HOW WE WORK
Our clients aren’t small fish in a big pond. They are our main priority. At The Garabedian Group, we believe accounting works best when it’s personal, consistent, and built on trust over time.
Here you’re working with a team that understands the bigger picture: your goals, your risks, your family, and your legacy. We don’t measure success by the number of financial statements we prepare. We measure it by the relationships we build, the challenges we help you overcome, and the peace of mind we give you knowing you don’t have to navigate it all alone.
By the time tax deadlines arrive, the decisions have already been made.
The role of a good accounting firm is to be present when financial choices arise, not just when documents are due. Many clients think they need their taxes done, when what they actually need is guidance on decisions such as payroll, distributions, investments, long before their tax return needs to be filed.
Plenty of firms can prepare a tax return or run financial statements, but what sets us apart is how we show up for our clients. Our work spans advisory, tax services, and bookkeeping, but the real value comes from how those pieces work together throughout the year.

Item description
-
Most clients come to us when they realize tax season is too late to fix the bigger issues. They often start by asking about filing or compliance, but quickly see that the decisions made throughout the year (payroll, distributions, investments, timing) have a much greater impact than the forms themselves.
-
Most business owners contact an accountant during tax season, but by then, the most important financial decisions have already been made.
-
Our work is collaborative and ongoing. We take time to understand each client’s business, communicate regularly, and adjust guidance as circumstances change. That continuity is what allows the work to be effective. Our clients value clarity, communication, and thoughtful planning, and want a relationship that supports decisions throughout the year. This allows us to identify patterns, flag issues early, and help clients move forward with clarity instead of reacting after the fact.
