We are delighted to recommend the services of Cherokee CPA Services. Studio Twist's business model is unique, and we struggled to find a team that would take the time to learn our processes. We are very pleased with the time invested by Hope and her team to work with us as we continue to build our brand of custom knit textiles for the hospitality industry.
Cherokee CPA Services is a godsend. Bottom line. We were nervous turning over our accounts and books to a third party. We?ve bene doing things on our own for years, but we are getting too busy and too complicated to continue to do so. In came Cherokee. From the onboarding call with Erin, to the first meeting when we walk in the office and have our name on a sign to the CEO and primary CPA (Hope) greeting us to Ashley and Blake being dynamic. EVERYTHING about this outfit and EVERYONE in it is phenomena
I can't say enough good stuff about Cherokee CPA! They know their stuff and they are accessible. Any questions I've had they have answered quickly and gave me the confidence I needed to be more successful in my business. Highly recommend!
I've been working with Cherokee CPA and couldn't be happier with their service. They are incredibly knowledgeable, always responsive to my questions, and have helped me navigate all of my tax situations with ease. Renee & Blake are particularly outstanding - they explain everything clearly and go the extra mile to ensure I understand my finances fully. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional CPA
The whole team has been such a Godsend. As new small business owners I needed someone to just meet us right where we were at and help! They?ve come along side us and made everything so easy and bearable. They?ll do as much as you need or as little as you want. Every one of them is fantastic! You can?t go wrong with this choice or there could be big consequences. I have every faith we are being taken care of in entirety.

Hiring Cherokee CPA Services this year for my small business was one of the best decisions I?ve made. I was overwhelmed with managing my own books and taxes and spending time and energy on it that is better served taking care of my clients. They answer any questions I have promptly, are accurate and meticulous with my books, and above all are just kind and wonderful humans. You will not regret your decision to hire this group!
We?ve worked closely with Erin, Jennifer and Blake among others and they have been fantastic. We are a growing business and they help up with tracking the month to month details as well as projections. My wife and I are more big pictured focused and this firm helps us on the back end with the important things that we do not have the skillsets to do. We are blown away and thankful to have this relationship.

We have been using Cherokee CPA for about 8 months now, and I can't fully express how grateful we are for them.

She established my quick book accounts and continues to provide regular, scheduled bookkeeping services as well as advise when I do something dumb. I cannot imagine running my business without her. Terry Kraft, Owner LawnSouth, Roswell, GA
Just had a great experience with this firm. Called for a consultation and they were very honest in discussing my issue and suggested self-resolution, even providing the steps to follow, never once trying to get me to commit to any services. Would definitely suggest them if you are looking for a firm that is open, honest, and fair.
Fantastic service, they do our taxes and book keeping for two separate companies and couldn't do it with out their help. Super responsive, detail oriented and friendly.
Have been using Cherokee CPA for many years and have always been happy with their service.

Hope and her team are amazing. They handle both my business and personal accounting. Anytime I have a question they are quick to respond and always have an answer for me.
Scheduled a new client consultation through their website and got a confirmation email for the call but the day/time came and no one called. I waited 15 mins past the appointment time but never heard from them. Not a good first impression. Can't recommend because I never heard from them.
Great Service, great staff. I highly recommend Cherokee CPA
I have been using them for several years and am very happy with the service. They are responsive to questions and also at explaining things.

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.
