What Customers Say…
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!

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.
