Anything But Typical

We are an accounting firm that is
What Exactly makes BGW Different

What exactly makes BGW Different, Diverse, Atypical, Awesome?

It starts with our people. We’re businesspeople first, accountants second. We love what we do, and yeah—we actually have fun doing it.

It’s also our processes. We’ve built them around the top reasons clients fire their old accounting firms. (Spoiler: it's not because of a math mistake.)

We’ll shoot straight with you: we’re not for everyone.

In fact, if you can confidently say the following about your current accounting firm, you should probably stay right where you are:

  • My accounting firm cares if I’m successful. It looks out for me and brings ideas to the table that help me make money, save money, and stay out of trouble.
  • My accounting firm gets me, my goals and what I’m trying to accomplish, my company, and my industry. They’ve been in business before just like me.
  • My accounting firm is there for me -- responsive to calls and emails -- and is approachable (even firm partners talk to me), answering each of my questions without secretly racking up charges like an attorney and surprising me with a bill.
  • I don’t get surprised by tax bills, and I pay my CPA less in fees than I receive in value.

If that does sound like your current firm, you've got a good one. Stick with them.

But if it doesn’t? Let’s talk.

The BIG 4 reasons accounting firms get fired

Unexpected surprises on my bill or from the IRS

Unexpected surprises on my bill or from the IRS

Surprises are great—just not when they involve your money.

At BGW, you’ll always know the price up front. Our fees are clearly laid out before we start, and we won’t charge a penny more unless you choose an additional service and approve the price ahead of time. No exceptions.

Plus, because we check in with you throughout the year, you’ll never be blindsided by a surprise tax bill again.

Afraid To Call for Fear for getting billed like an attorney

Afraid to call for fear I’ll get billed like an attorney

No offense to our friends in law, but billing by the minute isn’t our thing.

Have a question? Call us. Email us. Ask away—as often as you need to. We love hearing from you, and we’ll never nickel-and-dime you for staying in touch.

Failed Team - Accounting Firm Big Reason why CPAs Gets Fired

Fell in love with the A team but a year later all I got was the C team

We’re not fans of the old bait and switch either.

When you come on board, we handpick the right team members to serve you—and help you grow. You’ll have their direct contact info, meet with them regularly, and actually know who’s working on your business. And our executive team? They stay just as engaged as our staff accountants. No disappearing acts here.

Lack of Responsiveness - CPA Big reasons why they're fired

Would love proactivity but would settle for responsiveness

Good news: with us, you get both—quick responses and proactive outreach.

When we say call or email us, we mean it—and we’ll get back to you within one business day. But don’t be surprised if you hear from us first. Tax planning isn’t a once-a-year thing; it’s a year-round process. Our Proven Process is built on regular check-ins, ongoing strategy, and constant communication. We don’t go quiet.

At BGW, we built our Proven Process with one goal in mind: to avoid the Big 4 reasons clients fire their accounting firm. 

We’re not perfect—but we aim for it every day.
