Our Mission
At Barkanic & Ames, we believe in helping our clients to be as financially successful as possible.  Whether it pertains to their personal tax situation or to their business and its financial requirements, we pride ourselves on going “above and beyond”. This applies to how seriously we take our work, and it also applies to the broad portfolio of services we offer. Whether we are educating our clients, providing information to help them make decisions, or preparing reports and analyses that enable them to save money or obtain funding, we simply try to do more than any other firm.

Our Vision
We deal with small businesses every day, and we understand the issues they face.  We have hundreds of small companies as clients.  Our vision is to provide the full suite of tax-related accounting services as well as additional financial services that no other CPA firm delivers.  These services are highly focused and effective because they always derive from a basis of understanding, since we know our clients already and they know us.  This is why we can say without hesitation that our clients view us as partners. 

A Note on Our Website
As you browse through our Website, you will see that not only have we highlighted background information on our firm and the services we provide, but we have also included useful resources such as informative articles (in our Newsletter section) and interactive financial calculators (in our Financial Tools section). In addition, we have taken the time to gather many links to external Websites that we felt would be of interest to our clients and visitors (in our Internet Links section).
