Gregory M. Desmond, CPA/PFS, CFP is a well established Certified Public Accountant and Certified Financial Planner® with over 30 years' experience. He's earned the CPA specialty of Personal Financial Specialist (PFS), a designation held by fewer than 5,000 CPA's nationwide.

GREG BUILT HIS FIRM AROUND THIS KEY QUESTION:

"WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU SAT DOWN IN ONE ROOM WITH YOUR TAX PROFESSIONAL, YOUR INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND YOUR FINANCIAL PLANNER TO DISCUSS YOU, YOUR GOALS, AND YOUR MONEY?"

All too often that answer is never. If none of those professionals are coordinating on your behalf, you can end up with one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas in your financial life. Sure, you can still make a lot of money, but keeping a lot of money is a whole other challenge. Here at Desmond Wealth Management & Desmond Consulting Group, every time you meet with us, all those aspects are covered.

WHAT WE DO: We help personal service professionals that currently own, are looking to purchase or aspire to purchase/start their own practices. Personal service professionals work in the fields of health, law, engineering, accounting, actuarial science, consulting or performing arts. Our firm specializes in managing the specialized accounting systems that are demanded by personal service corporations. We focus on the entrepreneurial aspect of your practice, which is to leverage your practice to create personal wealth.

WHY IT MATTERS: Your job is to be a master practitioner at what you do. Our job is to be constantly monitoring the financial performance of your company. We focus on the financial metrics of your firm and ensure that targets are being met and personal financial goals are on track. This empowers you to make intelligent and purposeful business and financial decisions.

HOW DOES IT WORK: We start by designing a personalized business and personal financial plan. We create an accounting system that revolves around that plan, minimizing taxation and maximizing wealth building. We meet with you on a regular basis providing accurate CFO reports on your business and progress reports for your personal financial wealth.

WE ENCOURAGE AND WELCOME YOU TO CONNECT WITH US IF:
- You are a small business owner who wants to reduce taxes and grow your business.
- You have built up your business over the years and need help with crafting an exit strategy.
- You are seeking a holistic, thoughtful and collaborative wealth management team for your family.
- You are experiencing a life transition that impacts your financial goals.
