Feniks & Company, LLC | Fairbanks, Alaska
Accounting as a Healing Art
®
Our Business Philosophy
Knowledge kept is wasted; knowledge shared is power.
Feniks & Company is a consultation-focused accounting firm. We seek to enrich your understanding of what you do and how you live your financial life. We share our knowledge and expertise so that you become more and more empowered in your own financial understanding and abilities.
​
We practice accounting as a healing art.
We approach your accounting needs from a whole-life perspective, much the way a family doctor approaches the whole-life health of her patients. Our clients enjoy good financial health when they understand their tax and business needs according to evolving circumstances that influence choices. Financial concerns almost always carry emotional concerns, sometimes in the form of crippling fear or anxiety. Our practice is to help you understand your situation, put fears into perspective, and provide relief to anxiety. We do this first by listening and caring, and then by planning healthy and healing strategies. We focus on our continuing support relationship rather than accounting interventions.
Our Values
Before all else, we value people.
We practice compassionate understanding. We respect every person we meet.
We do not discriminate on the basis of any category, attribute, label, tag, characterization, or favorite color.
​
We value community.
Community means people offering mutual respect, assistance, partnership, support, relationship, caring, encouragement, sharing, communication, and communion. Community is an expression of humanity. Community is the basis of good citizenship.
​
We value the best ideals of the United States of America: We agree that all persons are created equal, and all persons are entitled to the rights of life, liberty, security, well-being, and equal justice.
We meet each person as a community member regardless of “legal status.”
About our Practice
Our clients include individuals, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Our services include all of the usual accounting services (tax returns, payroll, bookkeeping, etc.) with an emphasis on educating our clients so that they can walk into a banker’s office for a loan and speak knowingly and confidently about their plans. Our goal is to empower our clients in the management of financial and business goals, expectations, obligations, and opportunities. Our emphasis on consultation throughout the year helps keep us informed of changes that allow us to work behind the scenes and “see around the corner” as the year progresses.
​​
Our role as a trusted client advisor to our business clients means that we work as an effective member of the business team.
We seek to empower our clients in the management of business needs that might otherwise be seen as burdensome, tedious, peripheral, overwhelming, or a “necessary evil.” Our intent is to support the business such that day-to-day operations are conducted with a view to the future rather than the past. A view to the future consists of looking at accounting obligations (the past) as a valuable resource for self-knowledge in the present. As we close prior years and prepare compliance filings, we resolve the past and keep things in perspective to ensure future concerns are met presently. Future concerns may include tax planning, retirement options, healthcare issues and opportunities, budget and growth, investments, entity development, staff training and development, and business opportunities over the horizon. We thus turn a “necessary evil” into a welcome perspective.
BE AWARE OF SCAMMERS:
The IRS only contacts taxpayers by letter mail. The IRS will NEVER contact you to request personal or financial information by any type of electronic communication such as email, text messages, and social media. Some phone scammers recite fake names, IRS badge numbers, or even the last four digits of the victim's Social Security number. The IRS will never ask for credit card, debit card, or prepaid card information over the telephone or email.
