Who are your typical clients?

The client base includes digital businesses and marketing agencies, content creators, construction and hospitality companies, real estate investors, tech startups, and scaling multi-unit operations.

What does a typical engagement look like?
Most clients start with a consultation to discuss their business structure, current tax situation, and goals.

“I came to Micah after a few negative accounting experiences from other vendors. Now it's been 2 years and I've found him to be extremely knowledgeable. His gift is breaking down complex accounting and tax concepts into easy to understand snippets. Micah's insights and recommendations have been truly invaluable. If you're looking for a new accountant, don't hesitate. Highly recommended!”

“Micah has prepared my taxes for me for the past five years. Each and every time his services, as well as those of his staff, have been outstanding and extremely prompt. Micah and his staff are professional, detail-oriented and an absolute pleasure to work with. I will continue to use Micah's services year after year. I highly recommend him to anyone! Roberta Paluck”

“I started an imports business this year and went through multiple other accountants until I found Micah. He immediately understood what we were trying to do at my initial consultation with him and helped us organize our business to maximize chances at success. His prices are very reasonable and he is exceptionally diligent in responding to emails. After doing my own taxes for years, I am very glad I have found Micah to take the burden of taxes off my plate. I have recommended him to my friends and family as well. If you have a small business in the Roanoke area, you'd be in excellent hands with Micah Fraim.”
— Rich Truxillo (Doc Legendary), Google Review
“Micah couldn't have been any easier to work with. He explained everything clearly and his use of technology really expedited the process for me to give him the information he needed to do a thorough job. He handled my personal and my business filings. I've used a firm out of Florida for over 10 years to handle my taxes but I decided to go local this year, partly because I waited too long and I needed someone close by that was willing to meet with me and get up to speed on my financials quickly. Micah was very efficient and I recommend him highly. Micah is my new tax guy, and I'm planning on having him handle my bookkeeping in the very near future. If you're looking for someone that you can trust to do a great job, and someone that will communicate with you and provide clarity, you can stop looking now. His name is Micah Fraim. He's worth every dollar.”
— Adam Midkiff, Google Review
“Micah provided amazing service for my husband and I this tax season. He not only was able to help us get the greatest return we could get for this year but was able to find errors in our previous years returns as well. He is quick, friendly, and his services have been invaluable to us. He truly cares for his clients and strives to help them in any way possible. We will be using his services for many years to come!”
