About The Author: Garland Creighton is a Certified Public Accountant with over 20 years of experience in public accounting. He initially began his career with KPMG, and for nearly 20 years has operated his own accounting practice based in Richmond, Virginia. The firm provides consulting and management advisory services to a variety of clients all across the United States, as well as tax preparation and advisory services to corporations and individuals.

While the accounting profession has become increasingly complex and technical, Mr. Creighton has an established reputation for having the ability to take a complex issue and make it understandable to the client. His clients consistently comment on his ability to translate accounting jargon (that only accountants seem to understand) into just plain old English. He also holds a Masters Degree in Accounting from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Competence, integrity and efficiency have all contributed to the highly regarded reputation that the firm has developed over the years. However, as he quickly points out, Mr. Creighton attributes the success of his firm to maintaining a balance of putting God first, family second, and having everything else take a number and get in line.
