Here's our founder Curtis talking about what we do (and how we do it).
FAQs
Arcus (pronounced 'ahr-kus') is Latin for arch or bow. During our rebranding, we sought a name that would endure and stand out from other accounting and tax firms—because we know we are different. If you look at the “A” in our logo you’ll see two shapes: a sideways heart and an arch. **We lead with heart and we’re the supporting structure behind your business. **
The image we wanted to convey is of a strong Roman-arch bridge, one that symbolizes the partnership and connection we have with our clients. Constructing a bridge is a significant endeavor of time, skill and resources. The outcome? Something that stands strong, for many years to come, and helps you get from one place to another.
We love working with family-owned businesses in Georgia, especially those focusing on making their customers happy and aiming for growth.
Our typical clients are in their 30s to 40s, with annual revenues between $500,000 and $5 million, and they usually have a small to medium-sized team. They’re skilled professionals, reliable, and dedicated to building a secure life for their families but often need more financial management and planning time.
Please note: Unfortunately, we do not offer tax compliance-only engagements, you must be in a monthly agreement with us to provide tax preparation services. However, we have great partners we can refer you to if you need compliance services ( like tax preparation only, payroll services etc.).
Family-owned businesses choose us because we clearly care. That’s it. Yes, we’re in the business of numbers, but we’ll never make our clients feel like one. Our hands-on approach, coupled with our deep understanding of the challenges they face, makes us the ideal partner for navigating the complexities of business ownership and achieving sustainable growth.
And, like our clients, our founder has a family and a business - the two things he cherishes most deeply.
We’ll never lead you into strange or risky tax situations just to save a buck. We’re here to dispel any fear you may have and we stand behind our work. If you’re audited, we have professional partners who specialize in the IRS. We will have your back every step of the way.
By working with us, you can focus on leading your business while we handle the regulatory complexities and develop strategies to optimize your tax situation.
- Tax compliance
- Out-of-date financial information
