You’re not just a number

Our expert CPAs don’t just see you as a client ID. The quaint size of our firm grants us the benefit of knowing you by name but is big enough to allow us to provide valuable expertise through the ever-changing tax world.

We take a proactive approach

Every tax situation is different, and each scenario introduces varying factors that can affect the way you handle your company’s state and federal tax filings. Whatever your situation, our team of tax specialists has one mission: to provide you with a proactive tax plan using real-world, accurate projections that reflect the best possible tax scenarios for your small business.
We’re here all year

Taxes don’t only occur from January to April. Significant tax events can happen anytime. That’s why we provide Columbia accounting services for small businesses all year long, right here in the same office we’ve been in for the last 27 years.
