Testimonials

We do right by our clients... and it shows!

Odelia Goldberg, Esquire

I referred several clients to Bette for tax and estate planning work and every time, they came back with positive comments. Bette takes the time to really understand the issues. In one instance, my client had a very complicated tax issue, spanning multiple years and various investment tools. Bette, with her expertise and patience, was able to substantially reduce my clients’ exposure. I highly recommend Bette to anyone and feel fortunate to have her on my team.

Bette and her team, especially Jordan have been instrumental in assisting our company as a fractional CFO, Bookkeeping, HR as well as taxes. Her team can do it all and is very prompt, knowledgeable, efficient and has a client-first approach that is so refreshing! I would highly recommend their services to any startup!

Joe Sosa, Kashkick
Bette is supremely knowledgeable in helping home based businesses in their tax preparation. She taught a workshop on Money Management for these business professionals so they could learn good habits and also maximize their tax benefits. Her expertise, professionalism, & business acumen make her a wonderful resource to any business owner.

I can’t recommend Bette Hochberger enough! If you need an accountant (particularly if you are a trader, crypto- badass, consultant, RE agent or finance professional) her team is pretty amazing!

A combination of friendly personalized service, knowledge and speed is a rarity in most cases. But with Bette, it’s standard practice. Whether you’re a seasoned tax payer with knowledge of all the ins and outs, or a novice with limited knowledge, Bette will take on the ownership you expect and require. In my case as a brand new business owner, Bette went above and beyond to take uncertainty away and guide me through all that would benefit me. I can’t say enough about her. I have already referred her to several friends and families and will continue those referrals because she really IS that good.

Where to begin?

I came to Bette with a TAX disaster from Crypto Trading – and through some amazing work with her and the team “Shout out to Jordan” we cleaned everything up, and landed better than I expected.

All in all, an amazing CPA with an incredible team dedicated to taking care of my complex returns, with speed and accuracy.

5 Stars are not enough…Cheers!
