Clearwater Business Advisors LLC & Accounting for Profitability LLC join forces
Local firms to provide expert advice to startups and high growth businesses
TAMPA & ESTERO, FL – March 8, 2019 – Clearwater Business Advisors LLC, a national mid-market general management consulting firm based in Tampa, and Accounting for Profitability LLC in Estero, that provides CPA services & financial consulting to clients primarily in South West Florida, have signed a partnership agreement to provide expert business advice to companies in the Tampa-Naples corridor.
Driven by the area’s booming business environment, the two companies said their combined experience in business consultancy and accounting will help early stage and growth companies access expert advice. Also, area entrepreneurs seeking to grow their businesses will benefit from the capabilities both firms bring to today’s competitive and disruptive business environment.
The timing of the new partnership is ideal, according to Robert Morlot, Managing Partner at Clearwater, since small and mid-sized companies in the South West Florida region will need supplemental skills and expertise to drive their growth. The same is true for companies emerging from local incubator or accelerator programs in the area.
Working jointly, the two firms seek to tap into the thriving entrepreneurial and startup community in both Collier and Lee Counties. Typically, large regional and global brand-name consulting firms are unaffordable for most small and mid-sized businesses.
With a lower cost of living, no state tax, favorable state incentives, and of course, over 300 days of sunshine and warm weather, the area is attractive for an increasing number of younger people who want to stay in the region – a key component for business growth in the future.
“Small to medium size businesses and startups, are rapidly growing in Southwest Florida as the region strives to diversify its economy. We see this diversity evolving in our local markets especially in information technology, healthcare and apps focused on the shared economy,” said Morlot. “We’re excited and ready to help those entrepreneurs who have great ideas, but need general management guidance that only experienced senior executives and consultants can provide.”
“Eighty percent of business value is found in the intangibles” said Ike Lichtenstein, CPA, CEO of Accounting for Profitability, LLC. “Our CPA and advisory services help business leaders make their businesses both profitable and well-run. Partnering with Clearwater expands our support to business owners – from start-up to mid-size businesses. We do this by developing processes that work and last years, not months”.
