Why work with Grady CPA?

Our experienced staff, combined with our range of services, allow us to provide the level of support you want or need — wherever you need it. We are unique in that we are a boutique-size firm with four in-house CPAs. Our clients benefit from their proficiency. Furthermore, in NY State, only CPAs are authorized to provide audits and reviews.

In 2019, Grady CPA moved to new, larger offices – still located in the quaint historic village of Rhinebeck, New York, which has become a cultural, culinary, lifestyle and recreational destination for residents throughout the Hudson Valley, tourists, weekenders, and visitors from all over the world. Many of our clients are local or regional, yet we also serve individuals and businesses in many other states around the country, including Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington, D.C.

We’re happy to answer any questions you may have, or schedule a free consultation.
