A broader approach.
Our goal is to help our clients get the most of their financial life by looking at the bigger picture. Rather than focusing on just the compliance side of the equation, we strive to take a step back and take a holistic look at your goals. Are you looking to grow your business and want to keep more of your hard earned income? Are you looking to have more peace of mind at the end of the month when payroll is due? Do you feel like you are working harder than you need to be for the results you are getting? The numbers tell a story, and it is our job to help you interpret them so you can make informed business decisions. We strive to be part of your team during the entire year so that you can shorten your timeline to reach your own particular financial mountaintop.
The owner and primary operator of Full Value Tax is Jerry Catlin, CPA and MBA. He caught the accounting bug early while taking an accounting class in high school. He took it to the next level at Michigan State University and graduated with a B.A. and a M.B.A. with an emphasis in taxation. After a meandering, cross-country, bicycle trip, he landed in Portland in 1998. Starting at a Big Four accounting firm, he continued with a large local firm, to governmental accounting, and then to the non-profit realm. When not immersed in the tax code, Jerry is likely discerning the finer points between a crimper, a sloper and a manky chicken head while rock climbing. Or contemplating a relative minor, a diminished triad, and a grace note while playing the piano.
