Charlotte and the team at Maris & Associates have been phenomenal! We have been using them for years for our personal tax preparation and they have always over delivered and obtained for us tax refunds bigger than we expected. They are always available to help with prompt advice and we were very impressed by their integrity and in-depth expertise. We recommend them highly!

We were referred to Maris & Associates more than four years ago and the excellent service, expertise and knowledge not only by Charlotte but by the entire staff, make them a pleasure to work with. Income tax preparations are done efficiently and we feel Charlotte truly takes an interest in the best for our business as well as our personal finances. Phone calls and emails are returned 'with a smile' which is much appreciated especially during the busy tax season. We have recommended Maris & Associates to several of our business contacts as well as personal friends and will continue to do so in the future.

My experience with Charlotte was wonderful. I found her to be extremely professional and very easy to work with.

Athena Doolittle

President, Olivia Park Market

I can only describe my experience with Charlotte as "nothing but good". She is absolutely excellent at what she does. She brings value to the table, helping others improve themselves. When I hired Charlotte I wanted someone who was easy to work with, someone who knew the tax rules and regulations and to "keep my fanny" from the IRS. She has been extraordinary in satisfying each of my needs. It gives me great pride referring her to my business associates.

Paul Gray

Senior Account Agent, Allstate Insurance

I originally hired Charlotte because of her great reputation within the community. I have remained a client for over 10 years because of her excellent service, ethical standards and responsive attention to my needs. I find it easy to communicate with Charlotte and her team they are indeed "user-friendly." Any small business owner looking for a new financial services partner will benefit from working with Maris & Associates.

Claudia McClain

President, McClain Insurance Services

I inherited Charlotte as my CPA when the accountant I had been working with for years retired. My experience with her over these years has been fabulous. Charlotte is sharp and well educated when it comes to keeping up to date with the ever-changing tax laws. She is tenacious, loyal, a great problem solver and able to do the proper research providing a prompt and accurate response to my needs. I appreciate her conservative, yet thorough approach to handling all of my tax issues. My hope is that she doesn't retire before I plan to.

Mike Chamberlain

Owner, Ted's Sports Center

I used to dread going to see my accountant until I began working with Charlotte. Now it's like going to visit a friend. I find Charlotte to be extremely personable; she genuinely expresses a heartfelt interest in my business. This extends to her staff as well, I don't get the sense that it's a burden for anyone to take my call and address my needs.

Barb Larson

Secretary/Treasurer, Larson's Cascade Concrete

There is nothing glorious about the type of work Charlotte performs, however she makes things painless for me. Her work is timely, responsible and of high quality at the right price. I find Charlotte to be a thoughtful person; she is interested in me beyond just my business.

Jim Moats

President, Jim Moats & Associates

It's comforting to be greeted by a friendly, helpful staff who remembers me when I contact Maris and Associates. I appreciate Charlotte's professional experience and the fact that she is willing to take the time to tell me, and more importantly, show me how something may work.
