Being self employed for a while, I've had a few CPA?s over the years. However, i have never had one as easy to work with as Kim! She was attentive, thorough, and very efficient. I needed my taxes done in a timely manner, and she had them filed quicker than my expectations. I'm happy to say I've finally found my CPA!

As a w2 mortgage broker, Self-employed business owner, and real estate investor, There are many unique characteristics to my returns, and Edwards CPA can handle every detail with ease and expertise.

I highly recommend Edwards CPA - the staff is very responsive and they got my tax return filed quickly. They are helpful when questions come up and are always friendly. A+++++
I was looking for my first CPA and really had no idea where to look. I reached out for some recommendations and only received a couple from my network. But one of them was Edwards, and they were the closer option and I decided to reach out to them. And I'm happy I did. The entire process was friendly, seamless and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. Along with my taxes they were able to answer questions for me about other accounts. It's great to have a human to talk to about this stuff instead of just tr
Kim has helped us navigate the tax implications and formation of my home-based business following my retirement. I recently contacted the office about a possible change to my tax status and health plan and it was easy to schedule a quick appointment and review my options. No issue is too small and she gives excellent guidance and advice for my second career financial choices and we could not be happier.
Kim handles my taxes for my LLC, and does so quickly with clear communication. She's always quick and accurate to answer any questions I may have for her, even if very general business questions not directly related to the tax return she's doing for me. They utilize every appropriate deduction, help me understand when needed, and get things squared away with absolutely minimal effort on my end. Thank you to all involved.
My experience with Kim professionally has been outstanding. Kim not only dedicates a considerable amount of hours towards self education as a CPA, but is also very time efficient with her work. She has provided outstanding service for both myself and my clients at cost that is well below market value for a CPA. Additionally, I have always appreciated her teams "family friendly" atmosphere and would recommend individuals filing returns of all sorts. Affordable personalized service is what you get from Kim a
Kim immediately found several issues that were missed by a previous accountant, all of which were in our favor and resulted in a refund. This makes a huge difference in our small business taxes. Kim provided value up front and made it an easy decision to switch and use her firm going forward. Thank you, Kim!
Excellent, personable service from a top notch CPA, Kim Edwards! Kim's extensive background and knowledge regarding taxes and all financial and facets of my business is of the highest quality. Not only is she professional, and business savvy but she is able to convey financial language to a non financial person like me. Her prices are very reasonable and I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and with Kim you definitely do. She goes above and beyond in every way.
We moved to NH at tax time 2017 and at the last minute our accountant in TX notified us that she wouldn't be doing our tax return for that year. Kim was recommended by a neighbor and when I contacted her and explained our predicament she immediately took charge and filed an extension to buy us time to get our documents to her. She then filed our return, and with way better results than we'd had in the past. We have income property and she maximized our tax savings more than we'd expected. We've worked with
Kim and the rest of the team here are absolutely amazing, diligent, passionate, and also just so efficient. I feel a great sense of peace knowing they are in charge of my taxes and truly have my best interests at heart. SO much gratitude!
Im sure I have to be an accountants worst nightmare so for Kim to take me on as a client is a miracle. My husband owns a Drivers Education school and I own a Hair studio. He is more organized than I am but neither one of us can brag about the accounting part of our business. Kim has been preparing our tax's for the past 4 years, it definitely takes allot of stress off of us knowing she is handling the numbers rather than us trying and do it. There is a huge sense of relief when you can put your trust in s
Wow! Kim just saved us over 15K on our business!! She's not only a brainiac, and beautiful, she's a professional who loves helping business owners benefit every which way possible!

Kim and her team were incredibly understanding, supportive, and patient. Dealing with tax season is so stressful and we had been burned by prior accountants not taking the time to support us as best as possible. Kim and her team understood our anxiety and worked diligently to review every aspect of our complex tax situation. We highly recommend her as an accountant and overall trustworthy human!
I started working with Kim in 2018. My business was growing rapidly and I needed guidance in some areas. Kim and her team were incredibly helpful in immediately getting things done and providing the service and information that I needed for my business. Along with providing an unmatched service on my tax preperation, I got notice from the IRS that I was being audited for 2016/2017. Although Kim and her team did not handle the 2016 tax return she was more than willing to help and represent me throughou
Kim has been great to work with. Smart, responsive and goes out of her way to help and educate clients. We have a new business and needed to organize and set up our business accounting. We are confident in Kim?s advise and experience and thankful we found her and Vicki to help us with all of our accounting needs.
"Debbie and I want to thank Kim Edwards from the bottom of our hearts! We really do believe she is an angel sent from Heaven. Let me tell you why. We had an IRS audit hanging over our heads for about a year. Our former tax person got sick among a few other circumstances and literally we were left holding the bag. We really didn't know where to turn. We had a final appointment scheduled with the IRS on Friday following our company?s annual Extravaganza with 5 days to go. They were coming to our house. We had
Kim and her crew are AMAZING!! They did my taxes and saved me $$ this year. They were also help me with getting the past year taxes fixed. The last CPA i had didn't care. Kim and her staff do! I honestly wish she was on my team in the beginning of my business
Kim was so extremely helpful and responsive when I reached out to her for help with my nonprofit. Not only did she help us prepare our tax return but she also personally helped me with a grant application. I felt so comfortable speaking with her and knowing our organization was in good hands.
I recently found Kim as I wanted a New Hampshire accountant who could take care of my multiple businesses. She has become a great asset and I recommend her highly.
I couldn't be happier with the services I receive at Edwards & Associates. As a small business owner it is so important to have knowledgeable and professional people looking out for my accounting and tax needs. Kim is amazing and I highly recommend her and her team!
Kim was super knowledgeable and great to work with. We were extremely impressed with their attention to detail, ease to work with and positive attitude to get our business on the right track. Their online portal is extremely easy to use and makes sharing documents simple and quick. We are very happy we found Edwards CPA.
This year was the first time using a tax accountant and I was not disappointed! Kim does a thorough job and is very responsive. I was not easy to work with but Kim was able to get me a better return then I could have expected! I will definitely be using them again next year. Thank you!!
After speaking with 4 other accountants, I chose Kim becuase she took a genuine interest in helping me. As a first time business owner, and alittle nervous at the unknown concerning taxes, she took what I deemed complicated and made it simple. She explained everything and was very reassuring. Blew my mind at how much money she saved me. If your looking for a decent CPA go see someone else. If your looking for outstanding, and want to save money go see Kim and her team at The Edward's CPA Group. You have no

Kim and her entire team are responsive and straightforward; they understand our very complex tax needs and help me navigate my way through it with confidence. I feel fortunate to be their client.
I have been in business for over 25 year I wish I had her doing my taxes back from the beginning. The first year I had Kim do my taxes. I got a refund. WOW. It makes me wonder if I had her from the beginning I would of been sitting better financially. The best for my business, how about yours?
Very pleased with the professionalism and exceptional job that Kim and her staff did. She knows her stuff as she found us $4300 + on a previously done tax return by another accountant! We will be entrusting them with our taxes from now on!!
Kim did an amazing job helping me re-instate a non-profit status. She was attentive, easily accessible, answered all of my questions in a timely manner and got the job done. I highly recommend Kim Edwards of Edwards & Associates.
Kim and her staff are top notch! They have helped my new business navigate the waters of taxes. They respond quickly, and are very approachable when it comes to a very complex topic. I highly recommend Kim and her staff to help anyone.
I don't know how there could possibly be a negative comment about Edwards & Associates! This is by FAR a five star business! The previous 1-Star comment is so perplexing as no good firm gives any kind of advice or cost over the phone to a complete stranger! I made my appointment to meet with Kim Edwards and she was very up front, friendly, informative, helpful and SO professional! Do yourself a favor and ignore people who can judge so quickly without even making an appointment. (Also, the 1-Star commen
I am a co-owner of a driving school in central nh. Kim and Vicki at Edward's CPA go above and beyond in helping us make smart business decisions that are the best option for us. They advise us in many financial aspects of our business. We wish we found Kim years ago!
Highly recommended!! This is my first year as an adult doing my own taxes and I was so anxious about the process. Within the first few words of my conversation I felt at ease! She explained the process in such simple terms and let me know exactly what she needed from me, then what to expect through the rest of the process. I am beyond pleased that I chose the Edwards CPA group!
Kim responded courteously and very helpfully to my question within hours.
Kim and Vicki are the BEST! They are always accommodating to our busy schedules and have given us the most professional and caring service. We will not choose anyone else to handle our business taxes!!
Kim found money for me I never would have found doing my own taxes. She is the very best; and I appreciate the peace of mind I have putting my trust in her.
Kim has been our accountant for two years and has been great! She has been very responsive and always able to answer questions when they come up.

?TOP NOTCH service from The Edwards CPA Group! As the owner of rental properties and our residence in southern states, tax preparation was by far so much easier than ever before. Not only did they assist with our taxes, Kim worked with us on financial advisory and planning for the upcoming tax year. Secure File online was so user friendly and made it especially simple to organize and upload my documents without faxing, mailing, or having endless files of paper to deal with. I knew everything was safe a
Kim and Vicki have provided my company with professional and personal service. They are knowledgeable and responsive. Highly recommended! Tom, Owner, Clearwater Septic Design, LLC
Edwards CPA Group discovered that I had unpaid refunds with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and I received over 8 thousand dollars with interest from Mass DOR. These unpaid refunds date back to 2019 and 2017 when I still lived in Massachusetts and when I was using a different tax preparer. Thank you Edwards CPA Group!
Outstanding service. I have been with this group for a long time and have always found them to be readily available and responsive to any questions and concerns. They work with my financial advisor which makes financial decisions seamless. Absolutely recommend.
Kim is amazing. She gave me the resolution to my issues and tax relief! Customer for life! Alanna Dryden
If you do not use Kim, then you are making a huge mistake! Kim has truly helped our family business books, and she truly knows her stuff!

Couldn't be more pleased with The Edwards CPA Group. Always responsive, goes the extra mile in every way.
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.
