Metz CPA

Established in 1992, Metz & Associates is a full-service CPA firm and one of the most valuable resources for small and midsized businesses. Headquartered in Phoenix with offices in New York and Milwaukee, Metz & Associates offers the depth and breadth of a national accounting, tax, audit, and consulting practice. What makes Metz & Associates different is the commitment to the core values that build a corporate culture of service, responsiveness, and commitment to deliver results. This practice enables the firm to adapt with ease to the changes in industry technology, regulations, and laws while continuously offering premiere services to their clients.

One of the salient features of Metz & Associates is the way it embraces change with open arms and agile project methodologies. The focus on managing change enables the firm to adapt with ease and speed to any new accounting standards and developments in technology. A key feature of the operation is the daily workflow team meetings that ensure challenges are overcome in minimum time, service quality is high, and response to client needs is quick and accurate. This is best exemplified in the manner in which the company facilitates business growth and scalability through its personalized financial services.

The founder of Metz & Associates, John S. Metz, has since 1978 been one of the most active within the accounting industry. He later relocated to Phoenix in 1980 and formed this firm in 1992, raising quite a name in business. John and his wife Mary retired in 2015, but they remain associated with the company through an annual "Founders Day" on January 7, when the team comes together to toast the company's beginnings over drinks and talk about what is happening next.

At the heart of Metz & Associates is a positive and energetic team spirit, along with its family-focused atmosphere-its recently named, by the Phoenix Business Journal, one of the "Best Places to Work." The firm encourages team cohesion through weekly team lunches, grill-outs, and monthly ""Metzy Awards,"" given to those employees that best reflect the values of the firm. This is further reinforced with a strong focus on continuous learning and development within the firm to achieve excellence, not only for its team but for its clients as well.
