Our
Business Model
J. R.
Cobern, CPA is a sole-proprietorship, one-CPA company. That’s not too
uncommon...there are thousands of individual CPAs in the U.S. that have their
own company. But my company isn’t your typical public accounting
firm. I don’t have a fancy downtown office, and I don’t keep normal
business hours. Since 1987, I've provided personalized services to a small group of families and businesses.
I
really can't overemphasize this point. My business is built
around providing individual service to individual clients. I want
to get to know each of my clients well, so I can provide them with
timely, professional financial advice and services based on their
unique situation.
I
do not limit my practice to serving only certain types of customers;
however, most of my clients are either business owners or
executives and their families. I am also proud to work with
several families who do not currently fit into one of these categories,
but who, for various reasons, need the help of a qualified CPA.
Over the
years, I’ve learned that most business owners and executives spend their days serving
their customers...and they don’t always have time to meet with an 8 to 5
accountant. So I meet with many of my clients during the evening hours or on
weekends. Of course, I also meet with clients during
“normal” business hours... and hardly a week goes by that I don't meet at least one client for lunch or breakfast.
That's basically it. I am a full time certified public accountant - providing a broad range of personalized
professional services to a small group of successful individuals and their small to medium sized
businesses. I also supplement my capabilities by utilizing a trusted network of
bookkeepers, attorneys, investment advisors, and other CPAs that I’ve known and
worked with for years.
