I WANT IT!!WHO WE ARE
Tim & Jen
Hi! We're the owners of Alternative CPA & Consulting, we're both brilliant accountants, and we just really want to help people.
After the hollowness and exhaustion of pointlessly selling our souls to faceless corporations in exchange for money, we decided to turn our talents and intellect towards giving those same great tools (and great advantages) to the good, hard-working Americans in our hometown of Sandpoint, Idaho.
Now we want to take that help, dispensed one hour at a time (at a cost of hundreds of dollars per hour) and provide this valuable information to everyone who needs it!
READ OUR STORY

"I've always done my own taxes, confident each year that I'd optimized as much as possible. By asking the right questions, Jennifer was able to identify a couple key areas where I'd missed things or mis-interpreted the questions in the software."

"Jennifer, Tim and their team are great to work with. They are patient, clear and thorough communicators who take true joy in helping their clients succeed. As a small business owner, I am grateful for their knowledge and expertise."

"[Jennifer and her team] consulted our business to make the right tax decisions that involved multiple states and involved many different accounting and tax rules and regulations. Her great service and professional counsel is a key asset that helps us make the right business and tax decisions, ensure compliance and save thousands."
