practice stand out is a desire to educate clients about the opportunities they have to save money for retirement and reduce their taxes. He believes too many CPAs are transaction-oriented and just concerned about completing the tax return. He says, "It drives me crazy to see someone not take advantage of some of the easier tax breaks because they didn't truly understand how they work or were never told about them." Trey has been in public accounting for over 18 years and has had many clients whose business and financial successes have flourished. "I try to learn from my clients as well and they have taught me too many things for me to even list. Nothing makes me feel more like I have achieved my goal than when a client tells me "thank you" and says how much they appreciate all we have done for them. Every CPA should strive for that with every client." Married for more than 20 years, Trey has two young children and he tries to spend as much time with them as possible. "They teach me about life every day and remind me that life is so much more than just trying to be successful at work." He also enjoys golfing Colorado's great courses but doesn't get out on them nearly as much as he would like to. About the book, he says, "I hope every small business owner that reads my book will get at least one idea to help them clear a hurdle they are facing so they can continue down their path towards success." Trey believes that small businesses are the backbone of this nation and they can have a greater impact on our economy than larger corporations that continue to try and pay below minimum wage and reduce benefits to their employees.
