What is your job and what makes you so good at it?

My career is to assist individuals in helping them minimize their taxes while living and help them plan for their legacy when that time comes. Despite efforts to avoid becoming an accountant like my dad, I found it was really something I was good at and enjoyed doing. I find it rewarding to help put the puzzle pieces together, so to speak, to help individuals find ways to become “financially fit” by paying their required taxes, save for their future, and plan a legacy they want.
