If there is one thing I’ve learned from being an accountant and tax strategist, it’s that in order to feel confident handling clients’ finances, you need to be detail-oriented. Now, when I say “detail-oriented,” I don’t necessarily mean it as a simple characteristic you add to your resume to build up your ethos for a job interview. I mean that you have to pay extremely close attention to every minor detail in order to avoid potentially catastrophic issues. Honing in my abilities to do this required a lot of practice. Fortunately, I had one of the best examples as a client: Lindsay Kan. Lindsay has owned and operated his health insurance brokerage company for at least 30 years now, and I’ve had the good fortune of working with him for 25 of those years. During that time, I’ve tried my best to pick up on his organization and planning strategies. Even considering all my years working with clients, Lindsay’s meticulous attention to detail is astounding. Additionally, he is phenomenal at helping his clients, something I've witnessed firsthand. Approximately nine years ago, Maria and I found out she was pregnant with our first son. This was before health care laws were in effect, so at the time, neither of us had health insurance. If you’ve had a child, you know how expensive time spent at the hospital can be. Needless to say, we were freaking out! I approached Lindsay with our concern, and he somehow managed to get us insurance retroactively. The guy knows how to make things happen, and he has helped several other clients of mine who own businesses. If you’re looking for an insurance broker you can trust, I assure you, Lindsay is your guy!
