Our Primary Purpose

Over the years, we have found that a team approach can be an effective method to help clients who have a wide variety of needs as they maneuver through a complex financial-services world.

Our History

The original firm, John Daniels CPA, began in 2010 with general tax and accounting services for business and individuals. This developed into strategic planning for individual portfolios and wealth management, minimization of tax liabilities for individuals and corporations, and general retirement/financial planning.   We believe in "old school" principles, but we also believe in keeping up with the needs of individuals and businesses in this rapidly changing world.

In 2017 we formed an RIA firm (Registered Investment Adviser), John Daniels CPA, LLC and began offering financial planning and investment management to our original tax clients.  Since that time we have phased out of offering tax services to our non-clients and only offer tax services as part of our investment advisory business.

In 2018 we developed a new product and received a trademark on the strategy, the Protected Growth Portfolio™.  This strategy was designed to be offered to retirees with the main focus on growth during good markets and  preservation of capital in down markets.   Since then, the strategy has shown consistent results in both up markets and down markets.

In 2021 we developed two new products designed for those clients that want to assume more risk in the markets in order to improve the possibilities for more growth.  It is anticipated that these two products will be offered to the public in 2022.
