The full answer

I can't name one "best" accountant. It depends on what you need, like personal taxes, small-business bookkeeping, farm/ranch accounting or audits. Here are some well-reviewed options in Great Falls:

Highly rated on Yelp:

  • Katherine Caldwell, CPA (1601 2nd Ave N): 5.0 (2 reviews), does tax preparation. A reviewer called the service "Professional, knowledgeable & outstanding Service. Waited to get on with her, but so glad we did!"
  • Arlyn W. Johnson, CPA: 4.5 (2 reviews) 3214 4th Ave N Established in 1986 Free estimates. One reviewer said they would "Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and honest accountant."

Other local firms on the list: Solomon Accounting, Deffinbaugh Financial Services, Bloomgren Rivera & Co, Grabofsky Van Heel & Funderburk, Jordan & Associates, H&R Block, Loucks & Glassley Pllp, Douglas Wilson. Anderson ZurMuehlen also appears on a similar list. It's a larger regional firm that may fit businesses with more complex needs.

How to choose:

  • These ratings come from very few reviews, so take them with a grain of salt.
  • Check that the person is a licensed CPA on the Montana Board of Public Accountants website.
  • Ask whether they work with clients like you, such as small businesses, farms or ranches, or military families from Malmstrom AFB.
  • Call two or three of them to compare fees and how quickly they respond, especially close to tax season.
