About Us

Many firms claim to be “different”, but what does that really mean?

We’re in it for the long haul and hope you will be too.

We founded CCBC with the goal of combining our business and financial advising skills to ensure the success of privately held companies, non-profit organizations, and high net-worth individuals.

We are a Hamilton based full-service chartered professional accounting firm with 25 years of combined experience in public accounting.
