Company Profile

Colavito, Telschow & Colavito, LLC
Certified Public Accountants
Formed July 1, 2001 from a merger of Colavito & Colavito, Certified Public Accountants, and Linda L. Telschow, Certified Public Accountant, we represent over fifty years of experience in public accounting. We offer complete accounting, auditing and tax services.

Our goal is to provide:
Quality expertise: We are licensed Certified Public Accountants in the States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and are members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as well as the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants. As part of our membership requirements we must each acquire 40 hours of Continuing Professional Education each year. We must undergo a periodic quality review of our work by our peers.

Reasonable rates: For all commercial accounts, we will issue client engagement letters, quoting our hourly rate and anticipated number of hours for the engagement, or, if requested by the client, a flat annual rate. We will spell out exactly which services we will provide and how the client is to be billed. This will preclude any misunderstandings from developing. For all individual tax returns, we will quote you a fee up front from our published fee listing.

For the convenience of all, so that we do not have to carry receivables at a cost that we must pass along to our clients, we offer the availability of VISA/MC/DISCOVER/AMEX acceptance.

Caring, personalized service: We schedule appointments for your convenience. Be it weekday, or week-end, daytime or nighttime. If we are out when you call, we will get back to you within one day. Our goal is to get to know you, our client, so that we can anticipate your needs and how to best serve them. For individual taxpayers we offer the option of federal and state tax electronic filing for fast receipt of your refund deposited directly into your bank account, or electronic payment deducted from your account on a day of your choice. We are here year round to service your needs.
