Client Testimonials

“The service was excellent. It fits our needs perfectly. If you aren’t sure, always go for accounting services. Accounting services is great.”

- Lucienne N.

“Working with Wilder & Associates really saved me time and effort so that I can focus on other areas in my business. The “common sense” approach to their accounting services is exactly what our business has been lacking. Their accounting services was worth much more than I paid. Tremendous value!.”

- Abner .

“It was very easy to work with you and your team this year. Before your service, my business was drowning in IRS taxes. Our previous CPA was more expensive and didn’t cover all the allowable deductions our business qualified for. Therefore, we were unable to reinvest money back into our business. With your team working on our business monthly accounting and tax returns, to include the new tax strategies that your team provided to us, we are now finally able to have more cash flow to reinvest in our business. Mr. Grinner and your team transparent communication made it easy to submit documents, do messaging, and take advantage of the tax deductions so my business wouldn’t owe taxes like we did last year. You definitely have a customer for life! Looking forward to seeing what next year brings! Thanks for saving our business money.”

- Kristin & Bill .

“As a small business, sometimes we weren’t sure if we were able to have an accounting firm provide us advice on how we can save money. Most companies wanted businesses to have a certain amount of revenue before taking us seriously. We are so fortunate to have found Wilder & Associates LLC! It was simple, told them our goals for the business and they took it from there. Long story short, we were able to save $15,984 in taxes this year without changing one single thing in our business. The tax strategies that they provided us was so detailed, it was easy to implement; they went above and beyond! We will most definitely refer you to other business partners. Thank you so much James!”

- Craig

“James was an impeccable advisor and tax preparer over the last two years. He has given us honest facts and he as very informative during our time of working with him. He made himself available at all times when we had questions and never made us feel alone. I would advise anyone with their personal tax, or if you have a new or small business to contact James and allow him to assist you. He finds errors if those tax places have made some. He knows it all!! We would not have anyone else do our taxes moving forward. Thanks James. See you next year!!!”
