Below is an interview with Frank Hayes, President and Shareholder of Hayes & Associates.
1. How long have you been in business and what was the owner’s motivation for starting the business?
Hayes & Associates has been in business for over 41 Years. I started my own business due to the difficulty of finding high-level employment in this field. As a result, I decided to create my own firm to help serve the Omaha community.
2. How has the business grown over the years?
Our mission is to fully engage our clients, empower our team to be the best, and be active contributors to the communities in which we live and work.
3. What do you think sets you apart from other businesses in the same industry?
Hayes & Associates, LLC is a small but mighty full-service organization that provides Tax, Accounting, Audit & Attestation services to individuals, small businesses, non-profits, and governmental entities. Most small firms only focus on Tax Services or Accounting Services.
4. What do you and your team like about living and working in Omaha?
Omaha is a beautiful place with all four seasons and it’s a great place to raise a family!
5. What are your plans for the next five years of your business? 10? 25?
As Hayes & Associates looks forward to the next 5 to 25 years, we plan to continue to grow and provide a place where our team members can thrive and help our clients meet their financial goals. We will continue to evolve with the industry and embrace change as it relates to emerging technologies that enhance our ability to serve our clients and advise them on solutions to their challenges and generate wealth or maintain compliance with the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
This starts with us expanding our footprint by moving into a new office located at 13120 Pierce Street, Omaha, NE 68144 from which our growing team will be able to continue to serve the Omaha metropolitan area and beyond. We envision continued expansion within our core service areas and significant growth in our client advisory services, assurance services, and business tax advisory services within the Midwest and the addition of several new partners. We have enjoyed serving the Omaha metropolitan area for the past 40 years and look forward to continuing to do so and expanding our area of impact over the next 40 years.
6. If you could choose one thing you enjoy most about your business, what would it be?
The one thing that’s most enjoyable is the opportunity to meet and talk with so many different people with various experiences and backgrounds. It’s intriguing to learn their background and how to help them with their needs.
7. How does your team give back to the community?
At Hayes & Associates, giving back to the community is one of the core beliefs of our business philosophy. Just as we strive to provide exceptional service to our clients, we also work to positively impact the surrounding community through our volunteer and fundraising efforts. In 2014, we formed Hayes Cares, a nonprofit tax-exempt organization as a vehicle to enhance and reinforce our commitment to our community. The mission of Hayes Cares is to support the mission and vision of nonprofit organizations in the communities we serve through time, resources, and employee education. We partnered and supported many community service events and galas hosted by our clients and partners in our community.
8. Does your business have a mission statement?
Our mission is to fully engage our clients, empower our team to be the best and be active contributors to the communities in which we live and work.
9. If you could give other business owners a piece of advice, what would it be?
Follow your passion. Speak with people in your community, business leaders, and others, and listen to the challenges they face. If you can combine a solution to their challenges with something you’re passionate about, you will ultimately be able to build a successful business. Don’t try to do everything yourself, seek advice and guidance from professionals in the marketing, accounting, and legal arena so you can focus on growing your business and serving your customers
