As a first time business owner Jim and Susan have been tremendously helpful from filing my taxes to guiding me and providing me information on starting an LLC. They even went above and beyond and offered to assist me with setting up electronic filing and other tax enrollments that's needed when starting a business. I don't have time to read a book or teach myself; Like Jim says "stick to what you know best" and as a business owner I can concentrate on building my business knowing that if I have a documents or questions pertaining to taxes or accounting side I can pick up the phone or email Hemphill Accounting Service. I highly recommend their services.

Just got home from a free 75 minute consult with Jim. My wife and I have a relatively simple two person S Corp under which we do business. Jim not only patiently and simply explained every step of the process and answered each of my questions, but we also had a great conversation throughout. Very excited to have a competent friendly accountant. Thanks Jim!
