What Our Clients Have To Say

Andy at Certified Advisors has been preparing my taxes for years. The attention is always personalized and every year I'm left with confidence that I am receiving every dime that is rightfully mine. Recently I've become more interested in investing and growing my portfolio, and the same dedication has been experienced. His services are tailored to my level of interest and willingness to spend. I highly recommend Certified Advisors for all your accounting needs big or small.

I've been searching for a CPA, ever since acquiring some rental properties... And Certified Advisors has fit the bill! I've been working with Andy, who has been great. He's very knowledgeable and responsive. I feel like he has my best interest at heart, and isn't just trying to rack up an invoice. So happy to have found him, and look forward to continuing working with him in the future!

My girlfriend and I both started our own online businesses in 2020, and this was the first year where I felt like my taxes got too complicated to file by myself. I was pretty nervous about it, and kept putting it off. Certified Advisors was a great solution for me and really helped to take the pressure off. So if you ever find yourself procrastinating on filing your taxes, do yourself a favor and get in touch with Andy at Certified Advisors. He basically took all of my stress away immediately, and I feel much better now.
