Meeting Room

LET'S GET TOGETHER!

We believe in the power of office culture and impromptu meetings as we work as a team to quickly overcome issues for our clients. A warm and in-person welcome is what our clients deserve and it's this belief that's part of what draws them in and keeps them here. We can all agree that long-distance relationships just aren't quite the same, so if you're looking for remote work, we appreciate your interest in our firm, but we should probably just be friends.

​

Seriously, though, our clients expect us to be here. They love that we're open year-round, that they always have a trusted professional on their financial team, and they want to meet with us. We all know meeting over the computer or a phone call just doesn't always cut it. Our clients deserve the best service we can offer, and that means having an office they can visit and staff they can talk to in person. 

Live where other people vacation

Grand Junction is where other people go on vacation. We get to live in the heart of Colorado’s wine country with innumerable outdoor recreation opportunities (biking, hiking, fishing, boating, skiing, climbing… it’s all here.) We have low violent crime rates, low property tax rates, four seasons (with a dry heat summer), and we’re two hours from pretty much anything else you might be looking for. This is the place we’ve chosen to raise our children, and we can almost guarantee you won’t live more than 20 minutes from the office.

Grand Junction is growing fast, but we still feel safe and quiet. That’s why we love it here. You will too.

LIVING HERE

What's it going to cost me?

Frankly, it's possible you won't be making as much money as you would in a bigger city, but as a CPA you know cost of living is a factor that needs to be considered to help make a good decision.

​

There are a lot of tools out there to help you compare what you can expect to spend living in Grand Junction. The one we liked best is from NerdWallet, and it's linked below.
