Plan Ahead
As the founder and principal of Russo CPA , P . C , Bob pleasantly surprises clients ( plus the IRS and lawyers ) with his proactive , caring , and interested approach . Bob ’ s authentic passion for both numbers and people is why his accounting firm is sought after by everyone from solopreneurs to CFOs . And it ’ s what energizes his fast­growing team of top CPAs who follow his lead by providing impeccable service to clients – without the CPA geek speak .
The only thing geeky about Bob is his favorite reading material : the latest tax regulations , codes , and rulings ( so he can secure every possible tax advantage for his clients ). You might mistake Bob for the charismatic entrepreneur and CFO behind an internet travel startup or a visionary real estate developer . That ’ s because he held those roles during his 30­year career as an accountant , which began at a high­profile accounting firm . While CPAs aren ’ t required to have “ field ” experience , the best ones do . But Bob doesn ’ t define success by his own achievements , it ’ s what he achieves for his clients . Because of his entrepreneurial past , Bob relates so well to his clients . In addition to serious tax savings most firms would miss , he empowers his clients with real­world accounting and financial insights to increase business .
Bob is even results­driven outside of work , whether it ’ s finishing the 2012 NYC Iron Man or volunteering for 12 years as President of a kids ’ soccer league . While his bottom­line results are always impressive , what matters to Bob are the people who benefit from them .
When he ’ s not immersed in accounting , Bob is with his family , cooking up elaborate 18­course meals or globetrotting . your comments .
