Taxes Can Be Fun We Promise.

At The Swanson Group , we approach tax work with curiosity and collaboration.

We take pride in cleaning up messy situations, empowering small businesses, and uncovering opportunities others might miss.

As one of the most respected independent accounting and consulting firms in southern Maine, we've built our reputation as a modern, relationship-first practice. We prioritize proactive strategy over rote compliance work and our clients count on us to help them plan, grow, and succeed year after year.

Founded and led by a self-made woman entrepreneur, our firm brings together deep experience and fresh ideas. We're professional without being stiff, serious about results but flexible in how we achieve them and we actually enjoy what we do (yes, even in March).

• Stay sharp on changing tax laws and enjoy sharing your knowledge.
• Excel in a team-based, collaborative setting.
• Build lasting, trust-based relationships with clients.
