The Ellsworth Stauffer Commitment
Ellsworth Stauffer, P.C. has been in existence since 1990. Previously named Kent Ellsworth & Company, P.C. we strive to provide the highest quality of service. We specialize in professional companies, i.e. dental, medical, and legal companies. Although we specialize in those fields, we do provide a completely wide range of services to any individual or company. We have clients across the United States from Michigan to Texas, from Connecticut to California.
We work tirelessly to save our clients as much as we possibly can. Our services include bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, and the preparation of tax returns including estate taxes, corporate taxes, and personal taxes. We will review any tax return for no fee. Many times we can find credits or benefits that were not taken or notice another evident error.
We began operations in 1990 in Prescott, Arizona where we had an office for nine years. We moved down to the Phoenix area in 1999 and have been here ever since. In December of 2014 we moved out to Mesa at 2500 S. Power Road Suite 113.
Our emphasis is long term business relationships and our staff is well versed in all aspects of tax and accounting. Whatever you situation is, we can provide a quality solution to your problem. We pride ourselves in the creative manner in which we solve our clients’ problems.
