                    Michelle G. Mattison

                          Certified Public Accountant

    She started her career as a staff auditor with a former top accounting firm, after graduating from Old Dominion University. She gained valuable experience dealing with large accounts and multi-millionaires while performing audits on non-profit and for-profit. Her goal was to help people create wealth through financial planning with the emphasis on laying a foundation.
     She found out really quick that people were too busy living that no one was taking the time to plan. So, she opens the firm to all that she could do under her CPA umbrella: accounting, bookkeeping, payrolls, taxes (personal & business), and consulting. As the practice grew, she realized that taxes were in the top 10 reasons why individual/business do not create wealth. Taxes became the dominant service in the firm: preparation, representation before the IRS, and most of all tax planning.
