-- About the Firm

Trust is our reward.

J Berkey & Co. was built on a straightforward idea: clients deserve the expertise of a national firm at a price that makes sense. No franchise royalties, no inflated fees, no surprises.

01

Qualified professionals only

Every preparer at J Berkey & Co. is registered with the IRS, carries professional liability insurance, and maintains a clean background. That is a firm requirement, not a differentiator.

02

Pricing in writing, up front

Fees are disclosed before any work begins. Pricing is based on a standard menu and consistently below national averages because there are no franchise royalties being passed along to you.

03

More than a number

Every client is seen in a private office and treated as an individual, not a transaction. We take the time to understand your situation before we touch your return.
