About
I started Hartwell & Rowe CPA because I wanted to give clients the attention that big firms rarely have time for. Every client works with me directly, and every file gets my full review.
My approach is simple: listen first, explain clearly, and keep things organized so you can get on with running your life or your business.
Credentials and licenses shown here would be added by the firm.
Kind words
“Everything finally lives in one place. I send documents, I get a clear answer back, and I stopped dreading tax season.”
“Patient with my questions and quick with answers. My books went from a pile of receipts to a monthly report I actually read.”
“Clear pricing, no surprises, and a person who picks up the phone. That is all I wanted from my accountant.”
Questions
How do I send you my documents?
Through the secure upload on this page, or by phone if you prefer. This panel is a sample and shows how the real portal would be set up for your firm.
Do you work with clients outside the city?
Yes. Most of the work is done remotely, with meetings by phone, video or in person when it helps.
How much will it cost?
Packages on this page show sample pricing. After a short free consultation you receive a fixed quote in writing before any work begins.
Can you take over from my previous accountant?
Yes. We request prior records with your permission and set up a clean starting point.
What if I get a notice or have a question during the year?
Get in touch any time. Reach out and we will review it with you and explain the options before anything is sent.
Free consultation
Thirty minutes, no cost, no pressure. Call Eleanor Hartwell, CPA or send your documents ahead of time.
