“Veris is our go to accounting firm. They have always treated us with a focus on finding the best options for our business accounting needs.

-Steve Isaacson, Lowcountry Acceleration Academy
“Veris has conducted the City’s audit for the past five years, and I have personally collaborated with their team for the last two. During my first single audit, their team was exceptional, providing step-by-step assistance to successfully complete the single audit . Their team was not only instrumental in guiding us through GASB 87 Lease Accounting and GASB 96 Subscription-based Information Technology Arrangements reporting, but they are also very patient and accommodating with the City’s timeline. Their thoroughness reassures us that the proper internal and external controls are in place. I must highlight that Arthur is a gem. His easy-going personality and patience with the multitude of questions I ask each year are greatly appreciated, especially during what could otherwise be a stressful time.”
-Debra A. Hamilton Finance Director, City of Isle of Palms
“I’ve been very pleased with the continued exceptional service of Veris over these last several years since Hood and Sealander were acquired. The prompt response to problems and questions is very reassuring and gratifying. Keep up the great work.”

-Dr. Ann Marie Taylor, Horse Creek Academy
“Veris did a wonderful job on our most recent audit. This was our first year with them and their team responded to emails quickly, most often the same day, and they were able to complete the audit on a tight deadline to meet our grant reporting and annual report requirements. They have been available to answer questions post audit and they are a pleasure to work with. We are looking forward to many more years of working together to meet our audit needs.”
-Thomas Knapp, Executive Director
“We’ve been using Veris services for 5 years now. The confidence and professionalism they provide me as a taxpayer are immeasurable. Brooke Skinner won us over with her service and communication skills. We couldn’t be happier with any other tax service.”
-Thomas Musoil
“The entire staff is very knowledgeable and helpful! They have played a vital role in the start-up of our school by helping us build our business office with advice, guidance and oversight not only on finances but also internal controls and processes. They have always been a dependable source for us to rely on and have provided us with the peace of mind needed to be successful! Their team is very friendly and helpful and always quick to respond to your questions. They are very knowledgeable about charter schools and are more than willing to work with you to help your business be more efficient and organized. They are an invaluable source for any school or business! I did not expect the level of personal involvement from Melissa or her staff. We have worked with Veris since before the school first opened – they know our school, our staff, and our history. They are as much a part of our school as any of the people that work in-house. They have far exceeded my expectations of an accounting firm!”
-Jessica Mullen, Operations Director, Bridges Preparatory School
“As a nonprofit, I think it’s crucial to partner with a CPA firm that grasps our mission and operations. Veris has been our go-to firm for independent financial audits for years and their expertise has been indispensable. From clearly communicating the process up front, working with us to establish a realistic timeline, and providing a convenient and organized way to track and exchange documents – the audit is a smooth and efficient process all around. The Veris team is well-equipped with the knowledge and expertise to provide a thorough and valuable independent audit.”
-Jolie Logan Chief Operating Officer, WINGS
“The team at Veris CPA is incredible to work with. I have been dealing with some staff for many years while enjoying any new people I meet during tax season. Everyone from the tax and audit teams is knowledgeable about my unique business. They always have time to answer my questions and explain any process I may not understand. They stay abreast of all changes in my industry that will help or harm me. A special shoutout to Rachel Kerr who I have worked closely with since being a Veris client. She makes me feel like an important part of the Veris family. If you are looking for a highly professional and competent CPA firm look no further than Veris CPA.”
-Terri Cameron, Controller, Jones Ford
“We engaged Veris to perform a review of our financial statements. Their team worked with us closely to understand the nuances of our Organization. They delivered exceptional customer service to me and our organization. We enjoyed working with their team and would highly recommend Veris to others.”
–Jeff Weinman, Treasurer, Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim
“I am pleased to see your company is focused on advising, advanced planning and helping business owners run their business vs. just filling out tax forms. So often small business owners, myself included, get so involved with day to day operations that we fail to see or understand the financial underpinnings of our business. Veris showed me how to use my Company’s financial information to allow better and more profitable business decisions. For that I am grateful.”
-Tom Wilkinson
“Last year my tax preparation needs became more complex and I was referred to Veris. They listened to my concerns and immediately offered suggestions as to best cope with the situation at hand. I have since signed on with Veris for my yearly tax preparation needs. They offer different tiers and levels of service based upon personal need. From the receptionist at the entrance to everyone we have encountered at Veris, their customer service has been exceptional. Phone calls and emails are always answered and responded to promptly. It gives my family such peace of mind knowing we are in such capable hands.”
-Thomas Musiol
“We have worked with Veris since before we received our charter. Their staff has guided us from budget development, through the transition from a private to a public school, and now frequent collaboration as we stabilize our financial posture into the future. Throughout the process the staff of Veris was supportive, patient, and professional. I am much more confident in our financial posture because I know they have my back. Working with Veris was one of the best decisions our Charter Committee made.”
-John Moncure, Headmaster, Montessori School of Camden
“Veris is a true partner with East Point Academy. Throughout the budget planning process, budget execution, daily financial operations and even our annual audit, the staff at Veris provides timely and superior support. They are always available and willing to assist us as we navigate the complexities of Charter School finance. Veris is an important part of the East Point Academy team!”
-Mark A. Bounds, Head of School, East Point Academy
“What I like most about the experience I have had with Veris is the company’s expertise and their depth of knowledge. I can rely on the entire Veris team to be able to answer my questions and concerns about any accounting related topic in a timely manner. The team has the unique ability to explain complex concepts and terms in a way those not in the business can fully understand. Having awful experiences in the past with CPAs and accountants, my expectations were low. Veris has far exceeded expectations. They are trustworthy, loyal and professional – hard qualities to find these days!”
-Shannon Hickey, Head of School, Midlands Arts Conservatory

“I have been a client of Veris for more than 5 years, and rely on them to manage my business QuickBooks (data entry, reconciliations, etc.) as well as prepare my business and personal tax returns and quarterly requirement submissions. They have always done a wonderful job. I have total trust in them to help keep my business in line! I am so thankful that I have such a caring, patient and honest company to rely on!”
-Joyce Means, Owner, Decorating Den Interiors
“We were struggling to get the support we needed for our regular financial reporting. The same problems recurred each month, and we couldn’t seem to make any headway to change that. Our frustration was compounded by the fact that we were paying by the hour to fix every problem. When we came to Veris, we explained the way we wanted our process to work. They listened, identified what needed to be done, and took time to train and equip our staff to provide information seamlessly. Our monthly accounting cost is less than half of what it was, reports are received more promptly, and it has reduced stress on our staff.”
-Jack Hoey, CEO, IES Labor Services
“Veris has been a trusted advisor for both my personal and business accounting needs for over ten years. Brooke’s guidance through the start-up and sale of my first business and the different needs of my second business has been invaluable. The entire team at Veris is great to work with and I often recommend them to my clients.”
-Bryan Buzon, Owner, Escalon Payroll Solutions, LLC
“You have certainly earned your keep after only one year as our tax advisors. You discovered errors made by our previous CPA of twenty years and more importantly took the time to follow up on them. That’s $12,000 we never knew we had prior to switching to Veris .”
-Stephen Reichlyn, Business Owner
“As a local small business owner in the Real Estate industry, I’ve got a lot of income streams and am short on time. I would also say accounting is not a strength. I came to Veris to get a solid system in place and maximize deductions. I’ve come back to them every year as my preferred CPAs because they help keep my books clean, continue to find the best deductions for my business and provide solid advice for how to best manage my money.”
-Gentry Todd, Gentry Todd Properties
“Veris is an extremely professional firm. Our audit was well planned and executed with efficiency. Throughout the process and beyond, the team was always there to answer questions, offer advice, and work with us to find constructive solutions in accordance with best accounting practices. Community trust is the biggest asset of any non-profit which means a thorough independent audit is critical. It is clear that the Veris team worked hard to understand our unique business to arrive at an informed opinion. It is a bonus that they were really pleasant to work with along the way.”
-Michael Smith, Executive Director, Charleston Symphony
