What Your CPA Wants You to Know

We’re Carson and Teran Sands!

We own and operate our CPA firm, Sands CPA, in Decatur, Texas! We started our business supporting entrepreneurs in 2016 while we were both working full-time jobs. Our second year in business, we made more money being self-employed than we ever did working for other companies!

Now, we want to empower and educate others how to get their business up and running with a great financial start.

WE HOPE OUR GUIDES INSPIRE, TEACH, AND EMPOWER ENTREPRENEURS LIKE US!

We know new businesses don't have a lot of extra money to spend up-front for CPA advice.

The most important time for a business owner to get all of this information is at the START!

For that reason, we’ve created this accessible guide to save you time and money starting your business for less than the cost of one consulting meeting at our firm!

THE INFORMATION FOUND IN OUR WHAT YOUR CPA WANTS YOU TO KNOW ABOUT STARTING A BUSINESS GUIDE WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 10 MEETINGS TO DISCUSS IN-OFFICE WITH A CPA!
