About us
A small firm
with big standards.
Founded in 2008 by Elena Hartwell, CPA, we’ve grown to a team of 14 who still answer the phone ourselves.
Our story
Accounting you can actually understand.
Elena started the firm after years at a large accounting office, where clients waited weeks for answers. Hartwell & Co. was built on a simple promise: a real CPA who knows your name, explains your numbers in plain English and replies within one business day.
