THE BEST BUSINESS ADVICE I’VE RECEIVED: “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” I have interpreted this to include not only your attire, but also your confidence, attitude, professionalism and execution of work product. – Daisha Hayes, CPA 

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT JBBG? In addition to attorneys with advanced degrees in taxation, our estate and tax group includes planning analysts, who are CPAs with experience in a variety of industries. No other law firm brings this multidisciplinary approach to provide creative ways to achieve clients’ business and estate planning goals. 
– Pam Flanders, CPA, CFP®   

ADVICE FOR FUTURE CPAS: CPAs are needed in all industries. I would advise going on several informational interviews to truly discover an area that peaks your interest and involves daily activity that keeps you fulfilled. Being a planning analyst at JBBG allows me to dive into the more complex tax issues surrounding estate and business succession planning coupled with the legal perspective that only a law firm can offer. – Daisha Hayes, CPA 

THE MOST GRATIFYING PART OF MY JOB: Many of our clients ask us to help them pass their family-owned businesses to the next generation. It is a privilege when a family trusts us to create a succession plan to keep their business running smoothly for years to come. – Pam Flanders, CPA, CFP®
