Acquisition International - Issue 11 2019 13 Fiercely dedicated to educating himself, Roger makes a point of continuing to learn and re-enforce what he knows. Despite being a success in the boardroom, he strives to complete over 200 hours of tax law CEUs. ‘I love tax and accounting,’ admits Roger. ‘This field has allowed me my growth.’ It’s a growth that doesn’t seem set to stop any time soon. Even now, he is finishing off a degree in Business Management with a focus on accounting. This is being completed at Mid-American Christian University, but he has attended others, including Indiana Bible College, Bryan University and Ashworth College. He searches for information with an aggressive zeal. ‘Nothing has been given to me,’ Roger says. ‘My knowledge, I have had to work for. I grab every leadership book I can, every training material I can. I will grab everything I can to make my success come true.’ This ethos of education and gathering information pervades the entire company structure. When asked what makes him an award-winning business leader, Roger answered ‘Hiring people who know more than me so I can learn from them.’ Passing down what we know seems key to the success of the company. It has allowed for ambitious goals to be guided by experience. This December, he has been asked to give a TED Talk and to share the wisdom gathered over the years with a new audience. ‘We are human. There is no way possible we can know everything,’ Roger says, but I’m not sure that means he isn’t going to try. The work of IRON Tax is genuinely exciting, pushing into fresh accountancy territory that has yet to be tapped. In the years to come, IRON Tax will have the ability to serve people regardless of location, in addition to CFO level services as well as accounting and business consulting. It could very well push Roger to the next level, especially with the launch of his new book which focuses on Cannabis Taxation that will be published at beginning of 2020. With exciting plans for new and unexplored territory, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to hold IRON Tax back. It might seem like a risk for an accountancy firm to investigate an area like cannabis accounting, but to Roger, it’s an opportunity to grow his business nationwide, and to become an industry leader.
