Beverly Jones has been absorbing financial knowledge since her college years.  Working as a secretary in an accounting firm while earning her degree, she developed a keen interest in the field, which led to the establishment of her own firm, Beverly L. Jones C.P.A., PC.    In addition to in-depth tax planning and financial analyses, the firm helps clients to protect their assets and manage their cash flow.

For the past fifteen years she has been keeping abreast of the complexities of tax regulation.  “To stay current with the American government’s constant legislative changes in accounting trends, I attend seminars held by the AICPA (American Institute of CPA’s) and the VSCPA (Virginia Society of CPA’s),” she said.

Visitors to the firm’s website, www.bljcpa.com, can view the constant updates of governmental changes in rules and laws of accounting.  There are sections with Tax Tip of the Month, Business Tip of the Month, and Tax Legislation that shows acts that have been signed into law. Jones’ firm has weathered the economic turbulence of the last 2 years, despite some impact on her clientele in the real estate and construction industries, who have lost revenue or gone out of business.  She is also pragmatic, and utilizes the services of other professionals for some aspects of the business.  “If you want [a] business to succeed, you need a good lawyer”, she said.  But of course, her professional services are essential to others who want to develop a successful business model.  “Guidance in law and finance is the crucial beginning for any entrepreneur to avoid mistakes like falling behind in taxes.”

In the future, Jones expects to expand her credentials by becoming a personal financial specialist this year. In this capacity, Jones can serve the CPA field by keeping firms up to date with new strategies in financial planning, taxes, businesses, and other services.
