Who We Are
Neilley & Co. CPA is a personal and professional accounting practice that specializes in helping you and your business succeed. You deal directly with the Founder and President, Grant Neilley, CPA. Grant has kept the practice small on purpose so he can be personally involved in the individual and business tax planning, and other consulting needs of his clients.
What We Believe
Before Neilley & Co. can give you good advice about the financial reporting and tax planning needs of your company, we will be asking lots of questions. These are the questions you know the answers to, but perhaps haven’t thought of in a while. Grant works hard to understand exactly what your situation requires, and recommends only those services you really need.
Philosophy
Although we provide traditional accounting and tax services, we are really in the business of consulting with our clients to help them solve problems. We strive to provide the highest quality services in the most personable manner. This includes returning phone calls promptly, completing work in a timely fashion and offering friendly people for personalized attention and customized service.
We try to meet your needs in the most practical and cost effective manner. If our strengths, experience or personalities are not a good fit, we will bring in other reliable parties to help meet the need, or refer you to another reputable firm.
Our fees are fair, but not the lowest — you get what you pay for. If you’re shopping for the best price to prepare a tax return or financial statement, you will not end up building a relationship with an advisor who can really serve you well. We are here year-round to serve you and answer your questions.
All client information is treated with the utmost confidentiality. All documents, whether physical or electronic, are secured to protect your privacy.
We give back to the environment by sponsoring the planting of trees to more than replace the paper we consume in our firm every year, recycling waste paper, and reducing waste by keeping records electronically rather than on paper whenever possible.
We give back to the community by contributing at least 10% of firm profits and owner’s salary to charity, and encouraging our team to be actively involved in community organizations of their choice.
