Hi. I’m Steven Townsend

I’ve spent 30 years doing this work. My favorite part of the business is getting to know my clients — understanding how their business works, what drives them, and how I can actually be useful to them.

Steven's Story

No one ever starts out to be different. I just noticed early in my career that most of my clients didn’t really have an advisor — they had a filing service. Someone who showed up once a year, processed

what happened, and left. No conversations about what just happened, no conversations about where things are going. Just the same transaction, repeated annually, while the business owner assumed that

was just how it worked.

It bothered me that small business owners never had anyone that would ask any questions. Thirty years later I’m still asking the same questions I asked in year one — because the answers are always different and the answers are always what matters. What are you trying to build? What’s

working? What keeps you up at night? What decision are you sitting on that you haven’t made yet? Those aren’t tax questions. They’re business questions. And they’re the ones worth asking.

How i work

What working with Steven actually looks like.

I ask questions first

Before I give you any advice I want to understand your business, your goals, and what keeps you up at night. The answers shape everything that follows.

I remember what you’ve told me.

Understanding your situation is the job — but it’s also the fun part of what I do. Learning what you do, why you do things your way, how things have worked and those that haven’t. Every conversation builds on the last one.

I call you.

Not just when something is due. When I notice something worth discussing. When something in your industry changes that might affect you. When a question you asked three months ago has an answer

now.

I tell you what I actually think.

Including when I think you’re about to make a mistake. An advisor who only agrees with you isn’t advising you.

I don’t disappear after April.

The relationship doesn’t pause because tax season has ended. If anything, the most useful conversations happen in months when nothing is due.

A few things worth knowing

WHY HENDERSON

I’ve been around Las Vegas long enough to know that Henderson’s business community is something special. Independent operators, hospitality businesses, contractors, professionals — people who built

something real and want to protect it. Small business owners are a special breed and deserve an advisor who gets that.

If this sounds like the kind of relationship you’ve been looking for — let’s have a conversation. No sales pitch, no pressure, no jargon. Just a conversation about what you do and how Steven can help you improve on it.
