I'm the founder of a small consulting business and I recently switched from another accounting firm to work with Karen... and the difference has been night and day. Not only is the service an incredible value for what I pay, Karen and her team are knowledgeable, proactive, and professional. She helped me identify numerous opportunities for tax savings and it's been amazing to have a trusted finance partner so I can rest easy knowing my accounting and bookkeeping are in good hands.

I’ve been working with Karen and her team for my small business for 2 years, and their expertise has been invaluable. They are thorough, reliable, and always take the time to explain complex financial topics in a way that makes sense. They simplify the financial topics, I would rather not think about, and free up my time, so I can work on my business. Highly recommend for any small business owner looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy accountant.

I have my own bookkeeping service and have worked with many CPA's and tax preparers. Karen by far is the best! She has saved our mutual clients thousands of dollars in taxes! She works hard to research and figure out the best way to bring that tax amount down. She is very attentive to the needs of the clients and responds quickly to questions posed to her. This is a problem I have heard frequently with other CPA's, they don't respond to emails or phone calls. This has never been a problem with Karen. She always responds. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a good tax advisor for their business or personal taxes. Susan

Karen and her team are exceptional. For several years, Karen and her team at Astute have been my primary resources for multiple businesses and personal matters related to tax, CPA, fractional CFO, and advisory. Karen is tremendously knowledgeable, responsive, courteous, trustworthy, and customer-focused. I highly recommend engaging with Karen and her team if you seek experienced, high-value, superior-quality professionals to handle tax and advisory affairs for business and personal.

We have been working with Karen since July 2021 on both personal and business accounting and tax needs. We sought her out as support for various financial strategies. Her understanding and guidance of our business needs has been invaluable, especially as we transition our business along its growth trajectory. Her embrace of technology, astute regulatory comprehension, and subsequent strategy has been amazing. I can’t recommend her enough!
