Why Hire Us?
Your business is our passion.

We started GRAM Tax & Accounting because we believe that small businesses deserve a better deal. More small businesses will thrive if they have the right advice, support and service when it comes down to dollars and cents. That’s where we come in.
GET YOUR TIME BACK
If you are doing your own bookkeeping and accounting, what could you be doing instead? Our goal is to give you the time to focus on the things that are impactful to your business or personal life.
PEACE OF MIND
As a business owner, the last things you need to be worried about are filings and remittances. We’ve got your back.
ALWAYS READY
Whether you are going for a round of financing or applying for a loan, you need your financials ready. We are always flexible, and ensure you get what you need in a pinch.
FIXED PRICING
We use fixed pricing so you can pick up the phone or schedule a call with us without having to worry about hourly billing. You will never get a bill you didn’t see coming. We’re accountants you’ll want to talk to.
WE’RE TECH-SAVVY PROBLEM SOLVERS
Our customers look to us for ideas and solutions when it comes to their day-to-day operations. Inventory, cash flow, you name the challenge and we’ll help you conquer it.
BETTER BUSINESS DECISIONS
We provide you excellent, up-to-date reports about your business to help you make effective decisions. We don’t just give you data, you’ll receive customized reports, analysis and friendly expert advice from your CPA.
