Absolutely amazing service and results! I presented Patrick with the worst mortgage situation ever in hopes he could turn my dire situation around. I had taken out a HERO loan for Solar that ended up to be a scam, I was paying an enormous amount in taxes each year, my house payment was extremely high and had a financial situation that did not make me the most attractive to banks. Patrick was up front with me from the beginning and indicated that refinancing my current loan was going to be a lot of work on
I was referred to Patrick through my uncle who was buying a house in 2009 and recommend i call too. Patrick was really knowledgeable about each loan and helped through my home purchase. To this day 11 years later we still keep in contact. I would recommend Campbell Financial Services every time
Campbell Financial Services was a blessing for us! Patrick was knowledgeable and professional and walked us through the process every step of the way. He went above and beyond and we felt like we had a friend that we were doing business with.
I purchased my first home, on my own, with Campbell Financial. I was ignorant to the process and Patrick was patient, helpful, and trustworthy. Without his guidance, I could have been taken advantage of and made huge errors with everlasting, negative consequences. I have also refinanced several times with Campbell.
Patrick always goes the extra mile for everyone. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides great communication! I have complete "peace of mind" when he is handling a loan transaction - and trust him 100% that he is on top of everything.
Highly recommend Campbell Financial Services! I Have known kevin for quite sometime. Very professional in going over your tax returns efficiently and in a timely manner. Explains it thoroughly and responds back fast. I would not choose anywhere else. I am overall very satisfy and would give 10 stars if I could.
We are very thankful for Patrick, he is professional and answer all our questions he made himself available, he refinanced our home. We will definitely reach out to him in the future. Great experience, we recommended our friend and he was also pleased with his service. Thank you, Fernandez
Patrick helped us in many ways with our loan. If you need any help or information on loans, he's the guy to talk to.
My wife and I loved working with Pat. He helped us purchase our home. Pat made everything so easy and he was very informative. We are definitely coming to him again when we purchased our next home.
I've always gone to Campbell financial for all my lending needs. They've helped me so many times with buying a house, refinancing, and advice on when to invest in a new property. They always put my financial stability above everything else. I've always told all my friends and family to go to them for all their lending and have never had anyone seek another lender afterwards.
Can't say enough kind words about Patrick. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he's also a great guy. Goes above and beyond to answer any and all of my questions (A LOT), and is always so happy to hear how I'm doing. Thanks Patrick, I'll be back for our next purchase!
I've been working with Campbell Financial Services for nearly 10 years. He's helped me financed 4 properties. The best thing about this institution is their personal attention to their customers. All credit to their staff and the upper management.

Five Stars all the way around.
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.
