Firm Profile

Background

Michele Theuerkauf, CPA provides quality, personalized financial guidance to Northern New Jersey area individuals and businesses. For businesses, my experience is very unique in that I combine both public and private accounting experience to my clients. As a member of executive teams in private industry, I have lived and breathed the role of the accounting professional in the day to day running of multi-million dollar companies. Therefore, I have a unique advantage over other CPAs in knowing what companies need as far as accounting system set up and financial reporting in order to run their businesses effortlessly and successfully. My expertise ranges from basic day to day accounting services to more in-depth services such as breakeven analysis, cash flow and budgeting analysis, pricing models, and preparation of financial statements.

For individuals, Michele Theuerkauf, CPA provides not only tax planning and 1040 preparation, but also budgeting, organization and income and expense tracking services for personal finances. I work one on one counseling individuals so that they fully understand their finances and tax return. My personal attention and service are the reasons why my client base returns each year.

Philosophy

My mission is to help clients, both individuals and businesses, maintain financial viability in the present, while taking a proactive approach to achieve future goals. This requires open communication to reach an understanding of my clients’ needs through discussions, research, and sound analysis. Michele Theuerkauf, CPA is dedicated to meeting these goals with the highest standards of excellence and professionalism. My goal is not merely to meet a client’s expectation but to exceed them. This is accomplished by conducting all business with an extremely personable and friendly business approach while maintaining fair fees. Although short term projects are always welcomed and accepted, I aim to establish long-term relationships with my clients, whether they are individuals or businesses. I have adopted an approach to my practice whereby all of my clients receive 100% of their services directly from me. I have chosen not to delegate tasks to less seasoned individuals because I do not believe that my clients receive the best value using that approach. Through an extensive network of professional relationships, of which I have personal knowledge of their ethics, professionalism and expertise, I am confident that all of my clients’ needs can be met and their goals achieved.
