We had the good fortune of connecting with Sarah Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Sarah, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
I am an underdog for sure! I came from very humble beginnings and was raised in Willis. From an early age, I was interested in reading, learning about how others became successful and took a liking to finance and accounting.
The greatest habit that has helped me to succeed is the art of time blocking. 100% the key to getting everything done, giving everything my all, being present and being able to juggle the role of business owner, CPA, wife, mom and friend.
I have looked back and realized that my most productive and joyful times have been when I time blocked. It ensures that you plan out your day, according to your goals-instead of allowing your day to dictate your actions and your day.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Sarah Jones CPA is different-and we are extremely proud of that! We help our clients BUILD their dreams, PROTECT their assets and GROW their legacy.
As a CPA Firm in Texas, we provide full-scale accounting and tax services. Anything from basic bookkeeping to CFO Services, tax preparation and advanced tax planning-we feel that education, clarity and value is what sets our Firm apart.
We started back in 2018 as a one-woman show. A lot of long nights, lots of early-business mistakes, and many cups of coffee later-we are a thriving, 7 figure CPA Firm with a team of 11. We are the fastest growing CPA Firm in Montgomery County and have big plans to continue to grow and provide massive value to our clients and community.
I feel that our Firm has been successful due to our passion for helping our clients succeed. Their success is our success!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents absolutely played a huge role in my success. I grew up in Willis, Texas and my father is THE hardest worker I know. He worked 2-3 jobs at a time to always make sure we were provided for. He did this so my mother could stay home with us. I learned from an early age that working hard was important. I always say that there might be someone smarter, quicker or younger than me….but nobody will ever outwork me! I got that from my father.
I always joke that I inherited my stubbornness from my mother! It has served me well.
My husband, Phil Jones-was a huge supporter of me jumping out and starting my own CPA Firm. I wanted to for so long, but let fear hold me back. He really stepped up and helped with our household duties and our children so that I could put in the necessary time to grow our CPA Firm.
