CPA-1 Program

Many of your clients can’t obtain financing from their bank. Their deal just doesn’t fit into the box. Maybe the next bank will approve the deal, but maybe it won’t. Today banks are more alike than different – strict guidelines, heavy documentation requirements, large down payments and more can make it difficult to get approved. When your client does get approved, does he feel that he got the best deal possible? Was there a better deal somewhere else?

Now there is a solution. Refer your clients to a trusted financing advisor to provide them the best deal in the marketplace, and we do the heavy lifting. Designed by a CPA for CPAs this program is an extension of what you do already. However, instead of leveraging your relationship with a handful of local banks, we will open up the world of providers to your clients. You get a more loyal client base, a chance to grow your commercial clientele and a generous referral fee (where allowed).
