We didn’t know what to do and Shelley was a tremendous help in filing an amendment from tax year 2015. We definitely would recommend her for all your needs! She is now our permanent tax accountant!!!! More...

This is our new CPA. So far we couldn't be happier with Shelley. I am disabled and it is not easy to get out & about, so Shelley graciously came to me.

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
You want it done correctly the first time. You do not want to have to amend a tax return.
For business accounting/bookkeeping work you also want your numbers to truly represent your company's performance.
You want an accountant who has demonstrated knowledge and has kept up with changes in both tax and technology.
You want an accountant who will give you the correct numbers and explain them to you in order to help you grow your business.
What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to help individuals and small business owners. I like to help get you either the highest tax refund or pay the least amount legally possible. Many times this can be accomplished by sitting down before the end of the year and implementing a strategy of things to do before the end of the year.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my first CPA firm out of my house about 23 years ago when my daughter was born. It made sense to be able to be home with her but still be able to work. I did that for about seven years but due to my husband's work had to move out of the area. I worked at various jobs since but always wanted to go back on my own. I finally did it this year. With all of the new tax law changes I knew that people were going to need good accountants/tax preparers and I was inspired to be one of them.
Why should our clients choose you?
I care about my clients. I want you to get value from my services. You are a person and not just a number. I have the required knowledge and experience to take care of just about all of your financial needs. As a CPA I personally do the work for every client and do not delegate it to someone else. My fees are also reasonable. I can give you value.
