Hi, my name is Chuck Powers, and I am the principal of Powers Accounting. I am a Washington State Certified Public Accountant (CPA), originally licensed in 1998 (license #19988). What does it mean to be a CPA? CPAs are distinguished from other types of accountants by stringent licensing requirements. To qualify for a state license, CPAs must have a college degree, pass a rigorous national examination, and meet experience requirements. Once licensed, CPAs are governed by a strict code of professional conduct that requires them to maintain objectivity and integrity in all engagements, including small business accounting and payroll services.

My credentials also include certification by Intuit as a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. What does it mean to be a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor? To become one, a candidate must complete a three-part, in-depth training course on a version of QuickBooks and successfully pass comprehensive testing. My ProAdvisor profile is viewable at:

So, what does it mean to be BOTH a CPA and a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor? Please realize that it is quite rare to find both a technically proficient ProAdvisor who is also a CPA that specializes in small business accounting. You will be hard pressed to find someone more qualified to help you with your small business accounting needs.

Clients that thrive the best with my accounting and payroll services are those who are looking for a long-term relationship with a technically competent and caring business partner. I will do everything possible to help you and your business grow and thrive for the long term. I am in this partnership arrangement with you for the long haul, and your success is my success.

My style tends toward partnership and collaboration, and you may find me spending most of my time with you asking questions and listening. I believe that once I fully understand your business needs, goals and desires, I can best serve you. I don't work well with controlling, dominating and non-empathetic personalities.

With that said, I hope that you will seriously consider my services. Please don't hestitate to contact me with your questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you!

Warmest regards,
Chuck Powers, CPA
