The most important thing a business owner can ask from their business advisors is to have trust in them. There is no one that I deal with that I have more trust in than the folks at Whalen CPAs.

Richard, Lisa, Patrick, Bruce and the team of associates at Whalen CPAs are truly exceptional. Genuine; customer-focused; and readily available to respond to any question, issue and request related to our tax and accounting needs — regardless of who in our business asks it. I consider the Whalen team an extension of our business — critical to its operation; and vested in its success.
