Our Story

Founded in 2009, Private Accountant Inc began with a simple mission: to provide small and medium-sized businesses with the same level of financial expertise that large corporations enjoy.

What started as a two-person operation in a small office has grown into a trusted team of certified professionals serving hundreds of clients across the United States. Our founder, recognizing the gap between complex financial needs and accessible professional services, set out to create an accounting firm that combines technical expertise with personalized attention.

Over the years, we've navigated economic changes, tax law reforms, and technological advances, always staying ahead of the curve to serve our clients better. Today, we're proud to be a leading provider of accounting, tax preparation, and business consulting services, with a track record of helping businesses save millions in taxes and streamline their operations.
