"I found Dope CPA (Summer Thorn) through a friend in the industry. After struggling to find a CPA that actually knew what they were talking about, and not getting charged crazy prices for no results, we are lucky to find Dope CPA!! Summer and her partners are very helpful, clear with direction and great in communication. Accounting is a difficult aspect of our complex industry, and Dope CPA has taken that burden off our shoulders with ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the industry."

In addition to being skilled in accounting and finance, Summer is a fantastic leader who has a gift for teaching and inspiring those around her.

CLARA K.
"I had the pleasure of working with Summer for a couple of months on an audit engagement at EY. As a new staff working with Summer, she was supportive in answering my questions/concerns and providing guidance on audit procedures. Her previous experience in banking and accounting was valuable to the audit. Summer has a strong work ethic and had new ideas on how to efficiently complete the audit. I learned a lot from Summer and am looking forward to seeing her business grow under her vision and leadership."
LU W.
"Summer's leadership, agility and project management skills were a great inspiration to me during her time as my senior on an audit engagement. She always has creative and exciting ideas to improve project management and cheered up the team with her humor and positive attitude. Summer was always there when I needed guidance on audit procedures when I just wanted to share the ups and downs of the workday. Despite the complexity of the areas we worked on, Summer tackled the challenges well and the team could always count on her."
Imagine one year from now...the days of worrying about revenue are long behind you, you run the business of your dreams and live the lifestyle you never thought possible.
