As an avid thoroughbred horse-racing fan, Michael Newton is well aware it takes a special horse to stand out in a competitive field. It is no different for accounting firms, and Michael, a fixture at Fuller Landau LLP since starting as a summer student in 1989, believes the company’s youth and dynamism are what sets it apart.
“Young, dynamic and aggressive partners, along with the wisdom and support from our consulting partners has given us and, in turn, our clients, the best of both worlds,” he remarks. “Our internal harmony, combined with an ongoing mandate to constantly upgrade talent, provides for a complete team that serves our existing clients, and those to come, in a way few mid-sized firms can boast.”
Michael personifies this dynamic spirit. He got into the business because, as he explains, “it’s always better to pursue a passion than be forced into something you have no interest in. I was interested in owner/managed entrepreneurial businesses, whether running my own or offering consulting services to others. I’m interested in helping our clients grow and succeed – whatever that may take.”
Such consultation has become more important than ever. Rules and regulations are constantly changing. The retirement of baby boomers has led to the largest wealth transition in history – and the tax implications that go with it. As the world economy grows, so too do such issues as sales and commodity taxes, international tax, transfer pricing and personal and corporate taxation.
“It’s going to lead to an increased divide between quality firms and those that aren’t ‘up to standard’,” states Michael. “Our goal, as it has always been, is to continue to be one of those quality firms.”
