David Hansen and the staff at PPG have been taking great care of me and my taxes.. They take care of my finances and allow me to focus on my job! Do yourself a favor and reach out to David if you need a competent CPA!

DAVID HANSEN IS THE BEST ACCOUNTANT I HAVE EVER MET!!!! He has managed my families taxes for many years + has assisted us through a variety of tax issues: Lawsuits, W2, 1099, and Moving to 4 different states. We have had different taxable income every year, in different locations across the US, and with a great variety of circumstances - and he and his team have done our taxes FLAWLESSLY. 10/10 RECOMMEND PPG PARTNERS!

David is always available to take my phone calls to discuss my practice financials. I utilize his services at all hours of the day despite not being the only practice he works with.

Highly recommend if you're looking for an accountant you can grow with over the next 25 years.

PPG and their staff are knowledgable, responsive, and take a creative approach to our companies' accounting needs. Daily accounting, payroll, investments, etc., they can do it all. I highly recommend PPG.

My wife and I have been getting our taxes done by David for years, and we won?t go to anyone else! He gets everything done in a timely manner and is knowledgeable and thorough.

The PPG staff is professional, friendly, and always very timely. In all of our dealings, they have carried themselves with integrity and organization. Additionally, they are great people outside of the office as well!

Having spent over 30yrs in financial services as well as having worked closely with the IRS, Department of Labor, accounting and law firms across the country, I can honestly say that PPG is one of, if not the, most arrogant, incompetent, unprofessional and I unknowledgeable firms I?ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with. You?d definitely get better service and not be brutally overcharged if you visited any other firm in our country.

PPG has been our accounting firm for the past 20 years. They are extremely competent, conscientious and respond to any questions we have. I strongly recommend them for any of your accounting needs.

PPG Partners has been my accountant for many years and they have always been professional, providing spot on guidance on all matters of tax and retirement planning. Whether you are a corporation or an individual I would highly recommend their services.

I have been with PPG for a few years now. They are detail-oriented and always get things done on time. Would definitely recommend

We have been using PPG Partners since 2008 for our business and personal accounting needs. Hands down the best! Never questioned their credibility, expertise or professionalism.

Complete, patient, and kind in their work on the filling of my income taxes. I have somewhat unique needs for my taxes and they take care of them year after year with the same level of great service. Thank you!

You really want someone doing your taxes that put money in some one else?s account? And then try?s to take it out three times when they should of done it once. These people don?t know left from right. They have been messing with this now for almost a year. Then we were told I will e mail you where you need to pay and send it to. Never heard from them for like months. Until we get a letter from there lawyer REALLY. I would run fast away from this company.

Ben and the other staff at PPG are wonderful to work with. Ben is professional and knowledgeable!

Have worked with them for years. They are competent and reliable. Responses to my questions are almost always received instantaneously.

What a VAST improvement over my previous tax preparer. They asked brief, concise questions and got the job done. Thanks so much.

I worked with David Hansen. Excellent service! I would highly recommended working with him!

DAVID HANSEN IS THE MAN TO SEE. ALWAYS VERY QUICK AND PRECISE WHEN DOING MY TAXES. HIGHGLY SUGGEST THESE GUYS

The best and knowledgeable CPAs around!!

You can count on them

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.
