"As a retired law enforcement official I've had many years of putting together budget request for capital projects and budgeting for the sections that I ran, but nothing compared to the challenges of being a new business owner. Within a year I found that although I've garnered some useful skills in my 30 years of law enforcement they were not nearly adequate enough to run a business. After messing some things up myself I prayed on it and then started internet researching for a CPA. We firmly believe that God sent us to Watson CPA PLLC.
