EXPERIENCE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

YOUR BUSINESS
ISN'T OUR
FIRST RODEO.

We've worked with hundreds of businesses and learned a thing or two along the way. You benefit from our exposure to great businesses.

‍

01

MAKE MORE
MONEY.

Any accountant, CPA, or in-law can do your taxes. But we'll help you make more money!

How many people do you know who get to see how hundreds of business owners run their business?

We'll use what we've learned to help you save on taxes but, more importantly, we're accountants that help you make more money.

‍

02

KEEP MORE
CHEESE.

When asked about retirement, Gene Perret said:

It's nice to get out of the rat race, but you have to learn to get along with less cheese.

Who's Gene Perret? I don't know either, but he's wrong! You don't have to suffer through retirement. Our Fresno based accounting team will show you how to retire from the rat race with more cheese.

‍

03

BUILD
NET WORTH.

Most people talk about how much tax they saved, the illegal things they did to save it, and what they spent the extra money on.

But we talk about things that matter, like how much your net worth increased this year and some smart ways to make sure it keeps growing.

We'll show you how to increase your net worth and prepare for your future.

Based on FY2025 federal spending. These amounts illustrate how a hypothetical tax payment compares with federal spending patterns. Individual tax payments are not earmarked for specific programs. Federal spending is financed by taxes, other receipts, and borrowing.

A little context.

This illustration uses actual FY2025 federal net outlays from the U.S. Treasury’s September 2025 Monthly Treasury Statement, covering October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025. Total net outlays: $7,009,973,667,049.30.

One year. One accounting basis.

Amounts use Treasury’s modified cash budget basis, including its credit-program and interest accounting conventions. These are net outlays, not budget requests, appropriations, obligations or contract values. This September reporting vintage is used consistently; later year-end revisions are not mixed into it.

FY2025 net outlays, in billions of dollars
Category	$ billions
Healthcare	$1,975.596412
Social Security	$1,580.685783
Defense	$1,293.810560
Net Interest	$970.358887
Income Security	$701.583598
Everything Else	$487.938428

What the categories include

Healthcare: Health plus Medicare functions. Medicaid, CHIP, NIH and CDC use their Treasury account groups. Other healthcare includes community health centers.
Social Security: Social Security function. Retirement and survivor benefits are combined; disability insurance is separate from SSI.
Defense: The card label is Defense; its total still includes both National Defense and Veterans Benefits and Services. Equipment procurement is grouped; R&D is separate. The Veterans benefits detail includes veterans healthcare.
Net Interest: Gross Treasury interest less other interest and offsetting adjustments. The negative row is necessary to reconcile to net interest.
Income Security: Income Security function. SNAP, SSI and the official unemployment, housing and federal retirement/disability classifications are identified. Other programs include child and family support.
Everything Else: All remaining functions, including undistributed offsetting receipts. Space, recreation and law enforcement remain separate. Transportation and disaster relief/insurance share one row. Education, training and social services remain separate. Other programs & net adjustments includes foreign assistance, farm income stabilization, all other remaining programs and applicable netting adjustments.

How the dollars add up

Each source dollar belongs to one main category. Named details are counted once; each “Other” row is its parent total less the listed details. Residuals include applicable netting adjustments. Whole dollars use largest-remainder rounding first across the six categories and then within each card, so the detail lines equal their displayed total and all six cards equal your selected payment. Rounded percentages sum to 100.0%; calculations use exact underlying outlays.

Broad groupings, honest limits

Compatible FY2025 outlays have not been isolated here for individual weapons systems, cancer-only research, community health centers, or a complete child/family or wildfire subset. Equipment procurement therefore stays combined. Space is broader than a NASA-only number; recreation is broader than national parks; law enforcement is broader than the FBI. “Other interest & offsetting adjustments” is negative. No requested funding or invented program estimate fills those gaps.

This is an illustration of spending proportions, not a tracing of your taxes, tax advice, or a description of earmarked funds.
