Chris is everything I need in a CPA: accurate, fast, organized, convenient, friendly, and trustworthy.
I'm the owner of a 10-year-old online small business. As my company has expanded, it has become challenging to stay on top of my bookkeeping and accounting. Chris is a breath of fresh air: he enables me to focus on running on my business because I know he's got my back when it comes to my books and taxes. Let me break it down:
- Accurate: After retaining Chris, he immediately found, corrected and provided guidance on errors on my returns. It helps that he has impeccable attention to detail; nothing gets by this guy. It also helps that Chris' previous work involved 20 years of experience in public accounting and internal auditing. If you want to make sure your taxes are done correctly, it doesn't get much better than having an auditor on your side.
- Fast: Chris is efficient and responsive. I can count on him to respond to any requests or inquiries within 24-48 hours (often much sooner). He also accomplishes tasks quickly and keeps me updated with his progress. Often times it is more him waiting on me than the other way around.
- Organized: I have never spoken to someone as organized and articulate with his thoughts as Chris. This comes from his experience serving as a senior executive. When you have a conversation with Chris, you can count on him to succinctly and clearly summarize next steps and todos for both you and him. I always know what I need to do next with Chris.
- Convenient: Chris is all about systems and processes. He really goes the extra mile to make everything easy for his clients. His Dropbox and Quickbooks Online system works like a charm. I can always see what he has done, whenever I want, without having to ask.
- Friendly: Accounting (especially when there are problems) is not exactly the most easy thing to talk about. Chris is always amiable, making it easy to problem solve and productively discuss what are inherently complex and sometimes stressful topics.
- Trustworthy: Trust is best earned over time, but even though I've only been working with Chris for a few months, he has earned mine. It's the overall package -- Chris reworked two years of my past taxes quickly and accurately, and patiently guided me through the entire process. Combined with his years of experience in accounting and auditing, his innate efficiency and organizational skills, his ability to clearly communicate, and his proactiveness when it comes to improving your accounting situation, you really feel that he has your best interests at heart.
Running a business is all about surrounding yourself with top notch talent. I am happy to say that Chris is exactly that, and recommend him without hesitation if you are a small business in search of a quality CPA. read more
