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

Hi Shackisha, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
The most important thing I’ve done as a parent in terms of the impact on my daughter is to spend quality time with her. The first relationship a child get to experience is the relationship with their parents. I want my child and future children to know that no matter how busy I am, I am still here to listen to you, laugh with you, nurture your growth, communicate, and all the things that come with having a great bond with your kids. My child knows what love is outside of a busy mom.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I became a small business owner in the field of finances because I am committed to informing, helping, & educating others, especially the more vulnerable communities of individuals. I also enjoy the freedom that being self-employed gives me to enjoy my personal life & to lead. I realized that I am creating a difference in my family as far as education and becoming the first to accomplish many things including graduating from college with my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education.

My goal is simply to help do my part in the world and act on my purpose by changing the minds and financial literacy of the people in my community. I was born in Jamaica and came from a poor community. I gravitated towards this field because I know I can make an impact and will continue to do so.

My career in December 2017 & started this business at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in January 2020. I have served over 500 clients collectively over the past 8 years. L.T.P has served over 200 individuals & families over the past 4 years. We build our business by building rapport & gaining referrals from current clients. Our biggest accomplishments were serving the community, and volunteering to teach the children about taxes & finances, & we have been featured in 7 different magazine articles since 2020 and will be 8 including this one.

Lifetime Tax Professionals provide tax preparation, health insurance, life insurance, and business services as of December 2024. We just opened up a new location at 1775 Parker Rd Suite 210, Conyers GA 30094.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well I am Jamaican, so we will go anywhere where there is good food & music. I would go to either a comedy show such as Uptown Comedy Corner or even an outdoor event like IglooAtlanta. Ipic is also great for a night out on the town. My favorite Caribbean restaurant is Escovitche in Snellville. There’s plenty to do in Atlanta.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
God deserves the credit. I come from a tough background where there was no nurturing whatsoever. My faith has kept me headstrong. I also love being a mother to my daughter. She is the reason why I kept going for so long. My goal is to continually be here for her and show her the way.
