Our Story

Stephanie Artino, CPA, has been in the accounting industry for over 20 years. With experience in both public accounting and private industry, Stephanie understands the day-to-day demands clients face. Her focus over the past 10 years has been to develop an advisory practice in her firm. In 2009, Stephanie was one of 10 CPAs in the US and Canada accepted into a Master Advisor program. This intensive 2-year program provided advisors with a focused perspective on helping clients identify and solve problems to reach their goals. In 2011, Stephanie received her Master Advisor Certification, after completing the rigorous 2-year program of study with honors.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help clients grow their profitability and overall value. What sets us apart from other accounting firms is our focus on the goals and end result of working with our clients. We've moved away from the hourly time clock and instead offer custom, fixed-price agreements that set fees and the scope of our work ahead of time. This approach eliminates unwanted surprises and allows us to focus on delivering real value to our clients.

Our Services

We offer a range of services, including:

• Financial Statements: We understand that most people's eyes will glaze over when they see a financial statement. Our goal is to not just prepare your compilation or review, but also to help you understand what the statements mean, how you can use them to grow, and most importantly, how others will view your business.
• Business and Taxes: Business taxes are even more complex than for individuals - not only at the Federal (IRS) level, but also by each state and local government that also wants their share of your pie. We can help you prepare and file your business income tax returns with the IRS and any other states as needed. We also want to help you blend your business strategy with taxes, so that you stay on track to achieving your goals.
• Individual Taxes: We can help take the confusion out of preparing your taxes and replace it with peace of mind. We can prepare and file your individual income tax returns with the IRS and any other state and local governments as needed.
• Not-for-Profit Taxes: Not-for-Profit Organization's have one of the most complex tax returns of all types of businesses. The IRS requires a substantial amount of disclosure in order to make sure you are following the rules to be exempt from tax. We can help you prepare and understand the tax returns and compliance for your organization, as well as provide advising to your Board of Directors on implementing governance policies and procedures to help preserve your tax-exempt status.
• Accounting Services: We can help you set up your books and records, file your quarterly or monthly payroll taxes, understand your statements, or anything in between. We also offer a 24/7 hosted access to our accounting software for you to run payables, receivables, payroll, and any other data entry in our system for you to view and adjust your records on a real-time basis.
