This week’s guest has the Asian curse, meaning he looks younger than he is. We’ll talk about his skin care regiment (I joke—his background) in a bit but, first, let’s dive into what he does.
People are always asking me who my CPA is, which CPA they ought to use, or what duties their CPA should perform. The fact is, there are so many definitions of what a CPA should do; there are so many ways they can provide information and value to save you thousands upon thousands of hard-earned dollars.
If we had enough tax savings to spare, we’d gladly pay for our taxes. But that’s just not the case; everyone wants a slice of the pie! Even if you’re bringing in a million or two million dollars a year, it doesn’t actually amount to this much once taxes come out of the back end. It doesn’t help that we’re inundated with myths that scare us about being audited, either.
Well, you’ve likely already guessed it. Harsh is a CPA, the sole owner of one of the newest sponsors of Nifty Thrifty Dentists—HMP Consultants—and the guy who’ll save your pie from being eaten by the “sharks” of the dental industry.
HMP Consultants is a full-service accounting firm that performs the whole nine yards: bookkeeping/keeping payroll, advisory services, income tax prep, tax estimates, tax planning, and more. This is a big deal: many CPAs only take care of one part of the package. The fact that Harsh operates within the niche of dentistry means he keeps things even cleaner than other CPAs who advertise the same services.
There’s one issue that reappears far more than any other for Harsh and his team at HMP Consultants when they take on a new client. It’s the fact that a client’s former CPA simply never spent enough time focusing on them. But there’s tons of other reasons dentists struggle to stay, afloat in the world of tax savings—tune in to find out!
Harsh and his team have been working with dental practice owners for quite a while. Their firm was initiated to aid general practitioners—dentist or not, DMD or MD—but their horizon has narrowed down as they’ve found particular enjoyment in working with clientele within the dental landscape. One thing about dentistry that has inspired Harsh the most is how dentists make their patients so much happier and truly impact their lives for the better. While he can’t make that same impact directly, Harsh knows he can do so indirectly by helping dental practice owners improve patient care through their top-of-the-line tax savings plans.
All in all, Harsh knows the ins and outs of the industry and can advise his clients about all of the “little things” that will add up by the end of the year to save you heaps of cash flow. I’ll be the first to say that dentists are “notorious” for not taking advantage of many of the money-saving opportunities. I wholly believe Harsh could be your guy when it comes to keeping things legal while holding onto the money you’ve put your blood, sweat, and tears into. Harsh learned from his father how important it is for a client to be capable of contacting their CPA with ease.
And while every client who chooses to work with HMP Consultants will go through a different process, the means of communication is largely the same. In fact, Harsh is so serious about keeping in contact that his firm has a 24-hour rule. If HMP Consultants takes longer than 24 hours to get back to you and you’re unsatisfied, they’ll refund your last month’s payment.
That’s amazing, man. Let me tell you, I have never, ever heard a CPA promise something like that. In fact, I thought that was so awesome I had Harsh repeat himself—it was almost too good to be true!
