Why Sparks Business Owners Choose Hartmann & Associates
We've been in business since 1976 — started as a small in-home bookkeeping practice and grown into a full-service accounting firm with deep roots in Northern Nevada. That history isn't just a number. It means we've seen economic cycles, tax law overhauls, and the everyday pressures that small business owners in Sparks face year after year.
What sets us apart isn't just longevity. It's how we work. Every client engagement is handled by our in-house team — we never outsource your work to a third party. You get direct access to the people actually doing your accounting, and a team culture that's approachable and straightforward rather than stiff or transactional. We're BBB members with a strong local standing, and we're proud of the relationships we've built across Sparks, Reno, Carson City, Fernley, and Fallon.

Small business owners are the core of what we do. We work with sole proprietors, partnerships, LLCs, S-corps, and growing companies at every stage — from startups getting organized for the first time to established businesses looking for more strategic financial support.What's the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA, and which do I need?

A CPA provides higher-level services like tax preparation, tax planning, audits, and business advisory. Many Sparks small businesses benefit from both, and Hartmann & Associates offers the full range so you don't need to manage multiple providers.Can you help me if my books are already behind or disorganized?
