About our firm Background Evers & Fox, Certified Public Accountants, was formed in 1986 to provide an alternative resource to those seeking accounting and tax advice and services. The people in our firm can offer a high level of expertise as is found in a large firm, and yet, maintain the close personal contact that one would expect of a small firm. Therefore, the client wins. The Evers & Fox philosophy is to treat the client like we want to be treated when we seek professional advice. Both partners have been employed in private industry, and having sat on “that side of the desk,” know the questions and frustrations that confront the client every day. We want to be there to do what we can to make life easier and to help guide the client through the maze of accounting questions, tax laws, and general business problems. Evers & Fox is a small, high quality firm emphasizing highly individualized and personal attention to each client. We concentrate on the planning process -- the “before the fact.” This planning is becoming more essential for each client in light of the increasingly competitive business environment and changing tax structures. We want to be involved in helping make those tough business and personal decisions. Our Mission Evers & Fox, P.C. is committed to creating relationships that bring value to life by being proactive with accounting, tax planning and consulting with our staff and clients. We believe in big company results with a small company touch. Our aim is to consider all aspects of a client’s life, not just to focus on a small part of it. While we are not “all things to all people”, we can help you find the necessary expertise in other areas. Our work with the client is challenging and we take our responsibility seriously, but we have fun in the process. We are able to present a balance of lifestyle for all members of your planning team. Our clients are planning-oriented and want to develop relationships. They appreciate and understand the value of creating a bond with us. We seek clients who we can respect and who can respect us. There can be no adversarial relationships between us and our client. Our clients are individuals, be they corporate executives, the self-employed, professionals, investors, or the retired. We represent closely-held and privately owned businesses. Trusts and estates and non-profit organizations are within our expertise, too.
