Meet my brother Greg Young
Greg Young grew up in Cameron Park, CA, graduating from Ponderosa High School in 2007 where he was a star athlete on the track and cross-country teams. He served a mission for his church where he learned fluent Portuguese. Now a husband and father, Greg is exploring the next opportunities life has to offer.
Greg and his wife Sarah recently embarked on a brave new journey to step into the unknown. With enough savings that would make anyone say, “don’t do it”, Greg quit his job working for an established CPA practice and started a tax practice partnership with Astute Wealth Management in Folsom, CA. With 10 years’ tax preparation experience and a Master of Accountancy from University of Utah, Greg is ready to take a chance at being his own boss. “It’s a little scary from an accountant’s point of view!” Greg explains, “We usually like to see all the numbers add up. Starting a business leaves a lot of empty boxes and involves a lot of faith in yourself.”
It’s not all ‘rolling the dice’ for Greg. Astute Wealth hired Greg part-time to help the firm with advanced tax planning strategies with their clients. As the owner of Astute Wealth Management, we are excited about the additional value Greg brings. The businesses really go hand and hand. Making buy and sell recommendations has tax consequences that must be considered first.
Greg’s wife Sarah supports her husband by teaching part time at the elementary school for extra income and being a mother the rest of the day. This new endeavor requires sacrifice and long hours with the children so Greg can build the business. The way Sarah puts it, “Greg has always focused and worked very hard to do a great job at anything he starts. I am 100% behind him.” Besides building a client base and consulting on advanced tax strategies for Astute Wealth, Greg has also been studying and taking exams for his Certified Public Accountant/CPA credentials. He plans to accomplish the final test before the new year.
As the new year approaches, Greg is hopeful that new clients will take advantage of his training and hard work. As Greg puts it “I have decided to start with a very attractive price structure to get the business going and growing. Hopefully people will see the advantage in my experience and my competitive nature to be the best value in town.” As Greg continues his new endeavor, we know he will find success in our great community.
