CPA and accounting firm in Lakewood, Colorado

Serving the west metro

Lakewood sits between downtown Denver and the foothills, and its business community reflects that position. Along the Union Boulevard and Sixth Avenue corridor, near the Denver Federal Center, you find professional and medical offices, consulting firms and other service businesses. Around Belmar and the city’s commercial corridors, retailers, restaurants and personal service businesses serve the neighborhoods that stretch from Wheat Ridge to Morrison.

Our Lakewood office works with all of them. For professional practices, the questions are often about structure and owner pay, such as whether an S corporation election makes sense and what a reasonable salary looks like. For retailers and restaurants, the work centers on clean monthly books, sales tax filings and payroll. For organizations that receive government grants, it can include government grant accounting and the cost tracking those agreements require.

Who we work with in Lakewood

The Lakewood team serves owner-run businesses across many industries, including professional practices, retailers, restaurants, construction and trades and service businesses. Many clients are also individuals and families who want a CPA to handle their returns, plan for retirement or respond to a tax notice. Because business and personal taxes are closely connected for owners, we plan them together. For example, an owner’s salary, retirement contributions and the timing of a large equipment purchase all affect the same personal return, so it helps when one team sees the whole picture before year-end rather than after it.

When a client needs something more specialized, such as an assurance engagement for a lender, a business sale or help with a complex IRS matter, colleagues from our other five offices join the work. You keep the same local relationship and the same records, without having to start over with a new firm.

Getting started

Most clients begin with an introductory call with our client services team. That conversation covers what you need, the scope of the work and whether we are a good fit. Advice begins once an engagement is in place, and if we are not the right match for what you need, we will say so. From there, you can meet the Lakewood team in person, by video or by phone, and share documents securely through our client portal whenever it suits you.
