The local-versus-remote question matters less than whether the CPA actually looks at your numbers throughout the year.

June, August and DecemberJune, August and December. That’s when a year-round CPA is looking at your numbers.

Who we work with

Who We Work With in Sandy

Sandy’s business mix skews toward service businesses, tech startups, real estate professionals, and growing home-services trades. Our typical Sandy client is doing between $500K and $5M in revenue and is past the point where a generalist tax preparer makes sense.

They need a year-round CPA who looks at the numbers in June and August and December, not just in April. Most of our Sandy work is handled remotely, so the relationship runs on response time and competence, not commute distance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Darin and his team at Ashford Sky have truly been the most phenomenal group that I've worked with for any aspect of my business. Before I was a paying client, he talked through many different tax strategies, entity structure implications, and much more. Once I started having him do my books and my taxes, he went above and beyond to make sure that things were done right. Things that I was hopelessly lost on, he just took care of without question and explained it to me afterward. I recommend him and his team for any and every business that you have, for booking, taxes, and everything in between.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used Darin for some incredibly complex accounting and tax issues. He's been the smartest guy in the room each time and helped find solutions related to compensation tax consulting, asset transfer, loss allocation, K-1s, bookkeeping, and much more! I strongly recommend him and I'm already recommending him to others!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Darin and his team have been phenomenal partners. As a new small business owner, I needed guidance on multiple fronts - how to structure my company, our tax strategy, and overall financial statement management. Darin and his team delivered on all three fronts!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional.  Very punctual.  Very much attention to detail.  Very pleasant to work with.  Very refreshing.  Very affordable and worth every penny.  My refund multiplied 7X after Darin took a look as a second set of eyes on a very complex return.  I highly recommend Darin Pierson for your tax needs.  I only wish I would've found Darin sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions About a Sandy CPA

Don’t see yours? Call 385-412-1299 and ask.

Do you have a Sandy office?

No, and that’s intentional. Our office is in Salt Lake City and all our Sandy client work is handled remotely. Removing the commute means we can put our time into your numbers instead of into a satellite office.

Why work with a CPA outside of Sandy rather than a local Sandy CPA?

The work is the same. The relationship is what matters. We’re 20 minutes north and we serve Sandy clients with the same response times as our SLC clients. The local-versus-remote question matters less than whether the CPA actually looks at your numbers throughout the year.

What industries in Sandy do you specialize in?

Tech and SaaS founders. Real estate professionals. Home-services trades that have grown from a single van to a real operation. Service businesses with employees and meaningful inventory or equipment. If your business has outgrown a tax preparer, we’re a fit.

Can you handle a bookkeeping cleanup before we engage for ongoing work?

Yes. Most Sandy engagements start with a cleanup phase. We get your chart of accounts right, reconcile every account, categorize transactions properly, and deliver clean monthly reports. Once the books are reliable, the ongoing work runs smoothly.
