Absolutely great! 100% satisfied with the outcome. I'm new to filing 1099 and had a few years I needed to take care of. I was completely lost and had no idea what to do. I contacted Calvin at Sitto advisories and he was more than helpful. He got me in the office same day and had everything worked out in just a few meetings. Definitely has my business from here on out. I'll be recommending him to everyone I know!
Working with Calvin has been a great experience! Not only is he great to work with, but he?s very knowledgeable. Calvin?s customer-focused attitude lets you know that you?re valued. His turnaround time is incredible. I look forward to working with Calvin from here on out.
Calvin was so awesome!! I had a ton of questions about starting a LLC, book keeping, inheriting property and tax implications to all of that! He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Answered all of my questions and gave the best advice. I look forward to working with him more!!
I used this company for the first time to complete my 2021 taxes and Calvin did a phenomenal job. Calvin made doing my taxes quick and easy. He communicates better than any accountant I?ve ever had and his price is as fair as it comes! Thank you!!
Calvin is the best at what he does. He consistently goes above and beyond for his clients to make sure all of their needs are met. I look forward to working with Calvin for many years to come, and highly recommend him to anyone.

Talk about amazing service. Mr. Sitto has helped keep my business organized and is constantly available for me when I have questions. I recommend him for small and larger businesses. My former accountants never made me feel welcomed like Calvin does. Do not hesitate to sign up with him!

One of the best CPAs I have worked with in a long time. He was super attentive to all of my business needs and worked alongside with me to make sure I got the tax and accounting help that my business needed. He was very patient and helped educate me along the way. I highly recommend him!
I can't tell you how thankful I am for Calvin. After being screwed over by a CPA last year I was so hesitant to go down this path again. My taxes were filed wrong for years. Calvin spent the past week getting me back in working order. He was so patient, kind, and handled everything with so much grace and didn't judge me one bit. I finally have the confidences to start growing my small business, now that I know he will be a phone call/email away. Grateful to have worked with him.
Calvin is a very responsive and reputable CPA. He has extensive knowledge in tax and is always acting in the best interest of all of his clients. 5 out of 5.

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.
