Simple & Convenient

I am a licensed CPA in the state of North Carolina (#39971). I have over fifteen years of experience in various fields of accounting, including corporate, public, private, and government. I also have experience in the field of banking and finance. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Indiana Wesleyan University.

 

 

I decided to start Rutledge CPA , PLLC after ten years in the accounting and finance industries.  My mission is to offer simple, honest, and personable accounting and tax services.  I am drawn to the small business and entrepreneurial spirit of this area. I also enjoy working with individuals on financial, tax, and strategic planning needs.  I offer accounting, payroll, tax, and consulting services for both businesses and individuals.
