About Us

We are a full service CPA Firm with offices in Cherry Creek and Lakewood providing service throughout the United States and more recently in Canada and Europe. We not only prepare business and individual tax returns we prepare financial statements and perform audits, reviews and compilations. We have an extensive forensic accounting background and have been engaged specifically to find fraud. We have experience in for profit entities such as manufacturing, construction, real estate, nontraditional IRA providers, architectural and numerous other professional and medical industries. We service a wide variety of nonprofit entities as well as Governmental entities such fire departments, metropolitan districts and water and sanitation districts.

We pride ourselves on our responsiveness. As a matter of fact the single biggest reason we get new clients is because their CPA didn't call them back or called them back three days later.

How We Got Started

Quite frankly I knew I could take the typical CPA firm way of managing work and its office environment and actually manage it in such a way that a high quality of life was attainable without sacrificing profit and not working the customary "tax season" hours.

They met with us to discuss what we wanted to convey as a Firm to a site visitor. They kept us in the loop through the whole process and updates were added timely. More recently we opened a second office in Lakewood and Marc came to our office and set up the computers and peripherals. I called Marc the other day just to say "thank you so much the office operating so efficiently and its shows in our log in versus log out dates" "

We also do not charge for phone calls and encourage our clients to call throughout the year. Of course this results in word of mouth referrals. the firm grew by 50 returns from january 1-march 31

(more) quickbooks in general is a horrible program. The online version is just complete garbage. The online payroll for quickbooks just does not work. When it posts payroll it absolutely does not do it correctly. Sage 50 is head and shoulders better than quickbooks. the problem is intuit. They have horrible products. Unfortunately they acquired the Lacerte tax program a few years ago and it has become more and more unstable each year. I actually sent an email to the Executives begging them to sell Lacerte to another company so it could be great again.

freshbooks just lets you track costs and maybe revenues. its going to be a one sided entry of accounting information and not a true dual entry set of accounting records. if it is they need to improve their website. intuit and quickbooks are a terrible choice especially now with the online... (more) freshbooks just lets you track costs and maybe revenues. its going to be a one sided entry of accounting information and not a true dual entry set of accounting records. if it is they need to improve their website. intuit and quickbooks are a terrible choice especially now with the online quickbooks. intuit has destroyed every program they have acquired including lacerte tax software which used to be the best of the best. Start looking at sage50 as an option.
