The most important thing a business owner can ask from their business advisors is to have trust in them. There is no one that I deal with that I have more trust in than the folks at Whalen CPAs.

Richard, Lisa, Patrick, Bruce and the team of associates at Whalen CPAs are truly exceptional. Genuine; customer-focused; and readily available to respond to any question, issue and request related to our tax and accounting needs — regardless of who in our business asks it. I consider the Whalen team an extension of our business — critical to its operation; and vested in its success.

They are always looking for ways to help our businesses and keep us informed of changes in regulations or tax law that affect our businesses. It’s invaluable to have a team of accountants that are looking out for you, like they do at Whalen CPAs.
