SF is a fun town. It’s not really that big; it has fewer people by far than Los Angeles or even San Jose. It punches above its weight, however, when it comes to business. It’s a vibrant town for start-ups, for example. It’s a vibrant town for banking. And it’s a vibrant town for international business. And if you need an accountant for business in SF that punches above its’ weight, then you need us at Safe Harbor.
To punch above your weight means to achieve something that might seem beyond your capabilities. It probably comes from boxing, since a lightweight who managed to knock out a middleweight could be deemed to be punching above his weight.
