Caleb and Brendan reached out to me over 12 years ago when I had recently divorced and was in need of financial advice. Needless to say, their friendliness and expertise convinced me that I needed their guidance and support. To present date, they have been accessable, given me timely advice, and have explained offerings to suit my needs. Always respectful and kind, and with admirable knowledge made understandable to a non-financially oriented person, these men have my ultimate trust.

Caleb and Brendan are the best! Start with absolute integrity that you can bank on. Layer on true expertise in all aspects of financial planning, especially where special need children are involved. Another plus is their amazing "bedside manner." Caleb and Brendan know how to listen, and they spent the time to fully understand my family's needs, goals and preferences. They are kind, thorough/ detail-oriented, and endlessly patient. Harty Financial is an excellent partner when you need to start or revi

I am very appreciative for Brendan Harty who spoke to me in detail about my complex family situation.

I have been a client since 2019 and the Harty's have served me well - they work to find the best investment fit for your needs and risk tolerance and never push or use sales tactics. They communicate regarding market trends adeptly, keeping level heads and make several recommendations for clients, again based on needs and risk tolerance, and never on panic or fear.

Caleb is a thoughtful and practical financial advisor. He has excellent communication and provides helpful guidance on financial decisions. I highly recommend working with him and his firm!

After 15 years of going with the "big guys" for financial solutions and investing, I decided to go with Caleb and Harty Financial for all of my life insurance and long-term investing needs. He analyzed my income, assets, and business, in order to assess what I actually needed versus what he could simply sell me. Once I trusted him with the small stuff, I transferred my investment portfolio to his team which resulted in better investments across individual equities and funds, rather than lumping everything

I have worked with Brendan for the last 10 years on both retirement plans and life insurance policies. He has demonstrated that he has extensive knowledge about both topics and how to integrate that knowledge into a beneficial tax strategy that will pay off when I plan retire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
