Richard A. Flanagan, CPA

Rich wanted a career in business, and accounting seemed to be a good starting place.  Well, here he is, and that "good starting place"has become a real, grown up career.  Rich owes his longevity as a CPA to an ongoing curiosity about ever-changing tax and accounting issues, and the effects on the public accounting industry and taxpayers.

Rich enjoys a collaborative rapport with his clients.  Not partial to any specific type of client or industry, he sees value in productive relationships that afford opportunities to work together. Rich is quick to suggest a different angle or admit a mistake – an approach, which normally results in the best work product for the client.

Rich predicts tax increases are on the way no matter who wins the White House.  Political opinions aside, he is a real live tax guru, who relies on a crystal ball, as well as expert training and experience.  Rich is ready to help with your tax issues, no matter how mystifying.
