Hear Why Our Clients Love Us

  • Jim Moss
    These guys at Paramount are awesome! This is the only place to go for tax preparation. Look no further. I especially enjoyed working with Braden and Jon.
  • Lisa Phillipps
    Have used Paramount Draper since 2017. Just finished 2024 taxes, Alex was awesome, he helped me with my business and personal return. He's sharp and capable. I have also corresponded with Paula, the admin, over the last several years and she is extremely prompt at responding to phone calls and emails. Thank you!
  • LeeAnn Fulton
    Absolutely incredible working with the extraordinary men at Paramount Tax
  • Aaron Chambers
    Quick turnaround, easy to work with, and responsive.
  • James Gilman
    Paramount was great because they were fast to turn around my return, they addressed my concerns and were very helpful through the process. I will use them again.
  • Cassie Johnsen
    Jon and Braden were super helpful! Made things a lot easier this tax season
  • Isaac Parker
    I've used paramount for years, It is 100% worth it! Doing taxes has become so much less stressful and they always work to get you the best return you can! I've worked with multiple accountants there and all three have been great!
  • Bonnie Grigoratos
    We met with Jon and Braden today to file our 2024 taxes and they were both amazing. They were both very knowledgeable and walked us through every section of our taxes, including small business filing. We will absolutely continue to use them in the years to come.
  • William
    Braden and John are AWESOME. They were super patient, and walked us through expenses and the current tax landscape for businesses. They are our tax team going forward bar none. (Bonus points for going over the benefit of brushing one's teeth regularly).
  • Fetaiaki Manuatu
    I’ve been going to Paramount since 2022 and and my experience gets better and better each year. 2023 I worked with Braden Thompson and he was amazing to work with especially with my small business. He was able to find every possible way to benefit my business and more. I went back to Paramount this year to file and this time worked with Darrin Kauer while Braden assisted. I was nervous at first cause I gained a good relationship with Braden since beginning of last year. But Darrin didn’t miss one bit. He knew what he was doing and I’m sure I’ll gain another good relationship with another Paramount employee in Darrin. One thing I love about working with Paramount is they make you feel like family and will take good care of you and your business year round and not only during tax season. I’m always happy to work with these guys and will never try to do my own taxes or trust anyone else ever again. The cherry on top with my visit today was finally meeting the owner Dave. He came in and introduced himself and made sure we were taken care of. Paramount has been a blessing to me and my business and I’m glad to have them be a part of my life.
  • Kyle Pierce
    Love Paramount tax and accounting. I've been using them for a few years now. They helped me save a bunch in taxes and they are also very responsive when I need their help. Highly recommend!
  • Kaitlyn Pia
    It would not be at all dramatic to say that this tax firm changed my life. I have been a client since 2021 and will never go back. PI am a one woman small business (self employed hairstylist) and with the help of Paramount, tax season has quickly turned from an absolute nightmare to just another easy breezy day. I cannot recommend coming here enough and will be a customer for life! Since filing with Paramount, I have saved myself not only a lot headache, but quite literally *thousands* of dollars in what would have been owed taxes. This year I worked with Jon & Braden, who not only worked their accounting magic, but were also a joy to sit with during my appointment. Thanks for another pleasant year of taxes (I mean really, not many people can say that)!
  • roger sprague
    Excellent job, helped out a lot. Fair price for the service.
  • Adam Humpal
    Making an appointment was easy and they helped guide us through the tax process and complete our return. They helped us identify ways to reduce our tax burden. Thank you!
  • Drea Hymas
    I was worried about doing taxes since our original one we had for many years had stepped away from the industry. Paramount made the on boarding eerily seamless. Darrin was fantastic with navigating with my spouse and I through the process. Patient when I had questions/concerns. I look forward to future work with him and/or the business for other potential needs.
  • Jerry James
    We met Braden for a consultation. He was very happy to answer many of the questions that we had regarding our estate taxes.
  • Austin Rawlings
    I love working with Paramount! They are always efficient and easy to work with!
  • Janna Simonsen
    Paramount has done an exceptional job! I appreciate their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile.
  • Caitlin Probst
    The team at Paramount is amazing, this was my first year filing with them. Darren was awesome and super attentive, and at one point we had 3 people in the room looking over some deductions to make sure they were accurate. In a one hour meeting they tripled what I thought my return would be. They are worth every penny, I would recommend them to anyone.
  • David Webb
    Southwick and team are fantastic and super easy to work with. Their fees are more than fair and their prompt attention to requests and questions is impressive. Highly recommend.
