Easily the top accounting firm on the wasatch front. I have worked with 4 other accounting firms over the years and no one comes close to the know how, technical knowledge, or professionalism exhibited by Bement & Company. I have recommended them to all my family members due to the difference in service I have experienced.
Best accounting firm I've ever worked with. Brent and his team are fantastic and I can't say enough good things. What sets them apart is their personalized approach. They took the time to understand my unique financial situation and goals, and they provided clear, actionable advice that made tax season a breeze. Thanks to Bement, I saved more money than I expected and gained peace of mind knowing my finances are in expert hands. If you?re looking for a reliable, professional, and client-focused accounting
Lots of "apologies" with little effort put forward. We sent numerous emails stating how disappointed, lost and confused we were with our taxes. In the end left going to another firm, with a huge mess. If you want to learn everything not to do in business and want to run your self to the brink of panic. Then these are your people.
Working with Brent at Bement and Co has been excellent! Professional, timely, good processes. After working with Brent I enjoy taxes! It is not a stress or burden; it is an empowered process through education. It is fun, it is a game, but you have to learn the rules first. If you have any hesitancy about your current CPA or delving into taking more control of your taxes, Bement and Co is the best of the best. Highly recommend.
I have worked with Brent for a couple years now and he is amazing! Shara and Charla have been great helps with my book keeping and everything taxes. They all explain everything to me in terms I understand and are very attentive.

Brent and the team have been amazing to work with. They are so knowledgeable, and professional. They reviewed a return that I almost submitted which was prepared by another company, and they were able to show where I was due a return rather than an additional heavy tax bill. I highly recommend them to all. I am grateful to be in good hands. Thank you Bement and Company!!
Absolutely horrible! Since day one I saw red flags. Jamie wanted to reschedule my first appointment on the day of, because she wanted to go to the movies with her son. Maybe you shouldn?t list those days as available on your calendar. I provided all my personal information and nothing was done. I had to email Jamie multiple times because she failed to respond after a week of me asking her how to pay them. Can you imagine? I still paid 50% of the invoice and nothing was done (their words). Brent even had the
I was recommended to them by a friend. I met with an employee in person in their office , and they were very friend helpful. She said they could help with any questions. When I actually started doing my taxes with them, I couldn?t get my questions answered by email. They said if I had additional questions I could do a Zoom call. I had a zoom chat and I asked him about what can be considered business expenses, and also how much I have to pay on a retirement fund withdrawal. It was a frustrating call becaus
We have been with Bement & Company for many years and find them to be professional, fair and efficient. When Brent took over after the passing of his father we never lost an ounce of confidence in the company and Brent have proven to be as professional as his father was.

I had a great experience doing my taxes with Brent at Bement & Company this year.

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
