CMP helped our new non-profit attain non profit status and does a great job with our nonprofit tax work. Makes it easy for us to focus on our mission, not or tax reporting.

Ive been in business for 8 years and have went through more then a few accountants. Was referred to Herschel by another business owner. By far the best firm I have used.

Weve had an outstanding experience working with John Kane at CMP. John has expertly managed taxes for several of our business entities as well as our personal returns, always anticipating issues before they arise. Hes proactive, responsive, and remarkably thorough, saving us time, reducing stress, and helping us make confident financial decisions. Were grateful for his partnership and highly recommend him and CMP.

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.

I've been using CMP for years. Jared Ripplinger is exactly who I needed. I've referred multiple people to them and they too love working with this CMP! From small things to huge they are undoubtedly the best in the industry for tax services and tax advice!

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.

Just started a construction business and I've had a lot of questions about taxes and bookkeeping. The guys at CMP have answered all my questions and mentored me every step. I can spend all my time building and finding jobs and don't waste time doing books or payroll. Any questions i just text or call my guy at CMP and he gets me answers.

Cody Webb has been our accountant for several years. We have had nothing but fantastic experiences each time we meet with him. He helps us with tax planning so we can be prepared for year end and completes our business and personal taxes each year. He makes it an easy process and genuinely cares about our success! 5 stars for sure!!
