About Driftless CPA

The Story of Driftless CPA & Consulting

Accountants are still viewed as stuffy, boring, introverts, squirreled away in an office neck deep in a bunch of numbers. Business owners cringe at the thought of calling, assuming a conversation they will understand little of and a surprise bill soon to follow.

Owner, Shelly Liston, opened Driftless CPA & Consulting to avoid the entire situation. You shouldn't worry if you can afford to call your accountant and you should be able to communicate with them in way to grasp the advice they are sharing. Driftless CPA offers clear fixed upfront pricing and services performed by someone you can actually relate to. There is no guarantee there won't be a bad tax joke but you can feel confident that you will not feel lost over your finances. You deserve the peace of mind that your financials are being handled so you can get back to doing what you love.
