What our clients have to say

We love working with Genaro at Hjortness CPA. He’s been doing our taxes for a few years and has been very helpful. We are small business owners and one of us is from another country, so it’s not easy to do ourselves. We always have great meetings and he’s very responsive and have great advice.

We have come to count on Eric and staff for good, sound business and personal advice regarding accounting matters, always handled with the utmost discretion and respect.

What has always been especially beneficial to us is that Hjortness & Associates has not been just an accounting firm, but also our controller, CFO and CEO.

We have had the pleasure of doing business with Hjortness & Associates for over 10 years. We have personally known the Hjortness family for over 20 years. They are diligent, ethical, and extremely detail oriented. Eric has also served us in a consulting role on various busi:ness opportunities that we have encountered. We would highly recommend their accounting and payroll services.
