Mr. Harvard's firm has represented my personal and business interests for 6 years. There is no finer, more responsive firm for tax, accounting, and financial planning. John is an outstanding, caring, and valuable CPA to our family.

Recently my husband and I moved our personal & small business accounting to John Harvard. We had been with our previous CPA for about 10 years and were not especially unhappy. Our annual face time with our previous CPA averaged about an hour a year with maybe a phone call or two. Something just seemed to be lacking in that relationship. We didn’t feel that we were getting the proactive tax planning information that we needed. A CPA should be more than a guy who completes your tax return once a year or sees you 4 times a year. A CPA should take an active interest in the client’s individual needs and provide a stream of tax information along with upcoming projected tax liability as the client’s income changes. Initially, it was a difficult decision to make as changing CPA’s is not something to be taken lightly. However, during a meeting with John late last year regarding his interest in my business of promotional products , I discovered that talking to John was much easier than I have found with other CPA’s and that prompted me to discuss a possible change with my husband. Once we decided to make the change, my husband and I were delighted that John was much more forthcoming in making proactive suggestions regarding the business/personal tax liabilities both in the current year and for 2011. We liked that his manner was down-to-earth and he explained things in a way that was easier to comprehend. Not only is John very calm and patient (good traits for a CPA), but he has a great personality and a good sense of humor! It doesn’t hurt that he’s also a very good golfer, too!
