What Our Clients Are Saying

As a new small business owner with little accounting experience, it was important to me to find a knowledgeable, patient resource. Nick and Brad have been essential in helping me get my books set up, tax planning and filing, and generally helping me plan for the future of my business. I appreciate their long-term view of our relationship, and know they will be an excellent resource as our business grows.

Thank you to Dale and his professional staff, who worked on my taxes for 2019. Dale's knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. He took time to explain my tax situation and quickly resolve the issues I was having. Thank you Dale. Going forward they will always be my tax preparers!!

Jon R.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been a client of Hammernik & Associates for YEARS, and couldn't imagine being a client of another firm. Everyone has always been so kind, friendly, professional and helpful throughout the years. I've been extremely lucky to have met Dale Hammernik before there was even a Hammernik & Associates, and have remained a loyal client since then. I consider him a friend and an excellent CPA, and look forward to have him be my "tax man" for years to come. A special thank you and appreciation to Lori Beck, who has also been an integral part of the company by being the first contact when you call or come in. She's the Best!

Geri G.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had been using a much larger firm for my law office accounting needs for many years. I made a change to work with Nick Hammernick two years ago, and I am so very glad I did. I have found Nick to be fast, thorough and accommodating--and the accounting costs to my business have gone way down. Nick even discovered that my wife and I were being taxed on non- taxable sums paid for in home care for our special needs adult child. He refiled several years of taxes and we realized substantial tax refunds in each of the years where we could file. Nick totally deserves all 5 stars!

Gregg B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dale and his staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable. My taxes are ALWAYS finalized quickly and returned back easily explained. They’re always available for questions whether it’s on the phone or in person. The hours of operation make it easy for a client who works full time. They ALWAYS go above and beyond for their clients! I highly recommend their service! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Hammernik & Associates!

Karrie R.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hammernik & Associates provided trustworthy expertise at a time when I needed to reorganize my finances and file my taxes. Nick helped me get a substantial tax refund for two years of state and federal taxes that my former overpriced accountant missed. Nick was pleasant to work with and patient when answering my questions.

FAQs

Here's some common questions about small business accounting:

  • What are your business hours?

    Here at Hammernik, we operate from 8:30am - 5:00pm Monday through Friday.


  • Do I still need an accountant if I use Quickbooks or other software?

    These software tools do a great job managing your day-to-day bookkeeping these days. There's no doubt about it. However, where they fall short is understanding state specific (or even county specific) tax codes and how to leverage them for your business. And it never hurts to have a professional be the final set of eyes viewing your business before sending in taxes to the IRS. It provides one more layer of protection for you from Uncle Sam.

  • What is the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper?

    A bookkeeper is a person who help track and manage the daily expenses for the business. They're tracking receipts, invoices, payments made and received, etc. Quite literally, they manage the flow of money in and out of the business.


    An accountant is a person who takes the information from the bookeeper to create an actionable plan for the business to grow. Accountants are usually the ones filing the official reports for the business which include financial statements, tax records, etc. Accountants are also usually certified which Hammernik is.

  • Can you run a business without an accountant?

    Yes, many small businesses start out without the help of a small business accountant or bookkeeper. It's often a place most people begin and it is perfectly legal here in the USA.


    Where most young businesses leverage accountants like Hammernik is for the tax services. And as the business grows, the owner often realizes the value that a dedicated accounting team can provide. That's where Hammernik truly shines because we can provide a one-stop shop for growing businesses that need bookeeping, accounting and tax services all together.
