The full answer

There isn't one "best" accountant in Kalispell. Which one is right for you depends on what you need, such as personal taxes, small-business bookkeeping, or financial planning. Online reviews can give you a starting list, though.

Firms that come up often in review listings:

  • On Yelp's list of top accountants in Kalispell, Smith & Smith CPA's PC, JCCS CPA - Kalispell, Abacus Business & Tax Consulting, Liberty Tax, Julie M Adkins CPA PC, Thrive Financial, and Jeff O'Brien CPA all appear.
  • Another Yelp list adds Alpine Tax & Accounting, H&R Block, Stahlberg, Taylor & Associates, PC, and Swiftcurrent Consulting & Accounting.

Many of these firms have only a few reviews, so the rankings aren't very reliable.

How to choose:

  1. Decide what you need. For business returns, audits, or complicated tax situations, look for a CPA. For a simple personal return, a tax preparer like Liberty Tax or H&R Block may be enough and cost less.
  2. Check their license. You can confirm a CPA's license with the Montana Board of Public Accountants.
  3. Ask local people. Business owners, your bank, or groups like the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce often know who's good.
  4. Talk to two or three firms. Ask about fees, whether they've handled cases like yours, and whether they're taking new clients. Many fill up during tax season.
