Accountants and Advisors

Patrick + Co. has earned a reputation for being the go-to choice of many strategic investors and seasoned developers in the high-growth real estate market.

Accountants and Advisors

Patrick + Co. is the preferred choice of clients seeking the best of both worlds: The expertise of a high-end strategic advisor, and the personalized client service of a boutique accounting firm.

“Having a depth of knowledge of a statute and regulations, and an understanding of tax policy and congressional intent, are hallmarks of excellence in taxation. Knowing how to treat people well and provide them with practical counsel, are hallmarks of excellent client service. We believe in striving for excellence in both.”

– Mark Patrick
