Accountants & Advisors for Entrepreneurial Minds

About Us

The Difference Between Accounting & Advising

Entrepreneurs are people who turn ideas into action. They have a way of thinking that values self-reliance and strives for distinction through excellence. The kind of thinking that is the difference between business as usual and unusually good business. At Lear & Pannepacker, we think that way on behalf of our clients. That is because our approach is both personalized and strategic—it’s the difference between accounting and advising—solving today’s tax planning challenges with modern solutions, while keeping our eye focused on meeting your long-term goals. We are proud to provide the highest quality professional accounting, auditing, bookkeeping, and tax planning for businesses, personal finances, or not-for-profit organizations.

After receiving bad information and a1099 not listed as income that cost us $10,000.00 from our previous CPA that we had been with for many years I contacted Dennis at Lear & Pannepacker. Scheduled an appointment. I sent him our information and was reviewed prior to our appointment. during our meeting Dennis pointed out several items that could have saved us money. We now have a CPA that is working for us.thank you

My point person (Jonathan Lear) was terrific and helped me not only get a larger refund than I was expecting, but also helped me get a small PPP loan. He was responsive, listened carefully, and paid great attention to detail. Well-earned.

Every year we have used them my family has had issues. There are always errors that we catch and have had back taxes owed after using them resulting in thousands of dollars of unexpected expenses over a year later.

Lear and Pannepacker has been great to me over the years. They not only do an excellent job in terms of tax preparation but also in terms of advice and planning. Importantly they are also extremely responsive. I have never had a problem contacting them or receiving a return call or email. Their staff is courteous and professional.

Having just finished our tax filings for 2019 I am very satisfied with the exceptional service provided by Dennis and his team! From our first meeting last year, to Delia processing our documents today, I am so happy I switched from our previous firm which had grown too large to provide the local, customer-focused service we have now received from Lear & Pannepacker. I highly recommend them.
