We pride ourselves on breaking down complex accounting terminology into clear, actionable steps. With Salt Creek Consulting & CPA, you’ll always have access to your CPA when you need it — without the stuffy boardroom vibe.

What sets us apart: You will not find hourly rate charges at Salt Creek Consulting & CPA. We charge based on the value of the service, not the clock. This ensures proactive communication and a true partnership. Routine calls, questions, and emails are always included.

I’ve worked with Brooke Horvath at Salt Creek CPA & Consulting since before I bought my business, and she has been invaluable. Her proactive tax planning has saved me money and helped me make confident financial decisions for both my clinic and my family. She truly is a one-stop shop for accounting, payroll, and both business and personal taxes. Having someone I trust to handle it all gives me peace of mind so I can focus on running my practice.

Brooke has become such a trusted part of our team. She knows nonprofit finance inside and out, takes the time to really think through our questions, and often goes above and beyond to help us find solutions. Because of her expertise, we are able to move forward with confidence no matter the situation.

I purchased my business on November 1, 2023, and immediately hired Brooke Horvath and the team at Salt Creek CPA & Consulting the very next day. Having already consulted with Brooke on the complexities of buying a business, bringing her on as our Outsourced CFO was an obvious decision.

Brooke and her team have been an enormous asset to my business's growth and success. The biggest benefit has been our consulting relationship. Whenever I have concerns or questions about growth strategy, asset purchases, or hiring decisions, Brooke provides invaluable insights across all facets of the business. Honestly, I would hire her full-time if she would let me!
