092: JAG CPAs – Youthful, Diverse, Disciplined, and Successful!

In this episode of Life In Accounting, a podcast production of www.WhereAccountantsGo.com, we speak with the partners at JAG CPAs in the Houston, Texas area – Joe Gallegos & Shehan Chandrasekera.

A Team Comes Together

Given that the firm itself is rather young – about 1 year in business at the time of this recording – we wanted to get the story of how the firm was formed and how their team came together. After only one year in business, the firm already has grown to a team of five… and they did it by building from the ground up!

Systems and Trust

Two of the themes that come out in our discussions are systems & trust. Systems from the standpoint that both partners believe in building strong processes and systems so that the firm can continue to thrive as the client base continues to grow.  Trust from the standpoint that they believe in giving their team the latitude to do their jobs like the professionals that they are.  It truly is a great learning and professional growth environment.

Bitcoin and Crypto-Currency

Another item that peaked our interest about JAG CPAs was their line of services supporting those businesses involved in crypto-currency. You’ll hear Shehan mention an article on the subject of virtual currency that is pending publishing at the time of this recording, but between our recording date and release date the article had already been published!  Make sure to check out Shehan’s article titled, “Reality Check: Virtual currency and it’s tax ramifications” in The Tax Adviser magazine.
