I used to dread tax season. With Hartwell & Associates, I actually look forward to what they find. They saved me nearly $14,000 last year that my previous accountant had completely missed.
Finally, an accountant who actually answers my calls. I run three restaurants and they handle payroll, bookkeeping, and tax for all three. Couldn't imagine running my business without them.
When the IRS sent me a notice, I panicked. Hartwell handled everything — I didn't have to write a single letter. They resolved it in 6 weeks and I ended up owing nothing. Worth every penny.
Hartwell & Associates was founded in 2008 with one belief: small business owners deserve the same quality of accounting that Fortune 500 companies get — without the Fortune 500 price tag.
