"I couldn't be happier"
As a woman with a small business and new to the area, I asked friends who I might engage as an accountant. More than one pointed me to Fred Zeitler, and I couldn't be happier to have him at my side in running my business, paying taxes, and looking for ways to deal with uncertain economic times.

"Came out of our audit with flying colors"
I was selected for a random audit a few years ago, and Fred was right there to help me, at no additional cost. He asked if I wanted to visit the Feds by myself or with him or just have him go with me. We both agreed that the last choice was the best. Fortunately, because of Fred, my forms and receipts were up-to-date, and we 'endured' the audit and came out with flying colors. Very reassuring.

"You can count on them."
Fred has been my accountant for thirty years since when I started my company, Bullock Utilities, Inc. He has given me good, sound advice on a wide range of business and tax issues and I highly recommend him and his new firm, Zeitler & Zeitler, CPA’s. You can count on them.

"On time and hassle free"
Vince Anna’s Restaurant in South Westerlo has been serving fine Italian/American food to the Greater Greenville area since 1945 and for the past twenty five years we have been fortunate to have Fred Zeitler, CPA as our accountant. And now we are even more fortunate to have his son Christopher partner with Fred, so that we now have Zeitler & Zeitler, CPA’s to represent us in the future. They do our weekly payroll, file our quarterly sales tax returns, reconcile our bank accounts and keep track of where we are income wise throughout the year and so much more. They do things on time and hassle free which lets me do what I do best – cook.

“Trustworthy, kind, truly cares and goes above and beyond”
I cannot recommend Mike enough. He is trustworthy, kind, truly cares and goes above and beyond to help you with your tax needs. As a business owner who really struggled to understand her taxes, Mike was with me every step of the way.

I can’t say enough good things about this firm, easy to work with, one phone call gets things done. The entire staff is very knowledgeable, and if they don’t have an answer immediately, they get you one quick. What else can you ask for?
