Our Firm Overview

In 1944, Thomas Saltmarsh, Harold Cleaveland and Charles Gund pooled their talents and modest resources to form a partnership for the practice of accounting. Their success was attributed to their guiding principles of honesty and integrity, accuracy and thoroughness, quality client service and most importantly, the belief that service to the community is an individual, as well as a corporate, responsibility.

Today, Saltmarsh offers a full range of professional services from accounting and taxation to consulting in many specializations - all based on the Firm’s mission statement and core values:

"Achieving Success by
Contributing to the Success of Others"

"Integrity and Honesty, Respect,
Creativity and Quality Service"
