The Story of Argo...

We are frequently asked “Why Argo” when our client’s hear our name.  No, we did not choose the name because we were huge fans of the movie by the same name.  Rather, when it came time to pick a name for our firm we wanted to convey some basic concepts of our client approach.  As consultants, we don’t want our clients to just think of us as accountants, but rather part of their financial team.  We are available for our clients to help them navigate their business decisions, so they can focus on what they do best.

Per Wikipedia, the Argo, meaning swift in Greek, was was the ship on which Jason and the Argonauts sailed from Iolcos to retrieve the Golden Fleece.  She was named after her builder, Argus.  Argo was constructed by the shipwright Argus, and its crew was specially protected by the goddess Hera.  According to a variety of sources of the legend, Argo was said to have been planned or constructed with the help of Athena.  According to other legends she contained in her prow a magical piece of timber from the sacred forest of Dodona, which could speak and render prophecies.  After the successful journey, Argo was consecrated to Poseidon in the Isthmus of Corinth. She was then translated into the sky and turned into the constellation of Argo Navis.
