Our Origin Story

Built by Matt Bontrager, CPA, PFS

Matt Bontrager founded TrueBooks CPA after seeing how often business owners, real estate investors, and high-income clients missed meaningful tax planning opportunities simply because they did not have the right financial guidance at the right time.

Many clients were receiving tax preparation, but not proactive strategy. They had returns filed, but not enough clarity. They had books, but not always financial visibility. They had CPAs, but not always a year-round advisory partner.

“TrueBooks CPA was built to close that gap.”

The firm brings together tax planning, tax preparation, accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, and real estate tax advisory into one coordinated relationship. The goal is simple: help clients make better tax decisions before the year is already over.
