Aaronson Lavoie Streitfeld Diaz and Company is a professional firm with a very human approach. We are diligent yet accessible as well. We are not the stodgy accountants you may be used to or fear.
Michael Aaronson started Aaronson and Associates in Providence in 1983. Until the dawn of the 21st century, we were situated on the third floor of his Princeton Avenue residence. Michael’s background in managing and servicing non-profits (he was three-time national president of Accountants for the Public Interest) served the firm well and it quickly established a foothold in the community for a full array of tax and business services.
By the year 2000, the firm had grown substantially, Michael had taken on partners and we had to abandon his elegant residence. Space was short. As befitting the phrase ‘death and taxes’ we relocated to a former funeral home in the Edgewood section of Cranston. There are no ghosts, but the organ survives.
Today ALSD is a staff of fourteen, two floors and a full-service bookkeeping division (Balancing Act). Our clientele encompasses over 1000 individuals, for-profit and non-profit businesses, mostly in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. We can assist your organization with obtaining its tax-exempt status. We can help your non-profit prepare for its annual audit. If you don’t need an audit but your non-profit would like or need reviewed or compiled financial statements, we can do that too. If you’re an individual or a for-profit business, we can help minimize your taxes, incorporate your business and advise you on retirement and investments.
Our goal is to help you prosper, grow and stay compliant. Taxes, bookkeeping and related services can be stressful to clients. We cannot promise you will love the process but hope that quality and engaged service at a reasonable price will provide you with some peace of mind.
