We have been with Paar Melis for 15+ years and could not be happier! Experts in their field and experts in my industry! Perfect combination.

Brandon Pickering
As an owner/operator of multiple auto repair establishments in the Denver Metro area, there isn’t anyone I’d rather have handle our Accounting and Tax business. Jason, Reed, Gail, Hunt and so many others are integral to our operation. I can’t think of a life without them!
Travis Troy
The staff at Paar Melis and Associates have taken my auto repair business to the next level. With their expertise and knowledge in the Auto Repair Business, I sincerely cannot thank Terry Delph enough for all that she does and the countless hours she dedicates to all of her clients. She is literally only a phone call away and knows that your business is everything. Thank you and a HUGE pat on the back to Terry for being more than exceptional!
Andrew Parlett
Absolutely the best! Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, willing to educate. Love working with them.
Scott Brown
Reed Melis, Jason Paar and their team are an essential part of my team. I never have to wonder what my tax obligations will be, they are planned for. I never have to worry about the changing laws and requirements, my team at PMA keeps me informed and together we change the plans as needed. The entire PMA team is large enough to have the resources to serve Cardinal Plaza Shell and my family expertly and professionally…I give PMA my highest recommendation.
Barry Balaban
Paar Melis made accounting understandable. I’ve gotten an education, not just an accountant. You definitely need an automotive‐specific accountant. The way everything keeps changing around in the industry and the way every state keeps changing the tax rules, especially Connecticut where we are. Paar Melis can do it all without issue. Their services are well worth every penny we are paying, honestly they’re worth much more than we are paying them!
