Our History
Next Step Advisors was founded from an intense desire to help people make better decisions with their businesses. We frequently see people who have been overpaying taxes for years due to either a lack of help or bad advice. We see businesses exposed to liability because of misinformed entity selection. We see individuals with businesses or rental properties try to use do-it-yourself software to get their return done only to find (sometimes too late) that they had been making serious (and expensive!) errors. We see small businesses struggling to manage cashflow only because they have never been shown how. And we see entrepreneurs ignore their numbers because they don't trust or understand them. We believe that a robust accounting system is at the heart of a good management strategy. We'd like to show you how improved reliability on your financials can give you confidence to make better decisions and achieve better results.
