Partners

Sparkmon & Associates, CPAs’ four partners bring more than 100 years of combined accounting experience to the firm. The majority of that experience has focused on working with McDonald’s owner/operators and their specific needs. Our partners have a depth of education and expertise, allowing them to offer solutions and strategies that work best in each unique situation. Offering this individualized service provides our clients with the peace of mind to know we are taking care of their financial and accounting needs so they can focus on what will bring them the highest return — successfully running the operations in their restaurants.

You’re doing a great job for me. You and your people have saved my bacon several times. Being that we operate from home, and don’t have an outside office with staff, we rely on your company to make sure we don’t mess up too much. Keep up the good work.
