Introducing SMG's Core Values

---

At SMG Business Services, we believe that strong businesses are built not just on numbers, but on trust, support, and shared values. Recently, I had the opportunity to reflect on the foundations of SMG during a Leadership Academy through Founder’s First. Revisiting our Mission, Vision, and Core Values reminded me just how central these principles are to everything we do — and how they continue to evolve with your needs in mind.

I’m excited to share the Core Values that guide how we work with you:

• Education

• Trustworthiness

• Communication

• Community

• Compassion

Let’s dive into what these values mean — especially Education, and how it impacts your business.

At SMG, Education isn’t just about staying updated with the latest tax laws or bookkeeping practices — although we certainly do that. It’s about creating a two-way street of learning between our team and yours. We are committed to continually educating ourselves so that we can deliver the most accurate, effective, and proactive support for your business.

What behaviors reflect this value?

• We prioritize ongoing professional development for every team member.

• If we don’t immediately know the answer to a question, we dig in and find it — and share it with you in a clear, actionable way.

• We believe no question is too small. Your understanding of your finances is just as important as the numbers themselves.

Real examples of how we live this value:

• If a client is unsure about how cash flow impacts their profitability, we don’t just fix the numbers — we walk them through the process, offering insights, tools, and strategies they can use long after our meeting.

• When major financial or tax changes occur, we proactively update our clients, translating complex information into plain language to help you make smart, informed decisions.

Our goal is to turn financial confusion into financial confidence — so you can focus on doing what you do best: growing your business.

At SMG, our Mission is clear:

To provide growth-focused bookkeeping, cash flow management, and business advisory services to support the business owner in a compassionate and proactive way.

We’re not just your bookkeeping team — we’re your partners in building a stronger, smarter business.
