Choosing a financial advisement firm is a stressful endeavor. You want someone you can whole-heartedly trust, is passionate about what they do and an expert in their field. Not all firms are created equal and I learned that while going through my own process of hiring a firm for my own office. Luckily, I was referred to Andrew by a friend and business owner. Andrew has been nothing short of amazing to work with. He is professional, responsive and just absolutely cares about the work he is doing! My staff f
Andrew has helped me uncover fees I didn't know I was paying with Wells Fargo Bank. Andrew taught us the value in fee only finacial advice and we are so thankful for making the move. Andrew has also helped us make financial planning straight forward and now we have a solid understanding of what we need for our future. He is easy to work with and will not sell you investment products. So thankful for you Andrew and The Blosser Harrison team.
Andrew is very knowledgeable and always strives to work hard for his clients. He always has time to sit and discuss my portfolio every time I've popped in even without an appointment. I recommend Blosser Harrison and Andrew for all your Wealth Management needs.
We started working with Andrew and his team a few years ago. They are second to none and I am one of those people who can find something to complain about. Being a small business we are always trying to maximize our dollars and income fluctuations make things difficult from time to time. We were abruptly put out of work and forced to close down due to COVID-19. Immediately and I mean immediately Andrew, Mike, Keri and Sam took care of everything for us. Cutting our insurance rates with the same and better c

Even with increased clientele you are still able to call or text and get a response almost immediately! They've helped my husband and I increase our financial knowledge and plan for our retirement. They do everything here? tax planning and preparation, 401k and pension, retirement, insurance- the list goes on and on! Everyone in the office is educated and friendly. It's a
Kerr Wealth Management has been one of the best decisions I've ever made when it came to my financial management. I do not have much money at all and they've given me a great plan and breakdown of how to achieve my goals. I met with other financial experts and they were overpriced or uneducated. Also, I felt like they really made me feel welcome as a person that is very uncomfortable handling different financial situations. I hope to keep them as my financial managers for the rest of my life.
Unbelievable service, Andrew is always available for my phone call at anytime. I feel at ease knowing that his team is always there for me whenever I need. This is the best recommendation that I could ever make, we are beyond happy.
If you are in need of a honest and hardworking team to manage your portfolio this is your choice . Andrew and his team far exceed our expectations daily to help us manage the crazy road of money management!
I have been working with Andrew for years and couldn't be happier. I referred friends and family. Customizable solutions for anyone building wealth and readying for retirement!
Excellent customer service. They really make wealth management for somebody like me, easy to understand and accomplish. I'm very grateful for Andrew and all the staff.
I am very happy with this company and would recommend anyone seeking financial advise to come here.
They are always available to help with any problem Quick to respond. Friendly staff

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.
