Accounting as a Healing Art
®
Our Values
Before all else, we value people.​
We practice compassionate understanding.
We respect every person we meet.
We do not discriminate on the basis of any category, attribute, label, tag, characterization, or favorite color.​​
​
We value community.​
Community means people offering mutual respect, assistance, partnership, support, relationship, caring, encouragement, sharing, communication, and communion.
Community is an expression of humanity. Community is the basis of good citizenship.
We agree with the best ideals of the United States of America, that all persons are created equal,
and all persons are entitled to the rights of life, liberty, security, well-being, and equal justice.
We meet each person as a community member regardless of “legal status.”
Our Philosophy
Knowledge kept is greed; knowledge shared is power.​
Feniks & Company is a consultation-focused accounting firm.
We share our knowledge and expertise to empower you in your own financial capacity.
We enrich your understanding of what you do and how you live your financial life.
​
We practice accounting as a healing art.​
We take a whole-life approach your accounting needs, the way a family doctor approaches the whole-life health of her patients.
We focus on a relationship of continuing support for financial health rather than various accounting interventions.
Financial concerns carry emotional concerns, often in the form of crippling fear or anxiety.
We help you to understand your situation, put fears into perspective, and provide relief to anxiety.
We do this first by listening and caring, and then by planning healthy and healing strategies.
​
Feniks & Company, LLC, is a consultation-focused firm​ serving individuals, non-profit organizations, and small, closely-held businesses.
We provide all of the usual accounting services (tax returns, payroll, bookkeeping, etc.) with an emphasis on educating our clients
so that they can walk into a banker’s office for a loan and speak knowingly and confidently about their plans.
​
Our goal is to empower our clients in the management of financial and business goals, expectations, obligations, and opportunities.
About our Practice
​​​Our role as a trusted client advisor to our business clients
means that we work as an effective member of the business team.
​
Our emphasis on consultation throughout the year
helps keep us informed of changes that allow us to work
behind the scenes and “see around the corner” as the year progresses.
Our intent is to support the business such that day-to-day operations are conducted with a view to the future rather than the past.
A view to the future consists of looking at accounting obligations
(the past) as a valuable resource for self-knowledge in the present
to inform decisions into the future.
​​We seek to empower our clients in the management of business needs that might otherwise be seen as burdensome, tedious, peripheral, overwhelming, or a “necessary evil.”
​
As we close prior years and prepare compliance filings, we resolve
the past and keep things in perspective to ensure future concerns
are met presently. Future concerns may include tax planning, retirement options, healthcare issues and opportunities, investments, budget and growth, entity development, staff training and development, and business opportunities over the horizon.
We thus turn a “necessary evil” into a welcome perspective.
