How I help . . .

All through my many years of school, math was always my favorite class. I loved solving problems, and math requires having to write out the various steps and what was needed in order to solve the problem. It wasn’t always a quick and easy answer and at times, if you didn’t do it in the right order, it may be the wrong answer.

Working with our clients is very similar to approaching math problems. I get excited to plan out a course of action and look through the facts, do the research and get innovated with potential ways to solve the problem. They don’t always work. Sometimes you have to reassess and change courses. You may have to call in reinforcements. But when it works, you can enjoy feeling the sense of accomplishment.

Q&A with Amanda

What does above+beyond mean to you?
As business owners, our clients face daily struggles to manage and grow their business while also attempting to maintain their own work-life balance. Going above+beyond is viewing our relationship with our clients as a team effort. The Adams Brown team’s role is as experts and advisors, stepping into help reduce the client’s load so the client can focus on what is needed most. My personal part of the team is to alleviate the stress of taxes and tax strategies from the client’s plate and work jointly with others at Adams Brown so we can move across the goal line together for our clients.
What activity plays an important part in your life?
I started gardening, and this has quickly become an important activity in my life. I grow herbs used for cooking and teas. I’ve added a flower garden and keep expanding each year. Gardening is both hard work but also relaxing. Everyone should play in the dirt!
What is your favorite food?
As a Texan that currently resides outside of the state, my favorite food is BBQ. Finding good BBQ is not easy but worth the wait when you do!
What is your favorite music?
I listen to pretty much anything depending on my mood. Lately, I am playing a mix of Taylor Swift, Whiskey Myers, Noah Kahan and Turnpike Troubadours.
What type of books do you read?
I love to read books that are romantic comedies. They are perfect for busy season stress. I also usually reread the classics like Jane Austen when I need to refresh.
