About

Hans Nelson, CPA

Growing up on a family farm in Northern Colorado taught me much about the necessity and dignity of hard work, honest words, and know-how that only comes from doing the job. I use this knowledge every day, whether talking to the IRS on behalf of a client, classifying transactions, or advising on the best course of action to maximize after-tax returns, and that is what drives the outstanding service to you.

These ideals shape the service you will receive from us.

Hard Work

We put our full energy and dedication into every project we tackle. This means you can expect your returns/deliverables to be sent to you at the agreed upon date, and that, to the best of our judgment, they will be right on the money.

Honest Words

We know taxes and finances can be difficult to understand—especially for those focused on their own expertise. At HGN, not only do we make complex concepts easy to grasp, but we also follow through on our promises. You can trust us—we’ve navigated this before and will map out your path to success.

Know-How and Technical Expertise

There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to taxes and finances—especially with ever-changing tax laws and the economic landscape. We look at your financial situation holistically to find solutions that are current and set you up for a brighter, more confident future.

Why a CPA?

What makes a CPA stand out from the crowd is not his inability to look up from his shoes when talking, but rather his:

Training:

A CPA needs to earn at 150 college credits and pass a multi part exam before claiming the Certified Public Accountant designation, and then meet the yearly 40 hours of continuing professional education.

Ability to represent clients before the IRS and State Revenue Agencies:

CPAs are one of the few professionals allowed to represent clients before the US tax court without taking the bar due to their strict education and licensing requirements.

Effective Communication

Accounting is the language of business, but it can be a brain-busting process to record the actual economics of what happened with just debits and credits. CPAs know how to communicate this complex financial information (whether it's audit findings, a complex tax analysis, or presenting financial strategies) in a clear and understandable manner.

Ethical Standards and Integrity

A CPA is required to adhere to the professional standards and principles of honesty, integrity, and objectivity. These are applied in the following manner:

Honesty: Being honest as a CPA means providing truthful and accurate information in all professional and business communications. It involves presenting financial information fairly and without bias, disclosing all relevant facts that could influence decision-making, and not misleading stakeholders or the public.

Integrity: Integrity goes beyond honesty and involves maintaining high moral principles and professional standards. CPAs with integrity adhere to ethical guidelines and codes of conduct, even when faced with difficult decisions or pressures. They avoid conflicts of interest, prioritize the public interest over personal gain, and act in a manner that upholds trust and confidence in the accounting profession.

Objectivity: Objectivity requires CPAs to maintain impartiality and avoid biases in their professional judgments and decisions. This principle ensures that CPAs provide independent and unbiased opinions, recommendations, and evaluations. They should not allow personal interests, relationships, or outside influences to compromise their objectivity or impair their professional judgment.

These are but a few of the reasons why individuals and business trust CPAs with their confidential financial information.
