Keith, who is the principal is a lovely human and easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, as is Cynthia. The office manager, Latanya, though, is freakin' amazing - so organized and probably holds the whole thing together. They are great if you don't get into very complex corporate structures or obscure tax laws (such as QSBS rollovers), but once things get complicated, you should move to a bigger firm. My assigned accountant was Mark, and he isn't as organized as the others, but he has since left, and the company has merged with a company in the midwest. It was well timed because my companies have gotten more complicated, and I was ready to move to a bigger firm. Still recommend them for small businesses.

I have several issues with this company. 1. I emailed them…read moretwice through their "Contact us" on their website. No one ever got back to me. 2. I called today to get an appointment to see what they offered and explained what I was looking for. I was told that IF I became a client the hourly fee to meet with them would be rolled into my payment for services. But if not I would "just be responsible" for the regular hourly rate. I did not even ask what that was because the other companies I have reached out to have all met with me gratis for an initial consultation. I am self employed, I "get" the desire to be paid for one's services. But I also "get" that if you want new business you have to be willing to sell yourself and one should not be charged to shop. Needless to say, Carter & Co. are off my list of potential new accountant firms.

Scott and team were very friendly and helpful! We were able to ask all our questions and found their method of document transfer easy.

They worked hard to get our return in on time even though we came to them a little late in the season. It was a very laid back, non stressful experience. They certainly know how to do their job well!

I lost trust in the company after this and did not want to provide further personal information they requested nor continue in a client service agreement.

No partial refund authorized. Be careful with this company!​
