In my own experience, accountants were always integral partners in our family business. They provided sage advice and resources to outwork our strategies. When we outgrew our banking relationship, they were there to make an introduction to a banker that understood our business and supported our growth to the next level. When it came time to sell the business, they provided the optimum structure to minimize our taxable income.

Hymers’ core business, Pinnacle Tax Services, provides accounting, tax preparation/planning, and long-term strategic planning. His team delivers results for their clients, many that have been with the Firm since its inception. When opportunities to add value appear, Hymers and his team are very proactive in helping their clients achieve exceptional results.

 

There is no such thing as being a little aggressive, you either are or you aren’t. Hymers is confident that understanding our economy, taxation, accounting, financing, strategic planning and turning a profit can lead him to an ever larger book of business.
