As more Montana accounting firms are swallowed up by national chains, many small businesses are finding themselves paying more—while getting less. If your tax return was prepared by one of these larger, merged firms, it may be time for a second look. Here’s why revisiting your return with an independent, experienced CPA could save you money, time, and frustration.
Don’t Pay More for Less
When firms merge, they often raise their rates to support growing overhead—but delegate your work to junior accountants who may not fully understand your industry. That means you’re often paying top dollar for entry-level insight.
At our firm, we believe you deserve better. A second look at your tax return could reveal missed deductions, overlooked credits, or planning opportunities that big firms tend to miss.
Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better
1. Higher Fees, Lower Value
Larger firms often pad their fees to support corporate expansion. Yet your bookkeeping and tax work is frequently passed off to junior team members with limited experience in your specific business sector.
2. Lost Continuity
With every merger, your relationship with your accountant gets more diluted. You’re bounced from one staff member to the next, and no one sticks around long enough to understand your financial picture.
3. Cookie-Cutter Service
To scale quickly, large firms rely on standardized processes. That may be efficient for them, but it means your return is just another file in the system—where subtle, business-specific savings can easily be missed.
What Montana Small Businesses Really Need
1. Experienced Advisors
You deserve a CPA who not only knows accounting—but knows your business. Someone who can catch tax-saving opportunities early, help you optimize your cash flow, and guide you through challenges as they arise.
2. Fair, Transparent Pricing
Our fees are based on the complexity of your books—not on how many offices we have. You’ll get clear, upfront pricing with no hidden markups or inflated rates.
3. Personalized Service
You’ll work directly with a senior accountant who knows your history, understands your goals, and is available when you need support. Whether it’s a payroll question or a long-term planning discussion, we’re just a call away.
