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

About Patrick + Co.

The principals at Patrick + Co., Mark Patrick and Steve Kacerski, are committed to offering clients a different kind of CPA firm. Mark and Steve blend the strategic thinking and deep technical expertise clients associate with larger firms, with the relationship-driven culture of boutique firms.

We’re able to achieve this by being passionate about knowing the tax code, while knowing everything we do is in service of achieving the bigger picture and valuing the relationships we create with our clients, and not just the transactions we structure on their behalf.
