I cannot recommend CMP more. They've gone way above and beyond several times. If you need accounting help, don't bother with anyone else. This is the team you need regardless of how big your company is. Josh L. is fantastic and he's who I recommend to my friends and family when they ask.

I recently had three complex tax returns completed by Elizabeth Higgs. I am blown away by the professionalism and talent that she exhibited throughout the process. Not only did she finish my returns in record time but made sure I understood the process and next steps at each point during the returns. This was the most stress free return I've experienced. Thank you again Liz for all your amazing work and time!

Best accountants in the state! I've always done my own taxes through HR and Turbo but had a few too many forms this time around and decided to have them done by Brady. He opened my eyes and explained some extra credits I was eligible for, answered all my dumb questions, and helped me and my wife get the biggest return we have yet! We have told all our friends and family to use these guys because they're the best in the business!

Shaun Morrow was very responsive, professional, friendly and was a great help with my corporate tax return. I was in need of getting the job done in a very short time frame and although it was a very simple return he treated me as if my return was still very important. He understood the urgency that I had for completing my return and made me feel that my return was just as important as a larger corporations' return. I would recommend Shaun Morrow to anyone!
