Take business from conception to success

Most new businesses fail within the first five years of operation.  Statistics are not kept of how many of these businesses fail unnecessarily either because they did not get critical legal or accounting advice or because too much of precious start-up capital was spent on lawyers and accountants.

Whether you’re starting a Tulsa technology consulting firm, a Norman bookkeeping and accounting practice, or a Broken Arrow machine shop, James Bryant, Attorney/CPA,  can help you get your business organization off on the right foot with appropriate formation documents and proper accounting.
