Why Choose a CPA Firm?

When hiring “accountants”, many people think they are getting CPAs when they are not. While most people use the terms accountant and CPA interchangeably, there are several big differences. The CPA designation is one of the most widely recognized and highly trusted professional designations in the business world and is distinguished from “accountants” by stringent qualifications, licensing requirements and confidentiality standards.

As a CPA Firm in Maine, The Swanson Group LLC serves many different industries and clients. All The Swanson Group LLC services are directed by Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). To maintain a CPA license, each CPA must complete 40 hours of continuing professional education (CPE) each year. This knowledge is shared, specialized expertise is developed and the intellectual capacity of our firm grows with each hour of continuing education taken.

Here are some of the things you can expect from The Swanson Group LLC:
