1) Question: tell us a bit about yourself
& your business?

Sean: I’m a CPA with Brown Thornton Pacenta & Co., a Certified Public Accounting Firm located here in Pensacola. We provide tax, accounting and audit services to business and individual clients.

2) Question: How long have you been in this industry?

Sean: I’ve been practicing for 22 years.

3) Question: What is the biggest challenge
facing your clients right now?

Sean: The current economic situation has touched each
of us in some way. We have family, friends, or neighbors who’ve lost jobs.
We see “bank owned,” “short sale,” and “foreclosure” attached to real
estate listings. The challenge for today is to deliver more value using
less resource. When we succeed in facing that challenge, we’ll leave ourselves
well positioned to benefit as economic conditions improve.

4) Question: What is your company doing to help?

Sean: We are striving to identify and inform our clients
about unhealthy trends in their income and spending. Frequently such changes
go unnoticed in the daily rush of running our businesses and our households,
and a brief conversation can lead to meaningful change.

5) Question: What advice would you give to our readers?

Sean: Love what you do. We’ve all met people who are
passionate about what they do. I find their enthusiasm contagious, and
they seem to get good results in what they seek to accomplish.
