Who We Are

Real accountants. Real relationships.

We started Summit because too many people only hear from their accountant once a year. We do it differently.

Our Story

Built on plain talk and straight answers

Summit Tax & Accounting was founded in 2009 by a small group of CPAs who were tired of watching clients get treated like file numbers at the big firms. We believed accounting should feel like a partnership — someone who knows your name, returns your calls, and looks out for your money all year.

Fifteen years later, we've filed over 2,400 returns and saved our clients millions. But what we're proudest of is how many of them have been with us since the beginning.

What We Stand For

The way we work

Honesty first

We'll tell you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear. No upselling, no fine print, no games.

People over paperwork

You'll always reach a real person who knows your situation — not a call center or a chatbot.

Always responsive

Questions answered within one business day. We move at the speed your business actually needs.
