PLW CPA PLLC

We established PLW CPA PLLC in 2011 after working for many years in public accounting and private industry.  Our goal was to create a public accounting firm that reflects our business and personal values and our passion for helping individuals and small businesses grow and prosper. Our mission as a firm is to cultivate long term relationships with our clients and provide professional services in a friendly and timely manner and at a fair price.  We want to be considered a trusted advisor that our clients can call with confidence.  As entrepreneurs, small business owners and parents, we face many of the same challenges that greet our clients on a daily basis.  We have also worked with countless small businesses of all types during our careers. This background puts us in a unique position to help our small business clients while understanding the challenges that they face owning a small business. We also understand the need for financial and retirement planning and business succession planning. Our individual tax clients benefit from our tax knowledge and expertise cultivated over 20+ years preparing tax returns for individuals.  We have seen a lot along the way that helps us understand and apply current tax law to the benefit of our clients as well as staying abreast of the ever changing tax code.
