Maslow's Hierarchy defines the relationship of human needs from the most basic: food and shelter, to the most advanced: self actualization.
Maslow, as well as contemporary visionaries such as Chip Conley, have applied the hierarchy to business.
Drawing from their inspiration, I have created the Client Hierarchy to represent how a CPA firm should be serving your most basic and advanced needs.
The hierarchy from bottom to top, begins at tax and accounting, moves to planning, and then advising.
Surrounding the hierarchy are the most common entities that should be considered as interdependent -the individual, family, and business - all related.
