Steve and his professionals have been doing my taxes for several years. The prices are far, the work is excellent, and I not only have never had any issues, but they helped fix some old issues and have made a number of excellent suggestions that I would have never thought of on my own. I have referred a number of my friends and family, an they share the same sentiment. Thanks for all your hard work!

We have been personal and business customers of Furrer & Associates for over 10 years and I highly recommend their firm. The staff is friendly, easy to work with and knowledgeable in all areas of accounting and book keeping. We sold our prior business to start a new business and Furrer and Associates were there to guide us through this change making our transition seamless. We hope to open additional locations and will count on Furrer & Associates for their continued guidance and support.

I have worked with Steve Furrer since 2004 and developed a very close working relationship. Steve's organization has been awesome to work with and always available when needed. I especially appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail which has help our organization raise venture capital and ultimately supported the sale of our company. I highly recommend Furrer for companies looking for a firm that can handle the needs of emerging companies from basic accounting through Tax planning and financial planning.
