The Daffodil and its Relevance

When Julia was a child, she spent summers with her grandparents in Sussex, England. They built an estate and named it Beggar’s Roost. A towering hedge bordered the lane that wound along their house. On the other side of the hedge was a beautiful field of daffodils. Julia carried that memory with her throughout her life. So when it came time to start her CPA firm, the daffodil figured prominently in her logo design. After all, the spring blooms of daffodils coincide with tax season.
