			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in 2008 I decided that I would one day start my own CPA firm. By the end of September 2009, I had that <a href="http://michaeldoan.posterous.com/i-was-laid-off-but-im-excited-for-whats-next">opportunity</a>. So, it seems ironic, that after only three short months of running my own <a href="http://doancocpa.com">firm</a>, I am announcing that I&#8217;ve joined<a title="Orange County's Audit and Tax CPA Firm" href="http://mwmllp.com"> McKennon, Wilson &amp; Morgan LLP</a> as their audit partner.</p>
<p>I was recently asked, &#8220;why the change in direction?&#8221; My response: &#8220;it isn&#8217;t&#8221;. I&#8217;ll be responsible for re-establishing the MWM&#8217;s audit practice, much like I was doing with Doan + Associates (except that at D+A, I was starting one for the first time). One added advantage I do have now is that I don&#8217;t have to build my own infrastructure because there is one already in place, but the existing infrastructure is a minor convenience. The real value here is walking into a firm that has a great tax practice with professionals who care about their clients and a firm that has a well-deserved and well-established reputation for providing excellent client service.</p>
<p>I am on the same trip as before, but now with an upgraded vehicle.</p>
