Ben Platt and his entire team at TEMBO CPAs are truly the market professionals and top notch at what the do! They have helped my wife and I get our entire business completely organized and have saved us so much money strategizing effectively with monthly and quarterly reviews. They have also helped us build out and scale our real estate portfolio by helping us understand the tax advantages for residential and commercial real estate. They’re personable, reliable, and stand behind their work. As a small business owner, having someone like Tembo CPAs in your corner is one of the best investments and partnerships we have ever made. Who you work with matters and I would say you can’t afford to not work with them!! After reading this review, you should just pick up the phone and call them today.

I have been a client of the Tembo team for just over a month, and the way they’ve structured their firm provides exceptional value to clients. You couldn’t pay me money to switch to another firm. They are returning me multiples of my investment in the first year because I had no idea a particular tax strategy fit my situation, and they fixed that.
The initial consultation allows them to get a full and clear understanding of your situation, and their lead expert, Ben, is able to put together a holistic strategy to fit your unique situation. I haven’t gotten that from many company’s, let alone other accountants in St Augustine.
If you’re reading this, you are lucky to have found this place, and I highly encourage you to book a call with them.
Thank you guys so much!!
