We had the good fortune of connecting with Ro Bourne and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ro, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
My business Bourne Alliance Group is a company that provides financial consultation services to individuals and businesses. One of the ways Bourne Alliance Group helps the community is through financial and taxation education. My company offers workshops, seminars, webinars, and podcasts on topics such as debt-to-income ratio budgets for individuals, budgeting for businesses, saving, investing, retirement planning, and tax strategies. These educational resources are designed to help clients improve their financial literacy and make informed decisions about their money & future. By sharing our expertise and experience, Bourne Alliance Group empowers not only our community but also the clients we have in all 50 states & worldwide! Our main goal is to educate our clients so they can achieve their financial goals and dreams.

What should our readers know about your business?

Business wise? Getting where Bourne Alliance Group is today requires constant education. I attended DeVry University and received a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in Finance. However, while obtaining my degree I started taking taxation classes. Once I received my degree it didn’t stop there! Remember, business growth requires constant education because tax laws always change. I test annually to stay up to date on the most recent tax law changes and read finance/ tax books written by other professionals. I am currently pursuing my Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA) certification from Yale University to better assist my high-net-worth clients. And last but not least, I have an amazing business partner & mentor. So, they played a huge part in where my business is today!

To be honest, it was easy. People have to be open to constructive criticism to grow as individuals and as a business! When running a business, you have to block out all distractions, surround yourself with the people that fit your future, and remove negative people from your life. My tribe made it easy for me.

I want the world to know that as an individual, you must always evaluate yourself and strive to become a better YOU. I believe in growth. You can be laughed at, mocked, and still come out on top.

As for my brand, I have worked diligently to get my business where it is today. Bourne Alliance Group is the premier financial solutions destination in Rockdale County. So, shout out to our loyal tax clients! Because of our clients, business has grown tremendously! I love what we do. We thoroughly enjoy educating our clients and providing the best service; not only do we handle taxes quickly and efficiently, but we also provide tax planning services, bookkeeping services, notary services, stock market education, cryptocurrency education, and we even have a firearms education class once a month!

Bourne Alliance Group is veteran-owned & operated, and we have assisted over 1,100 veterans since 2010 to date. We have gotten an average of 80% VA disability compensation for veterans with a 99.9% success rate! So, let’s just say we pride ourselves on ensuring our veterans are not forgotten about! Our motto here is “You Served. You Deserve!”

If you need a better tax office to work with or you’re a veteran that needs assistance with your VA disability, give us a call at    (770) 634-1932 or come visit us at our storefront at 2445 Salem Road NE Suite Q. Conyers, GA 30013

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
To be honest, going out is nonexistent to me; so, I’m not familiar with the hottest day/night spots in Atlanta. However, I love inviting my constituents to the Commerce Club to have an amazing view of downtown Atlanta while we discuss business.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

First, shout out to my amazing business partner/ life partner/husband, Peter Bourne! He has been the foundation of my success. He taught me what the epitome of discipline and sacrifice was. Peter is one of the most patient people I have ever met! He’s my favorite person! I give him credit because he helped guide me to where I am today. Because of my husband, I’ve had an amazing life. It all started from being a stay-at-home wife with children to him helping me build not only a business but a BRAND!

Second, shout out to my amazing children! They always remind me I’m doing an amazing job. I want to make sure I’m being the best example for my children. I love them so much.

Third, I would like to shout out my amazing mentor/friend Louise. I remember when I first met her in 2017, she gave encouraging words, and let’s just say the rest is history. She provided a solid foundation on how to present myself as a tax professional. I call her my accountability partner because we always do check-ins on each other. It’s bittersweet now because my dear friend will retire soon as a tax professional; as she should because she has been in the tax industry for over 30 years!

Fourth, shout out to my loyal tax clients!

Fifth, shout out to my fellow veterans for trusting Bourne Alliance Group to get them the compensation they deserve! Thank you, American Legion Post 77, for making me a member of the Executive Committee Board.

Last but not least, shout out to my amazing Chairman Oz Nesbitt of Rockdale County & fellow citizens for recognizing my hard work & achievements, making me a proud 2023 “Rockin’ Woman of Rockdale” award recipient!
