Our Story of Growth
Salman, Jaz, and Alex once worked with some of the biggest names in the tax industry. They handled complex accounting and high-profile clients, gaining valuable experience along the way. But something didn’t feel right.
While they loved the work, they couldn’t ignore the struggles many clients faced. They kept seeing the same issues come up, over and over again.
From these experiences, they identified The 3 Big Client-Side Accounting Problems:
Accessibility Problems
Clients couldn’t reach their accountants. Calls weren’t returned, and emails went unanswered. Support felt out of reach.
Unreliable Support
Many firms relied on flaky bookkeepers or passed clients off to junior staff. It left clients questioning the accuracy of their finances.
Surprise Tax Bills
Too many people were shocked by unexpected tax bills. There was little preparation or guidance along the way.
The SAL Family
What started as three founders determined to make a difference has grown into something bigger. Over time, more professionals joined the team. They shared a passion for client service, transparency, and building real relationships.
Now, SAL Accounting is more than just a team—it’s a family. We’re committed to making accounting approachable and proactive. We want to ensure you always feel supported and understood.
