Cholwell Benz And Hartwick

Work is sold in three fixed tiers rather than by the hour. Each covers the 1120S S-corporation return, sales tax filings and year-end financial statements; what changes is pace — bookkeeping reconciled quarterly, monthly or weekly, tax planning calls annually, quarterly or monthly, and a response time that tightens from two business days to same day. The top tier adds bill pay, a custom KPI dashboard and monthly coaching calls. Payroll, QuickBooks setup and training, estate and trust planning, and IRS representation in audits and disputes sit alongside.

Restaurants and contractors recur among the businesses served, and managing partner Matt Wakefield, who joined after graduating from CSU Chico in 2013, ran his own brewery and restaurant. Clar T. Byers III, CPA, joined in 1990 and became partner in 1996; he works in trust and estate taxation and leads the Brookings, Oregon office. Partner emeritus Kevin D. Hartwick, a CPA licensed in California and Oregon, began at Price Waterhouse in Sacramento before returning to Crescent City in 1987.
