Adam Shay CPA, PLLC is a triple bottom line public accounting firm with personality that emphasizes a proactive approach to its clients. They believe that accountants don't have to be boring nor do they need to care only about numbers. The community and environment matter and the numbers will follow! The whole purpose of the firm is to serve others- whether it be their customers, community, or environment. Besides being a general public accounting firm (tax planning, tax preparation, and consulting) the firm focuses on green tax credits and working with creative companies.
We became a B Corporation because we believe that it is important for us to lead by example. While we have always tried to do the right thing from the start, we believe that is important for an external group to hold us accountable and to continue to improve the impact of our operations.
The Change We Seek™
Adam Shay CPA, PLLC seeks to be a different type of CPA firm by:
-Maintaining a commitment to the environment. This is met by embracing new technologies, a paper minimal environment, and donating 1% of sales to local environmental non-profits as part of the 1% For the Planet Program.
-Encouraging people and businesses to take advantage of green tax credits. This will save them on taxes, operating costs, and help the developing green technology and building fields to continue to become stronger.
-To make their local community a better place by creating jobs and encouraging job growth and economic development in sustainable industries and business models. While industrial companies have had a strong historical presence in the area, sustainable businesses are going to lead it to a better future.
-Making a healthy profit for the firm owners is important, but that is not a long-term, self-sustaining drive for an organization. There has to be a bigger purpose. It is important to treat employees fairly, support local vendors, and donate to charitable organizations.
-Using their role as a trusted advisor and business leader to encourage other business owners in the community to give back and to work together to make the community a better place.
