"We act as an extension of your already existing accounting firm or your CPA team to help them help you leverage these incentives when they're needed. A lot of times we can't rely on a CPA to say, ‘Hey, you need to do this.’ And so a lot of times, something we see, they bring it to their CPAs and they're like, ’Oh, that's a great idea. I'm so glad you found somebody, or let me introduce you.’ And so that relationship is very much a two way street." (8:51-9:20)
