CMP has been such a gem for accounting and tax services. Matt and his team were very knowledgeable in getting caught up with bookkeeping, taxes, and doing so in an efficient and effective manner. It's such a relief to have someone in the industry who is customer oriented and reliable. Highly recommend.

We have had a great experience with Cook Martin Poulsen for both personal and business taxes.
Our accountant is Josh Liechty and he makes time anytime we need to meet with him. He is also great at answering our questions through email and text and does so promptly.
An accountant is a definite need for a self-employed business owner and we would whole-heartedly recommend CMP. Taxes, payroll, and deadlines are stressful enough and they help take away some of that stress.

Exceptionally helpful. I'm working on a SaaS startup and have no experience with business formation tax considerations. Quinn Johnson spent 30 minutes chatting with me and helping me get a handle on what my partner and I need and do not need. His authenticity and straightforward communication was incredibly appreciated.

CMP has a great team and we have really enjoyed having them help us with taxes and tax planning. They are our third accounting firm and we never plan on leaving. They are knowlegeable and proactive in helping our business. Shout out to Matt Jensen and his team. I recommend him to anyone looking for accounting services.

I can't speak highly enough of the work that Shane Roberts did on our taxes. I thought we had a fairly simple tax return, but Shane was aware of a bunch of tax benefits that were missed by our previous CPA. He also works closely with our Financial Planner for additional benefits. These facts and how convenient it is to work with Shane from our home in Idaho makes the decision to work with CMP the best thing we have done in years. We couldn't be happier.
