What unique talents/traits do each of you bring to the partnership?
While I bring over 40 years of accounting knowledge and firm leadership to the table, Robby has been instrumental in growing the firm and expanding into niches such as the dental market. He has really helped to keep the firm up-to-date as technology evolves.
How do you keep family and business separate?
Mom tries to focus on her three grandchildren, one of whom is my son. When spending time together as a family, inevitably we start talking in accounting or tax language and the rest of the family just tunes us out. We really do try to keep business at work.
What have you learned from one another?
Besides the accounting business, Mom taught me to treat people like I want to be treated. I try to teach her to to work on the business rather than in the business.
