CPA Preaches a “Happiness-Centered” Business Model
Howard Cox (pictured), CPA, CMA, CIA, has started a blog for his firm, Somerset CPAs in Indianapolis, that shuns the usual tax and accounting advice.
Instead, he positions “Somerset Business Success Strategies” as “Your playbook for creating happiness and building business value.”
He quotes Forbes magazine from 1917: “Business was originated to produce happiness, not pile up millions.”
Nice thought. Interesting ideas. Worth watching. Check it out, here.
