Testimonials

Customer Service is top priority. It is an honor to have received these kind words.

“Working with Marietta was one of the BEST decisions I’ve made for my business. Before I worked with her I would avoid managing my money because I had so many emotions tied to it— fear, anxiety, shame! But I’d screwed up my books so many times I knew I needed to get it together and wanted a professional to guide me. Marietta was a godsend! She is totally invested in not only helping me financially organize my business but she also really got to know me and my business in a deeper way. She led me through the ins and outs of setting myself up for tax efficiency and financial health step-by-step and I never felt overwhelmed or lost. Now I feel on top of the world financially! I have confidence when looking at my books and know just what to do if I have a question— call Marietta! If you are looking for a CPA who actually cares about your business, Marietta is the one. Best money I’ve spent all year.”

-Lia Pinelli, owner Lia Pinelli Coaching LLC, San Francisco, CA

“Marietta is much more than an accountant. I think of her as part of my team and do not feel my company would be where we are now without her. Her ability to not only help with the accounting side of things, but also be a business adviser and walk us through extremely complicated things in a manner that someone like myself can understand is a quality that I did not expect when hiring a CPA. She helped my company move from a small DBA with 3 employees working out of my house, to a corporation with 15 trucks, 20 employees, and a growing number of locations. She is also capable of dealing with our odd personalities without issue, or at least hiding it well 🙂 Thanks Marietta for all the years in the past and long future!”

-Chris Murphy, owner, MCM Pool Service Inc. and MCM Pool Design Inc., Norton, MA

“Marietta and her team have been a tremendous asset to our growing business in more ways than I can explain. No questions go unanswered no matter how stupid. Problems that we did not even know we had solved before they became an issue. From simple payroll to complicated tax problems the Courtney Team has had our back.”

-Matt Small, owner MCM Pool Service Inc. and MCM Pool Design Inc., Norton, MA

“Marietta is a great resource and a pleasure to work with. She is a great fit for women interested in learning more about their finances.”

-Meredith Ainbinder, MA

“I had the pleasure of working with Marietta for 5 years at Gray, Gray, & Gray, collaborating on several engagements. She demonstrated a high degree of expertise and her supervision was clear. She responded in a timely manner to clients’ inquiries and concerns. She was also a great mentor to me. She is exceedingly knowledgeable in accounting and taxes. I would recommend her highly as a tax advisor and consultant.”

-Lulu Gustavsen, Director of Finance at Babson Executive Education (BEE) & Assistant Controller/Treasurer of Babson Global Inc.

“We have been with Marietta since 2012 and since then she has helped my practice be in compliance with all federal and state laws. We even had an audit in 2016, which went event free, due to her stellar accounting principles and advice as to how to manage our assets and accounts. I am sure it pained the IRS when they mailed us the letter saying that our taxes were in order and they were closing our file. Marietta is very personable, knowledgeable and more importantly, responds to emails quickly!! Highly recommend!!!”

-Demetre, owner Woburn Physical Therapy Inc., Woburn, MA

“Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that I have really appreciated your attention to detail and responsiveness to my family’s business and personal tax issues.  Your work has been prompt, competent, ultra-thorough and communication with you is super easy.
Changing accountants is never an easy process, but you have made our transition simple and painless so far.  Your efforts have surely not gone unnoticed and I wanted to make sure we let you know that.  I know how nice it feels to have someone recognize the effort it takes to make things happen in my business and I expect you feel the same way.

To continued mutual success,”

-Steve, owner Sea Gate Painting & Carpentry, Inc., MA

“Marietta has turned our tax life around. She is deeply knowledgeable, stays current on the constant changes, and has the not-so-common ability to turn that knowledge into practical advice on tax preparation and planning that has paid for itself and given us more confidence in our year-over-year approach to managing our taxes. We use Marietta for both our business and personal tax work. She and her team put a strong emphasis on understanding our situation in detail, and have worked closely with us and other advisors to recommend and implement tactics that have reduced our stress and our overall tax obligations. We strongly recommend (and enjoy working with) Marietta.”

Matt Smith, owner, President, RenewGas Transportation and Partner in real estate LLC

“We have been working with Marietta, and her CPA firm, for several years now and have been very pleased with the results. We were searching for a new CPA firm and were not thrilled with the firms we spoke with. We wanted to be more than a number with some stuffy, white shirt and tie accounting firm. We wanted a working relationship with someone that took the time to understand our goals and could help us achieve them. We were lucky to meet Marietta through the chamber of commerce and things just clicked. If you want to feel that your CPA is part of your team then you have found the right person.”

Brian McCafferty, founder at Automation Concepts & Technologies, an Ockers Company

“I worked very closely with Marietta as treasurer of a non-profit organization called West Side Benevolent Circle in Mansfield MA. Filing our taxes requires tons of information from many sources. Marietta was able to help us systematize this process and remove the sense of being overwhelmed. She continues to be responsive to our questions both big and small. We appreciate her support and the expert advice she brings to the table. Without hesitation I would recommend Marietta!”

-Anne Langton, Commercial Office Interior Designer

“I must have some kind of phobia with finances. The thought of sitting down to figure out my money status fills me with dread. Marietta calmly sat with me and helped to ease my anxiety. She was systematic in identifying the areas in which I needed to provide information so that she could then take over the process of filing and accounting for my business. I recommend Marietta Courtney to any small business owner who wishes to work with an accountant who truly listens and who is willing to guide you through the appropriate steps towards financial accountability.”
