A CFO approach to personal and business finances.

There is so much more to finances and taxes than “See you next April.” Most people view their taxes as unpleasant and only think about them and their finances once a year. This normally leaves money on the table and misses what can be substantial planning and savings opportunities.

We do not believe that taxes should be done in a silo, so we take a CFO approach to help you achieve your goals. We determine financial strengths and weaknesses, propose corrective actions, offer strategic guidance for the next steps, help with tax preparation and filing, and much more.

Fern Hill CPA is a specialty firm dedicated to providing individuals, families, and businesses consistent guidance and strategic financial recommendations.
