It's the last song of the night. Kate and Max, surrounded by family and friends, are dancing their hearts out to "Beginnings". The band passes out 50 percussion instruments to the guests.

I needed some information about filing taxes for an LLC. I had questions and concerns. My call was answered so professionally, politely, and respectfully. Mike then proceeded to answer all my questions clearly in a language I can understand. I could not ask for anything more. When I am ready to go in business, I know the business CPA company I will be reaching out to.

Michelle Hecker is our competent and always reliable go-to CPA. All our visits, both in person and online are fulfilling. Michelle is knowledgeable; she conveys information clearly, and she is a pure delight to work with. We are consistently relieved when we go over numbers with her and know she will follow through by taking the best care of us.
Stitely and Karstetter continually keeps us abreast of all industry changes. We cannot imagine working with any other Accounting Firm or CPA.

Nothing but great things to say about Michael T. Westwick, CPA. My wife and I both run our own business, have w-2 jobs, plus my out of state income. Michael is always responsive during the year about my tax questions and goes over every detail come tax time to assure us the best return. I was sure we’d owe for 2019 and instead we are getting a satisfactory refund from state and fed. Highly recommended.

I reached out to a real estate colleague for a recommendation on a good accountant to help get my business life together. She recommended Michael Westwick with Stitely & Karstetter and boy was it one of the best decisions I have made for my business!
Michael is thoughtful with answers and has a real teaching perspective when explaining options. He is super quick to respond and the tool/system/dashboard/portal they use is so user-friendly.
All of his advice and expertise has paid off and I am seeing the benefits coming to fruition!

When we moved to Virginia last year, we were recommended to contact Michelle Hecker of Stitely and Karstetter. This was the best advice given to us. We met initially to discuss our finances and a tax planning meeting for our income tax returns. Ms Hecker has walked us through and filed all our tax papers and returns.
Then a big bonus to us was their Shredding event held last week. We could safely shred our papers and old financial papers right at the Stitely and Karstetter facility. Plus they offered us a great lunch, too.

I’ve always prided myself in using Turbo Tax to do my taxes for my business and personal tax returns. As my small business has grown, I thought I should consult a CPA. Michael Westwick was recommended by a friend, so I had a conversation with him late last year about my taxes. He recommended I switch my business to an LLC and make a late election to file as an S-Corp for 2018. We did and we were accepted in early 2019 after the IRS re-opened from the shutdown. This move saved me about $15,000+ in self employment taxes for 2018.

We had switched this year from a CPA we had been using for a few years to Stitely & Karstetter for both our business and personal needs and we couldn't have made a better decision. Frank is our lead contact and the process for working with him and reviewing our taxes could not be easier. Everything is done through an online portal and Frank doesn't leave out any details. Not only have we saved money but we feel like Stitely & Karstetter really cares about us. If you're unhappy with your current tax person, make the switch. Frank will make it easy and well worth your while!

Our CPA here, Frank, has done my personal and company taxes the past 2 years. They have NOT been easy financials, but Frank handled them with ease. There have been no issues whatsoever and he's saved us from paying loads of unnecessary taxes. His knowledge is fantastic and is still helping us with various highly specific needs throughout 2017.
