Since its founding in 1985 by Marc Sterling, Sterling’s Bookkeeping and Tax Service has grown into a firm to not only service individuals, but a wide variety of businesses as well. Sterling’s now serves over 2,000 bookkeeping and tax clients in all 50 states.
In 2005, Jon Chester, Kevin Gardner and Gilbert Castillo were named partners in the firm. They will continue the tradition that Marc began over 20 years ago; of growing and meeting the demands of our clients needs into the future.
We are strongly committed to employing professional individuals that give our clients the very best service. We have the resources and knowledge to assist you with day-to-day operations. This includes payroll, loan assistance, IRS issues, sales tax reports, financial reports and income tax for individuals and businesses.
Sterling’s is an established full-servce bookkeeping, tax, and consulting firm, open 52 weeks a year, Monday through Friday. We don’t close for the summer, because you don’t. If you have a need for financial services but can’t utilize a full-time accountant, we can provide you with services at a rate much lower than having to hire an individual, saving you wages and payroll taxes.
With Sterling’s vast knowledge and expertise, you can confidently know that we will provide you with the quality you expect and guidance to build a clear and sound financial picture.
