I had an excellent experience working with Metcalf & Company! They prepared and filed my tax return, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Sarah was fantastic to work with?professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. I truly felt taken care of throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient tax services
Only Metcalf & Company!!! Saved me over $12,000+ on tax strategy alone on my 2024 taxes. I can't put a $ figure on peace of mind. I have had Metcalf & Co as a strategic board member since 2021 and have never looked back. So many pluses when you partner with Cam and Connor and their phenomenal team. I have three businesses that represent these recommendations. I can not recommend this company enough.
We have worked with Metcalf & Company for over 3 years. The entire staff is great to work with and have helped navigate our medical practice since we opened our doors. Our experience has been flawless. I would highly recommend their services to a new start-up or an existing business. Great people and great staff.
These are great folks. I?ve been using them for years . The business has grown and with that comes growing pains. Always be patient and it will always get done. Thanks you Conner and staff for being sure everything is in and accounted for. May God continue to bless your family and business.
I have been using this service for a few years now and I couldn?t be happier. Mr. Metcalf and his son both take the time to break down exactly what?s happening with your taxes and they maximize your return. I will continue to use them for years to come due to the personal time they take to ensure we are on the same page.
As a small business owner, Metcalf & Company LLC makes my life SO MUCH EASIER when it comes to keeping my books in order. Robin is a rockstar, and she is so patient with me when I reach out needing assistance or with questions. I know that my business accounts and taxes are in great hands!

We had such an easy experience with Metcalf & Company! They were willing to answer ANY questions we have and still are. Their app is extremely easy to work with, they got our taxes done with just a few conversations over chat.
Cam and Connor are phenomenal!!! From bookkeeping, tax preparation (both Corporate and Personal), and strategic planning, they do it all for me and my two businesses. I think of Metcalf & Company as a board member for my businesses and a sounding board for my long-term financial plan. I highly recommend them and I would encourage anyone reading this to go talk with Cam and Conner. Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for the lack of council, but with many advisors, they succeed.
Very thorough and takes time and effort to really help clients. 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.
