Testimonials
Many of our individual, small and large business and professional clients have been clients for years and represent the heart of New York.
“I run a small nonprofit pet shop in Queens and Rock and Hammer is my No.1 trusted advisor. The advice they’ve given me over the years has helped me manage for the proverbial “rainy day.” Well, with the corona virus, that rainy day is here, but I’m still around and so is my business — thanks in large part to the great loan, payroll, insurance and tax advice Rock & Hammer can give when things are good and also now, when you need fast advice on how to manage the impact that COVID-19 is having on the bottom line.”
Valerie Albee, Pets&Vets, NYC
“Henry and Daniel made it clear to me years ago — tax accountancy shops like H&R Block are fine for people who don’t need much advice. Rock and Hammer, on the other hand, is where the smart small business owner goes to get dedicated, committed and full-service tax and business advisory services. There truly is no full service accountancy better than Rock and Hammer in NYC for small businesses.”
Dan Demetriad, Demetriad Photography, NYC
“The entire Rock and Hammer team and both Henry and Daniel are great and reliable, offer personalized attention and customized services you can count on, and have saved me a lot of money over the years. They’re extremely helpful to me and my small business”
Catherine Fitzsimons, Willowtown Gardens, Inc. NYC
“You can tell a lot about the quality of service when each person on a team is individually brilliant, and it’s that way at Rock and Hammer. Henry, Daniel, Diego, Aliona and the rest of the team are committed to helping people of every stripe and giving them solid and trusted expertise through challenge or growth. And now, during the COVID crisis, there’s no better place for financial services advice and strategies than Rock and Hammer.”
