At Beach Freeman Lim & Cleland we recognize that the key to a successful client relationship is to know your client and use that knowledge to help the client solve problems. When you work with us you can expect the following:

We Tell It to You Straight
We dislike ambiguity. If we can't give you an answer in plain English, then we aren't doing our job. And when a difficult issue arises, we lay it out clearly so you know all your options.

We Take a Stand
We know there's more to business than just taxes. That's why we train our professionals to be business advisors as well as CPAs. Our clients depend on us for creative solutions to their business problems. We offer the available alternatives and tell you what we think you should do.

We Won�t Waste Your Time
We know you are busy. That's why we don't spend a lot of extra time in meetings or on the phone. You come to us for essential information and services, and our business advisors give you exactly what you pay for - without the red tape.

We're Experts in Your Industry
You can trust our advice because we know your industry. If our experts don't know the answers, we will refer you to someone who does.

If we don't know your business, we don't deserve your business. It's that simple.

I work with entrepreneurial, growth-oriented, privately owned businesses, their owners and their families along with individuals.

Most of my clients come to me because they are either seeking to upgrade their CPA relationship from another small firm (or sole practitioner) that cannot grow its capabilities with the client or someone that is currently using a larger local firm or regional accounting firm but seeks to increase the level of service it receives, at a lower cost, without sacrificing technical capabilities.
