The Chief Proactive Advisor

The mission-driven advisory service model for visionary accounting firm leaders

Sean M. Duncan, CPA is the founder and owner of SMD Consulting and creator of The Chief Proactive Advisor service model for accountants as well as the Family Office Advisory System.As a thought leader, advisor, educator he helps his fellow professionals and clients positively transform their businesses and their lives through proactive strategy and planning using his Family Office Advisory System.

He is also dedicated to coaching accounting professionals to leverage their existing CPA (Certified Public Accountant) knowledge to become Chief Proactive Advisors (CPAs) capable of creating extreme value for their clients and additional revenue streams for their firm.

“CPAs across the United States possess so much valuable knowledge about business, finances, and taxes; but too often they shy away from sharing their wisdom in a timely and actionable manner,” says Sean. “I developed The Chief Proactive Advisor (CPA) Model to change that byproviding a systematic approach for transforming compliance based firms into highly profitable and personally fulfilling advisory practices.”

  • “5 Stars – Couldn’t run my practice without them!

    I’ve been working with SMD for decade(s), and I honestly don’t know how I ever managed before. As a small veterinary business owner, I wear a lot of hats, but bookkeeping and accounting just isn’t one I wanted to wear. Thankfully, I found someone I could fully trust to handle it all—and do it incredibly well. They’ve kept my books organized, helped me plan for taxes (instead of panic about them), and always take the time to explain things in a way that makes sense. Plus, they genuinely care about the success of my practice, which means a lot.

    Reliable, responsive, and just an all-around great person to work with. Highly recommend to any small business owner looking for someone who really gets it.”

  • “I’ve worked with SMD for over 3 years and they have been such a blessing to me. I don’t even want to think about the financial mess I would have on my hands if I didn’t start working with them. They helped me get my companies set up properly, and help me keep up with all of the many tax regulations and reporting requirements, give me guidance, and help me stay on top of everything. They are great people to work with and truly go out of their way to find the right solutions! Genuine, hard working, smart. Highly highly recommend.”

  • “My company is entering its seventh year in which we have relied on our CPA to keep our business operating smoothly. After a couple of years in which we had nothing but issues with our books and filings, SMD Consulting has been absolutely amazing. They oversee our monthly bookkeeping and handle all of our tax reporting and we have been treated very well and have not had to deal with a single issue since engaging them to help us. I am so grateful for Sean and his colleagues at SMD. They also handle some of my personal matters and I highly recommend them for business and personal needs”

  • “We have put our trust in SMD Consulting for years. They are proactive in finding solutions so that you can focus on your business! From monthly bookkeeping services to high level financial strategy, Sean and his team of professionals will take care of you every step of the way! Leveraging their years of experience to meet our business goals has aided in our expansion.”

  • “I’ve been working with SMD for 3 years and it has dramatically changed how I successfully operate my business. Before partnering with SMD, I did all the bookkeeping and accounting in-house and it took me away from running and growing the business. Not only has SMD alleviated all the stress of those tasks and completely transformed our bookkeeping and accounting processes, but Joel and Darlinda’s strategic consulting and expertise has positively impacted the company’s revenue, taxes, and the overall financial health of the business. I highly recommend SMD for any size business that wants a dedicated team of experts to help you scale and grow your business financially.”
