They take the time to help us with whatever we need and are prompt in responding to us and resolving things when is the case. Great values. Professional. Knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Thank you Cherie.

I have used Landwehr Tax and Accounting for three years now. I opened my business four years ago, and once I swapped to Landwehr for my taxes (both personal and business) I was sooooo happy. Cherie is so responsive with questions and does a great job at making sure all the little details are handled. Ashley is also amazing at handling questions (which I tend to have a lot of!) when Cherie is not available. Overall I am pleased to trust Landwehr with my business, knowing that I will have professionals get t

We?ve been working with Cherie, Ashley, and the rest of the Landwehr team for about 5 years now. They?re always professional, accessible, and so, so helpful! I know that any time I have a question, I can send an email, and will get a very kind, swift, informative response. They?re an hour away from where we live, but will continue to use them for tax preparation year after year. They?re great!

I have been a client of Landwehr Tax & Accounting since 2006. Over those 16 years, I've never had to worry about the impact of major life changes on my taxes.

They are professional, knowledgeable, and great at building trust through their relationships!

I was going through a new CPA almost every year for a while after my CPA and friend had passed. I got a tip from a friend to call Cherie when they were still Landwehr financial. I couldn't have been more pleased. I have been with them ever since. I live 4-1/2 hours away now and I still have my taxes done with them. They always have my best interest in mind and are very professional. All I can say is "I'm so glad I found them".

We started using Landwehr for taxes in 2020 and are very happy with their services. My wife started a business since then and we couldn't have figured it out without their help. Not to mention the new business refunds we surly would have missed out on. I like their responsiveness both before and during tax season for the different questions that come up. I would highly recommend!

Cherri and her team are awesome. This has been my tax and accounting safe place since 2001. I called today with an important (for me at least) accounting question, but she was in a meeting. One of her skilled team members clearly responded my question in a matter of a minute. Efficiency and superb customer service. I wouldn?t go anywhere else myself. Thank you Cherie for 21 years of extraordinary professional support.

Cherie and team have helped me reconfigure my income taxes to take me from owing thousands of dollars at the end of each year to gaining a small refund the last two years. They are great to work with and very speedy in completing my return documents, allowing me to file on time even though I am a professional procrastinator. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!!!

My wife and I have used Landwehr Tax & Accounting for 5 years now. We love friendly and responsive service. They have consistently found our maximum tax refund. We look forward to seeing the team year after year and I highly recommend them.

We?ve been working with Landwehr tax for years. Cherie and the team go above and beyond to make sure we are up to date with the annual law changes.

Landwehr Tax and Accouting was listed on the Dave Ramsey website which is how I found it. I have been so pleased with how efficient and thoughtful working with this team has been over the years. I ran a small business for over a decade and they were able to process with me through the phase out of that along with all my personal finances. You will not be disappointed. Their heart means a lot when you are going through any transition. Highly recommend!

I have been using Cherie at Landwehr for a number of years for both business and personal. A lot of tax people that claim to be accountants are not. Cherie has been invaluable for accounting advise. Very professional and knowledgeable as well. She is the best accountant I have worked with. Jason

Cherie sat down with us, answered all our questions, and filed our taxes on the spot in under an hour. Ashley is also very knowledgeable and helpful! Both have been available throughout the year to answer the questions that have come up. After taxes last year, Cherie explained the new tax laws and how they would affect us in the upcoming year. We found Landwehr when we moved here a couple of years ago and so glad that we did!

I am so grateful for Cherie and all her staff! Her understanding and knowledge of the tax laws and business needs are beyond me. All I had to do was grant her Secure Accountant Access to my QuickBooks back in January and by last week my taxes were done. She is thorough and swift. As a 1st year business owner running my accounts, she took care of items I never would have known needed done, like sending out 1099s to vendors. I didn't have a W9 from one of my clients and Cherie's team made additional calls to

Having just relocated from Oregon, we were unsure of all the ramifications of the move. We were able to make an appointment, go over our past situation and our information was in the computer within a half an hour and we had a good idea of what was due each of the states we had resided in and what the feds would want from us. Easy peasy and we are happy!! Of course we were referred by Dave Ramsey. Update: Coming up on year 5 following our move from Oregon. While our status with social security and with

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

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.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

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.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

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.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

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.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

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.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

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.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

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.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

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.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

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.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

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.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

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.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

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.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

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.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

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.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

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.
