About Us
About Colwell & Pierce
We believe your CPA should do more than prepare tax returns.
At Colwell & Pierce, we believe accounting isn’t just about keeping score—it’s about helping business owners make better decisions.
Our goal is simple:
Give you clear financial information, proactive advice, and a trusted team that’s invested in your success all year long.
Whether you’re just getting started or managing a growing company, we’re here to help you understand your numbers, reduce stress, and build a stronger business.
Every conversation, every report, and every recommendation is focused on one thing:
Helping you move forward with confidence.
What Makes Us Different
We Don’t Disappear After Tax Season
Many firms only hear from their clients once a year.
We work with our clients throughout the year—reviewing financials, answering questions, identifying opportunities, and helping them make smarter business decisions before problems become expensive.
We Believe Accounting Should Actually Make Sense
Financial reports shouldn’t require a CPA to translate them.
We explain your numbers in plain English so you understand what’s happening in your business and what actions to take next.
Our goal isn’t just accurate financials—it’s helping you use them.
We Build Relationships, Not Transactions
Our clients aren’t just another tax return or bookkeeping file.
We take time to understand your business, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing so we can provide advice that’s actually useful—not generic.
Many of our clients think of us as part of their team.
Technology That Makes Life Easier
Running a business is hard enough.
That’s why we use modern technology, secure client portals, electronic signatures, cloud accounting, and streamlined processes that save you time and eliminate unnecessary paperwork.
Why We Started This Firm
Every business owner starts with a dream.
Then come the payroll deadlines, bookkeeping, taxes, cash flow concerns, and endless paperwork.
Before long, you’re spending more time working on the books than on the business.
That’s where we come in.
We started Colwell & Pierce because we believe business owners deserve more than someone who prepares tax returns once a year.
They deserve a trusted advisor who helps them understand their numbers, make confident decisions, and build the business they’ve worked so hard to create.
When our clients succeed, we succeed.
That’s why everything we do is centered around one purpose:
Helping businesses grow while giving owners more confidence and peace of mind.
Let Us Help:
Dear Friend,
I have a feeling I know why you’re reading this right now.
You need more time in your day. Running a business is extremely demanding and there just isn’t enough time in the day to keep all the plates from spinning out of control. What you need most right now is more proactive help. You need the benefit of business advising to straighten up your business finances and tax strategy. As soon as possible. In fact, yesterday would have been ideal to get our business advising expertise. Am I close?
We get it. We’ve worked with plenty of businesses who have to cobble together 9 different software programs to keep everything straight, or who just wash their hands of it all and put everything on the credit card … and then try to clean up every year after the fact. And they know that this is no way to properly monitor profit margins, cash controls, account management, tax strategy, and all of the myriad components of an effective financial system for a business. They need business advising support.
Perhaps this is your story too. Or perhaps you’ve reached a stage of development in your business that you want to pass the baton of accounting to another expert business advising team so your team can focus on what they do best: making sales and taking care of customers.
Or are you just starting your business and want to begin on the right foot?
Whatever the reason, we want you to know that our business advising team has been diligently and effectively taking care of the accounting needs of countless organizations in a wide variety of industries—discreetly and expertly handling the ongoing financial management of tax burdens, payroll, bookkeeping, and other comprehensive accounting services while providing expertise in business planning, coaching, and strategic consulting that many businesses need.
Because here’s a certain truth as it relates to taxes and your business: The State and Federal Government would love to have more of your business’s hard-earned money in their accounts. And yes, even though it’s painful, none of us begrudge paying our legal and fair share of taxes. But the problem is that regular business owners, like you, are missing out on legal and safe deductions to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in unclaimed refunds every year.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to hand more dollars over to the government than they require just because you don’t know their rules as well as they do. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety over the state of your books, feeling guilty about the time you should be devoting to keeping your business profitable.
In fact, to help you find answers to your questions, I’ve compiled some resources in the last couple of years for business people like you in response to the specific tax and accounting questions I’ve received from my clients.
