One of Miami’s leading CPA firms, with a network of professionals, businesses and international clients
Nelson & Associates opened its doors in Doral in October 2005. Since then the firm has grown into a trusted advisor for families, small businesses, multinational companies, attorneys and governmental agencies.
You get the personal attention of a small firm, where your CPA knows your name and your story, together with the technical depth usually found at much larger firms: international tax, forensic accounting, audits and IRS representation under one roof.
