It has been a pleasure working with Brian. After partnering with Altus for just one month, they successfully recovered part of an outstanding debt that had been overdue for over a year. We highly recommend their services and look forward to future collaborations.
With a client portal, we were able to track all inbound and outbound calls, texts & correspondence between Altus and our delinquent account. In addition, we could track payments and account balance at all times. We were able to recover the full amount (minus fees) past due.
After a year of zero response from the company that owed us several thousands of dollars, we partnered with Mesa for a hassle free resolution that only took roughly two months to close. We would highly recommend!

Straight out of the gate........impressed. As a company who has been in business of over 30 years. We are proud to say we have never needed outside collection - just takes one time to completely throw you for a loop. After 8 days of research - reading reviews, checking license status, Better Business ratings, I narrowed my selection to 7 companies. Within 20 minutes I had a responds back for Jon of Mesa Rev Partners. Very pleasant - I advised our need and by the end of day, we were on our way. Guess when t
Super happy with this company as they jumped right on my collections matters I had for my business. Very knowledgeable and professional. With excellent results! Jon at Mesa Revenue Partners had answers to all my detailed questions on this process and was extremely helpful.
Mesa Revenue Partners was extremely helpful in providing information to me on my consumer debt collection issue. Even though they do not service consumer debt, the person I spoke with took time to discuss the relevant points and to point me in the right direction. Their professionalism and genuine care for the welfare of their customers is clearly evident and if I ever do have a commercial collection issue, I would only use them.
Altus recovered the bad debt promptly after being given the details, so we were very pleased to resolve the situation. I would recommend them.
Great to work with - provided real solutions in a difficult situation with an account who refused to pay their 1+yr past due invoice.
Been working with Mesa Revenue Partners for a few months now and they have helped us get collections on all the clients needed. Highly recommend!

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.
