Vince Viruni, tax attorney with Harbor Point Associates, shares his collaborative approach to solving complex business tax problems while working harmoniously with clients' existing advisors and team members.

 Rather than displacing existing advisors, Vince seeks "just an extra seat at the table" where he can contribute specialized tax expertise while respecting established relationships. This refreshing philosophy stands in stark contrast to the territorial, siloed approach many professionals adopt.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Vince draws parallels between his background as a classically trained musician and his professional methodology. Like skilled jazz performers who can seamlessly incorporate others' playing styles, Vince strives to work harmoniously with any advisor his clients value. This musical metaphor perfectly captures true collaboration – maintaining expertise while adapting to complement others' strengths.

Design principal Robin Pasley echoes this sentiment, sharing how her previous career in music taught her to "give up your ego to make the better song." She applies this lesson directly to client projects, focusing on telling the client's story rather than imposing her creative preferences. The discussion explores how this mature artistic viewpoint creates design work that authentically serves the business owner's vision.

Business owners facing upcoming tax changes will appreciate Vince's timely advice to stay informed as potential legislation moves through Congress. He recommends maintaining open communication with all advisors – CPAs, financial planners, bankers – to navigate uncertainties successfully.

Whether you're assembling a professional team or seeking to improve collaboration within your existing advisors, this episode delivers practical wisdom on finding professionals who prioritize your outcomes over their ego. Listen now to discover how removing territorial barriers creates superior results and why the most valuable experts are those who, like great musicians, know when to shine and when to support.
