About Us
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to bring our decades of practical experience and executive leadership in corporate tax and corporate finance to clients who are looking for expertise beyond the day-to-day activity of their corporate staff. We analyze available data and provide valuable solutions that can actually be executed by corporate staff. This is the key differentiating factor between Claritas Financial and other consulting groups embedded within the large accounting firms. Our team has had the valuable experience of having lived with the results of implemented consulting studies provided by the public accounting firms.
