The reviews speak for themselves. Tripp is very honest and nice. Very respectful. A good amount of people at the company I work for use Tripp for his services, and have for multiple years. The portal we use to file tax documents and communicate is so easy to use and understand. I can't thank Tripp enough for the splendid service over the years and I encourage all family and friends to use his services. Thank you very much, Tripp and team!
Great customer service!!! This is place where my taxes were done stress free :) Love Tripp, so much more when just accounting !! Highly recommend them!
I have dealt with Hristopoulos CPA?s for over 25 years for my business and personal accounts. There isn?t a CPA with more integrity and knowledge than Tripp Hristopoulos. He is efficient and when you call with a question, he responds right away. He has helped us so much over the years. We are very happy and confident in his work.
Tripp, who is the CPA, is the only tax professional I trust with my personal and business taxes. After hiring him, I could clearly see the differences in quality compared to my prior accountant and CPA. There is a reason why Tripp does not have a single bad review, it?s not a fluke. If you are looking to transition out of your current CPA or looking to hire a CPA for the first time, you cannot go wrong at all with hiring Tripp. He makes it his goal to take care of all your tax needs. On top of that, his off
We have been a very happy client of Tripp Hristopoulos for 23 years now. He is knowledgeable, professional, and has excellent expertise. We have utmost confidence in Tripp?s ability and the work he does for us. Really important to us is accessibility. He is always there whenever we need him. We highly recommend Tripp Hristopoulos and his team of professionals. You won?t go wrong.
I highly recommend this company. Tripp has been my CPA for many years. I have recommended many friends to him and they have also been very happy with the decision to use this CPA firm. He is very personable and nice. He is an expert and has easily handled multi-state and other complex issues for me in the past. You won't be disappointed.
Hristopoulos & Co are friendly, competent, reliable, knowledgeable, proactive, all at a fair price. I've been using Tripp for over 20 years. He helped me get my first small company onto solid ground followed by helping me through the tax nightmare of selling that company to a foreign buyer. Then Tripp kept me out of tax jail all throughout my solo years and other endeavors. So I couldn't imagine choosing anyone else to help me with payroll, receivables, payables etc for my new company which is going strong
Truly the best, most professional and competent accounting firm we have ever dealt with. If there is ever a question, it is answered promptly. We have a small business and they handle all our bookkeeping and accounting needs and also do our person tax returns. It has been a pleasure to work with them. We are not located in Colorado, but that has not affected the ease of our relationship at all. I highly recommend their services.
Tripp has done my taxes for four or five years now and I couldn't be more pleased. He has walked me through filing process as a first-time home owner, completed out-of-state returns without hesitation or complaint, and all for a very, very reasonable fee. He always makes time for me via email, phone, or in-person and is very communicative throughout tax season. Plus, the office's use of electronic tax organizers makes tax-filing a breeze every year.
I have been pleased with my experience with Hristopoulos. I chose to do my taxes with them this year and it was a smooth and easy process. They have a group of wonderful and friendly staff. I am looking forward to going to him again in the future.
My husband and I appreciate the support and sound advice we have received from Trip and Natalia. We have a small business with significant and detailed accounting needs. Since discovering Hristopoulos CPA?s, we have been relieved of the accounting tasks that were burdening us and stifling our growth potential. We highly recommend.
Trip and his team have always done an excellent job for us over the years. Great fast service, always eager to answer your questions no matter how busy they are. I would recommend their services to anyone without hesitation.
This is Tripp Clint office I am very successful since I am operating my business under his shadow a great person. Natalya payroll is the best of handling my payrolls on time thank you every one. Regards
Over the past 5 years it has been a pain to find an accountant and bookkeeper that are actually competent. I went to Hristopoulos CPAs with a mess and they were able to help file, save me money from previous years and get me in order for a seamless 2019. Many thanks to Tripp and his team for their diligence.
Couldn't ask for a better experience. Helped me make my taxes go smooth which is weight of my shoulders. He also was very present for all my questions and did not mind what so ever fully explaining it to me!
They have helped me with my personal and business tax return, tax planning, setting up a Solo401K, bookkeeping and ensure that nothing is missed. Have been working with them for over 8 years and if you are a business owner that wants to ensure that your business is well taken care of call them.
Tripp is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. He has helped my family and me navigate complex tax situations and has always been incredibly helpful and patient.
Tripp is new as our account and so far I am very pleased. I am a CFP, ask lots of questions, and ask for lots of colabrative planning and problem solving. Tripp has been great to work with!!
I was trying to decide whether I should become an independent contractor or employee of a company and wanted to get a professional CPA's opinion. He spoke to me on the phone and provided me with so much information! He didn't even charge me and answered all my questions very thoroughly. I am so excited to work with them in the future!
Hristopoulos & Co are great, trustworthy, easy to work with, and friendly! Tripp has helped me out many times for years we are very very satisfied!
Absolutely coming here again. The service was fantastic and friendly. All of my questions were answered quickly and promptly, if you have any questions you?ll find the answers here followed by a smile and supplemental information. Wish there was some award or 10/5 stars.
Tripp is very professional and prompt in handling any questions I have about my taxes and takes the time to explain nuances when needed. I would highly recommend his services.
Harold Massop Associates Architects greatly appreciates the support, advice and guidance from Trip and Natalya. Tripp and his staff are always very responsive as they show strict attention to details.
My family and i have been a client of Hristopoulos and Co for over 30 years with our person and business accounting. Tripp's knowledge and service is exceptional.
Over the last 23+ years, Tripp's firm has been outstanding, skillful, ethical and very professional handling all of my accounting and tax matters in a very timely way, going the extra mile, always being there for questions or concerns of mine or my admins, without question, they run an operation that I would highly recommend to anybody looking for a top notch and reliable accounting firm!

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.
