"Chris and his capable staff at CB Smith & Associates helped me sort out a mess with a previous accountant about eight years ago, and they have been handling our accounting ever since. Working with them is as simple as uploading our payables and payroll during the month and having a monthly meeting with Chris -- making the accounting one less thing I have to worry about as a small-business owner."
