I’ve been using Curtis Villar since 2017 for my families personal taxes, and now my corporate taxes as well the past two years. I’ve always found each team member to be knowledgeable, professional, and up to date with any changes to tax laws. The time and money they save our business is well worth the expense of using professional accounting services.

I have been a completely satisfied client of Curtis-Villar for over 25 years.  Over this period, our involvement has extended across two business relationships as well as continuous personal service for my extended family. I cannot imagine any better or more helpful service than what I've received from everyone I've worked with at the company.  Friends, relatives, and business associates have all received referral recommendations and enthusiastic encouragement to become clients.  In my view, there can be no finer endorsement.

Curtis Villar has been our accounting firm for both our personal and business needs since 2010. They've always been there when we needed them to provide guidance in our financial decisions both short-term and long-term. They're easy to deal with, know what they are talking about and tell us what we need to know and not just what we want to hear. THAT is worth more than I can put in a Google Review. Their expertise is helping our business get where we want it to go. Highly recommended.
