Our company transferred service to CSI when we needed a more responsive and knowledgeable accounting team to help us move into the next phase of business development. The staff assigned to us from CSI have been extremely responsive, clear and reassuring in the transition process.
We appreciated the straight-forward approach that Burt Monroe, our assigned CPA, took in explaining things to us and helping us make vital decisions. Our assigned bookkeeper, Brittny Cantele, has also been highly knowledgeable and available to our staff as things come up day to day.

Staff is extremely personable and willing to help and answer any questions about freelancing and running a small business, even not as an official client. Hoping I'll be able to work with them in the future.

I have had the good fortune to work with Kris Foster of CSI and I couldn't be more happy with her knowledge and professionalism. Any time I have a question, I send her and email and she responds right away. Switching payroll companies hasn't been the nightmare I expected it to be. I'm so glad that I switched to CSI.

I have been with CSI for 6 months after running through 3 different accounting/bookkeeper companies over the last 3 years. With CSI, I have finally found a firm that does what they say they are going to do! Namely: timely communication, proactive addressing of issues and providing clean financials every month well within the agreed upon deadlines. Would highly recommend them!

My husband and I have used CSI for both our business and personal accounting needs for a few years now, and our 'A Team' - Burt, Emma and Wyatt provide excellent support. They are professional, very knowledgeable, thorough and always fast to respond. Knowing we are in such great hands allows us to focus on growing our business with confidence. Thank you CSI!

My wife and I own a small construction company. Payroll was neither of our strong suites. So getting in contact with Hunter made our lives exponentially easier. And great guy too! I've already recommended him to another friend with a small business.

Hunter is a smart and driven individual, who has your and/or your businesses needs in the front of his mind. He really believes in the importance of building relationships while working with his clients. You can also tell he enjoys his job. Great company and great employees! If you’re thinking about giving them a shot, do it!! You won’t regret it.

CSI Accounting and Payroll has been a sanity saver for me. They have come through on every detail and I could not be happier. Especially during the COVID-19, they have been sending me regular notices, that are important to me specifically and my business. I'm incredibly happy, and would highly recommend them.

You would be well served to use CSI. They really know auto repair and from what I understand a few other industries.

Transferring my payroll needs to CSI was one of the best decisions I have made for my business. If I have a question, I can always get a live person on the phone. They are flexible and I get quality year-end payroll reports in a timely manner.

I couldn't recommend them more highly. They just rock!

When I was first starting my business I wanted to make sure I got the accounting right. CSI has helped me get and stay organized, and answered so many questions I've had about the best way to operate a small business. They also saved me several thousand dollars in 2018 by helping me be proactive in my tax planning.

CSI is doing a fantastic job with all our accounting needs.
I like being able to email them with questions about our
payroll or taxes and receiving an answer in very short
period of time. We used to use ADP and the call wait time
was very long, that's way we switched to CSI.
