What sets us apart from other CPA firms in Southern New England quite simply is our people. Besides holding positions in some of the largest CPA firms in the country, our principals have experience that includes serving as Chief Financial Officer and later as President of a privately owned company. In addition we also have a tax lawyer in the firm. While credentials are important, it is the breadth of experience and what we do with our credentials that sets us apart. We have been on your side of the table and thus have a unique perspective and understanding of your needs and interests. At the same time, we are highly trained and specialized to meet all your financial and business consulting needs.

While our mandate is to provide our clients with the highest level of quality and responsive service, it is important for you to know that our firm's standards and practices are reviewed by an audit team appointed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This is an internal review group made up of our peers and serves as a quality control unit amongst all members.
