I’ve worked with CMP for several years now, and I’ve really appreciated their expertise and efficiency. When auditing, they work around my schedule, and do all they can to maintain continuity of personnel on our audit. This saves me time and energy, which is invaluable to me.

CMP has been our accounting firm for nearly 10 years. Quite simply they are the best. They are extremely competent in all aspects of accounting and are truly a full service firm. You need a certain level of trust with the people you count on to take care of business and personal finances, and I have never doubted their integrity or honesty. It is very gratifying to be able to call CMP and know that even if your personal accountant is unavailable, there is someone just as knowledgeable to help with any issue that may arise. I highly recommend this accounting firm.

CMP was recommended to me by a friend. I am located in California and all of my interactions have been via email and telephone calls and they have exceeded my expectations. I own my own business and they have answered questions, solved book keeping problems, and guided me as I have struggled with the challenges of learning how to run a business. I rely on their tax advice and appreciate their efforts to limit my tax liability within the bounds of the law.

My girls and I appreciate our office visit which left both acknowledging it was exciting to meet their first CPA. You were dazzling. Afterward, we enjoyed your wonderful apple bread which reviewing how enjoyable it was to have met you. Our visit had you destroying the generalized tales of accountants and CPA’s being dull, stoic, and decisive… not at all exuberant unless they had a column of digits before them. Thanks for the wonderful Christmas gift of apple bread. While licking the crumbs from their fingers, my girls declared I was in the hands of a savy, handsome CPA who knew my file like the back of his hand. Again, recognize I loved your graciousness to my family.

The top of my list is Tara Williams. She is extraordinary to say the least. Smart – kind – and so accommodating.. She should be acknowledged as one of your very top employees and be treated the same.

I recently had Cody Webb help me with the conversion to Quickbooks online. It has made a huge difference in reducing amount of time I spend on simple accounting issues and away from growing my business and getting work done for my clients. It is the same with other financial areas of my practice, when I take the time to consult with the staff at CMP, I always come away with great ideas and a new energy.

Troy Martin, at CMP has been our CPA since 1993. We have numerous entities that require sophisticated analysis for tax planning, and return preparation. Troy Martin has saved us over a $100k, by proper application of the tax code to our situation. It amazes me that he remembers the details for each entity and family member. Troy goes beyond tax preparation and has recommended strategic strategy that has proved insightful and spot on. I have been pleased with the firms prompt response to our needs. We were represent by a large nation CPA firm, however I switched to CMP because they met our needs better and at less costs. We have been very pleased with their professionalism, knowledge, effectiveness, ethics, and personal concern.

We engaged CMP to audit the company’s Financial Statements. CMP were extremely diligent and went the extra mile to understand the complexities and nuances of our business. The Audit was completed in record time and was instrumental in the company successfully closing on its 7.5 million ABL working capital facility.”

I have a growing business and Braxton was super awesome and helpful. Explained everything very well and helped me understand (and save some money!) highly recommend
Braxton is a fantastic tax strategist. He's very knowledgeable and has the ability to explain complex concepts in easy to understand ways
Braxton did a really job with my taxes last year. I was really happy with my returns.
Braxton answered all my questions and helped walk me through the best strategies and practices to maximize savings for my small side business. Very knowledgeable and patient, highly recommend, thanks again!
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.
After a negative experience with one of the largest firms in SLC, CMP was recommended. What a refreshing change! The CMP team and our CPA there are responsive, professional, gracious, and highly capable. Thank you @JohnKane and the CMP Team.
Braxton is the best CPA ever. We could not have asked for someone better. He is insightful, intuitive, prompt, easy to work with, of course extremely knowledgeable, amicable and overall a great partner on this otherwise complex and often intimidating subject. We cannot recommend him enough to anyone considering a change / new CPA and tax advisor
We’ve 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. He’s proactive, responsive, and remarkably thorough, saving us time, reducing stress, and helping us make confident financial decisions. We’re grateful for his partnership and highly recommend him and CMP.
CMP is professional, knowledge, and efficient. They are also kind, helpful and easy to work with. I love that they are local and no can drop by and take care of my business if I want.
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.
Been a great group to work with and helped me with some complications from my former accountant!
I’ve been working with Braxton for the past year for both tax preparation and tax guidance, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. His depth of knowledge and meticulous attention to detail have made a real difference! He takes the time to explain everything clearly, offers strategic insights, and ensures nothing gets overlooked. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable accountant who genuinely cares about getting things right.
Taylor P. Is a Godsend. She works with us on our goals, future plans and has gone above and beyond for us in our accounting needs. We can’t thank her enough for the work she does for us, the insight she has and the knowledge she brings to our tax needs. We have W2s multiple 1099s and are real estate investors. She wrangles it all in and has supported us through it all. CMP is cost effective and they run their business soundly. Always an easy experience when I work with the team. But Taylor is the golden girl, she just is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend this team
I had a great experience with them. The receptionist, I regret I don’t remember her name, knew exactly who to send me to, and the CPA, Dustin, was externally helpful even though I wasn’t a paying customer he pointed me in the right direction and was very friendly. I will for sure be using them in the future.
John Kane is great to work with for both our businesses and personal accounts. He listens well and is professional and thorough.
Herschel is always attentive, responsive, and up to date. He has gained our trust. He listens patiently and helps with understanding and effectively finding solutions.
Courteous, professional, competent, and friendly. Nice to do business with. I recommend them.
They have been taking care of my business and personal taxes for years. They do an excellent job of making sure I am taking all the deductions available to my business and my personal finances.
CMP has been helping me with my business and personal accounting needs for years. I can’t say enough good things about their knowledge and customer service. They are great!!!
Great follow up. Also they were very thorough and professional. They made sure that I could get every tax break possible.
Rich Poulsen is a wizard with numbers. He is awesome.
Cody and his team are the best they file my business and personal taxes highly recommend them for being professional and caring
Top notch company for all your business tax needs. 5 years using Jared and we've always felt like we were getting the best advice, guidance, and tax reduction results available to us. Tens of thousands saved through expert tax knowledge!
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!
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.
Very knowledgeable and very professional. The best I've ever worked with and I have worked with the best in So. California
Personal taxes, always done quickly and always very informative on necessary and critical information.
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.
Everyone at CMP is always friendly, helpful, and professional. Thanks to all.
Elise and her team are top notch. Highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs a CPA.
Elise is helping my family with personal tax and estate tax issues. She has been terrific. She put all our concerns to rest. She put to together a plan that met all the tax codes and seemed fair to us. Very professional and knowledgeable. She consulted with experts in the fields if there were any concerns. Explained everything efficiently with charts and precision. Have used CMP for almost 10 years know and will continue to do so because of Elsie and her team. Thank you!
Kirk Eck does an amazing job.
I've been working with CMP (specifically with Braxton) for years now and have had a great experience. They've more than paid for their services by saving my time, stress, and money. Highly recommend.
I just moved states and I have been so stressed trying to get my business up and running again with all the documents that need to be filed and filled out. My brother, who is also a business owner, recommended Zach. I was there for an hour and I feel like I learned so much about my business and taxes than I ever have before. I left feeling so relieved. Zach is great at communicating and very good at making things make sense. We got so much done in an hour, he was very efficient! I highly recommend! Thank you so much!
We've used CMP for many years and have been very satisfied. Great service.
Exceptionally helpful. I'm working on a SaaS startup and have no experience with business formation tax considerations. Quinn Johnson spent 30 minutes chatting with me and helping me get a handle on what my partner and I need and do not need. His authenticity and straightforward communication was incredibly appreciated.
My experience with CMP has been exceptional. Braxton, CPA and supporting staff have provided individualized and personal care to my business needs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for professionals that take pride in helping others with their tax and accounting needs.
Used them for years. Very professional and accurate. Enjoy working with them.
(1) Very satisfied with the assistance provided for my 2023 tax returns. (2): RE 2022 returns. Disappointed that we weren't able to resolve the issues with the Arizona Department of Revenue's inaccurate additional charges to my tax 2022 returns.
Always do a great job!
Shane Roberts was very helpful in completing our personal Income taxes with our interests in mind.
