Susan and Edward did a fantastic job in preparing our family tax return. We were very complicated this year due to a private company transaction and the recent formation of an S Corp and the team was very hands-on each step of the way. I even got helpful reminders and tips for avoiding any issues next year. They were tested and I was impressed with the final consultation and Susan’s level of preparation with all the various nuances of our taxes. I would highly recommend their work.

I am extremely pleased with the personal service and professionalism of Clarke Public Accounting… First, they got me in quickly. Second, Susan is a very experienced accountant who is knowledgeable about unallocated support and she quickly gave me confidence she knew what she was talking about. Third, the office is stylish and comfortable, easy to get to, with ample free street parking. Lastly, Susan and Edward are friendly and conscientious. They get back to me quickly by phone and e-mail as needed. I feel completely confident in their abilities and at ease with them as my new partners to cover all my financial and tax needs. I cannot recommend them more highly!

We’ve been seeking advice from the owners of Clarke Public Accounting for several years now. We are a medium sized growing business and have a wide variety of tax needs–W2, investment properties, employees, and payroll. Susan at CPA is extremely knowledgeable–second to none–and has responded quickly with the specific advice we needed. The staff are very personable and caring. We feel really lucky to have found them.
