Max Greenwood is a Chicago-based CPA and The Sorcerer’s accountant. It is a small and successful one-person accounting firm and tax preparation service. The firm offers tax accounting, management accounting, and QuickBooks set-up and training for small business clients. To expand beyond a single person business, the company will also offer bookkeeping services for smaller businesses. This will require investments in marketing and staff to increase the business’s expansion to this new business. This business plan organizes the strategy and tactics for the business expansion and set objectives for growth over the next three years.
The company will provide bookkeeping services to clients with the supervision of a CPA at an affordable price. To do this involves hiring undergraduate student bookkeepers and a graduate student manager, keeping fixed costs as low as possible, and continuing to define the expertise of Sorcerer’s Accountant through its website resources. The result will be more than doubling in sales over three year as 8 part-time accountants are assigned to client businesses as necessary, while salary and dividends to Greenwood go up substantially.
