I have not even secured services with CE Thorn yet and am already very impressed the professionalism and attentiveness I received during my initial phone call!

1612374920

I called this office to find out a price estimate for tax preparation and was told this was only for businesses that use this company. This is not for individual tax preparation. It was nice that they referred me to a CPA, but they referred me to a Cpa by the name of Gwen who said she is not taking individual tax preparations at this time and that her prices started at 500.00. This review was written as an FYI, not so much as a complaint.

One of the best the area! We have been using Carson and his team for many years and have never been disappointed in their level of service. Thank you Carson for all you do!

1512143232

We are so thankful we found Carson! As small business owners, we are busy running our business. We have tremendous peace of mind outsourcing our monthly accounting and annual tax returns (personal & our two businesses) to Carson and his team. We've worked with a number of other CPA's, but the experience was impersonal and the work rushed. Carson is the best. He's accessible when we have questions, and we can always count on a thorough, honest answer, and guidance with our best interest at heart. Did I mention that they stop by to pick up our business accounting information so we can get back to running our business? Brilliant! Look no further!

Hi, everyone looking for a new CPA! I'm a very happy client telling you to look no further. I moved here in July of 2016 to start my first business (specifically, a hair salon). As a Penn State graduate with a degree in accounting, I knew the importance of having a second set of eyes on my monthly financial reporting and tax preparation. I chose Mr. Thorn based on fantastic reviews left by other happy clients, and now I joined the club! First of all, I was absolutely delighted to learn that he accepts new clients. They booked me within a week to consult with me. I met with his assistant, Ru, total doll, who educated me on my service options, as well as what would best suit my needs. Mr. Thorn also took the time to speak with me about my legal business entity, how it relates to my personal taxes, and how I might want to update in the future as my business grows. Mr. Thorn, Ru and Melissa are professional, timely, and kind - SUPER prompt with email responses. I have complete peace of mind. He's also well connected in Raleigh community and referred me to my attorney. I appreciate everything he's done for me!
