VISION AND HISTORY

LEACIF's vision is founded on a passion for accounting, innovation, and process improvement.

Vision

LEACIF's vision began as an improved approach to managed accounting services. This meant delivering accounting services in a manner aligned with traditional attributes of professionalism and integrity, coupled with flexibility, timeliness, and embracement of modernization. Why? Because we have a passion for the accounting profession, and believe there is a better way forward for professionals, clients, and business processes.  Our vision today is built on this foundation.

Our clients are important to us and drive our firm's purpose. Delivering thorough, high-quality services is our standard. In providing our services, we envision a relationship with our clients that is a strategic, valuable, and comprehensive alliance.  From this high-level perspective, ours and our clients' goals are mutually aligned and represented.  

Our people are everything. Our values and who we are, are critical.  LEACIF's vision includes building and sustaining an environment where flexibility, knowledge expansion, self-care, and individual betterment are at the forefront.  We want everyone to thrive in being their best.  In order to uplift and continuously pursue this goal, we are committed to a holistic approach that considers all aspects of our firm, its internal and external relationships, and their alignment with our mission and core values. We are people first, and accountants and business owners second.

Improving business means better processes, more innovative and proactive expectations, and re-evaluating the scope of value that we all create. We envision our role as contributing to a more forward-thinking business environment that supports a higher standard of doing and being. By embracing creativity and modern processes, we are able to uphold an approach conducive to a better version of work-life balance, a more beneficial and sustainable professional services model, and the ability to support small businesses and entrepreneurship in exciting and comprehensive ways.

We visualize and believe that when you love what you do, and can feel good about doing it, everything else naturally falls into place. 

History

Like all great histories, our firm's is unique, and our road is authentic.  The concept of LEACIF began with the mindset that business accounting could be done in a better way that was efficient and secure, and most importantly, offered a progressive and flexible work life for everyone involved.  After initially leaving public accounting several years earlier in favor of the office technology sector and being immersed in digital concepts to improve office workflow and data management, an idea was born.

 

What if businesses could just push a button, and all of their accounting work could easily make its way to their accountant, efficiently and in a manner that both information and deliverables could be managed as painlessly as possible for both the client and their professional service provider?

 

While life can be that simple, it often is not practical outside of the idea itself.  Hence, LEACIF first came to be as a hybrid alternative to an in-house accountant or bookkeeper, coupled with the embracement of technology to improve efficiency, reliability in processes, and of course, flexibility. 

 

Fast forward to today, and you will find many larger accounting firms beginning to embrace the concept of managed client accounting services. We are both proud and humbled to be aware of our thought leadership and innovative approach, and know the best is always yet to come!
