Our values

Clear, practical, and focused on what really matters to you.

Dealing with taxes and finances can feel overwhelming. That’s why the firm is built around four principles.

  1. Long-Term Thinking

    We take the time to set up systems that actually work, not patch jobs that cause problems later. Our goal is to support your financial success for years to come, with relationships built to last.

  2. Automation, Automation, Automation!

    Why waste time on repetitive tasks? We leverage the latest technology to cut out data entry and free up more time for strategic planning. That means better results for you, with less stress.

  3. Work/Life Balance

    We believe work should serve life, not take it over. By helping our clients and our team work efficiently, we make room for the time that matters most: time at home, with family, or simply away from the desk.

  4. Blame the Process, Not the Person

    When something goes wrong, it’s usually the process, not the person. We focus on fixing the system without blame, which makes it easier to solve problems and move forward.

You need more time in your day.

Andrew Schachtner, CPA

Dear Friend,

I have a feeling I know why you’re reading this right now.

Running a business is extremely demanding and there just isn’t enough time in the day to keep all the plates from spinning out of control. What you need most right now is more proactive help: the benefit of business advising to straighten up your business finances and tax strategy. As soon as possible.

Perhaps you’ve reached a stage where you want to pass the baton of accounting to another expert team, so your team can focus on what they do best: making sales and taking care of customers. Or perhaps you’re just starting your business and want to begin on the right foot.

Regular business owners are missing out on legal and safe deductions every year. It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety over the state of your books.

Feel free to poke around and discover why I’ve been called “The Most Trusted CPA in the Louisville Area.”

Talk again soon,
Andrew Schachtner, CPA
