Whittaker & Saucier, CPAs, PA

Sophisticated Accounting. Small-Town Service. Welcome to Whittaker & Saucier. A full-scale CPA firm in Venice, Florida. We offer our clients a traditional complement of accounting services, plus a number of unique services they can’t find anywhere else such as eBookkeeper, our Quickbooks based outsource accounting system. We believe that our clients’ time is as important as ours, so we deliver a professional, accurate product on time, every time. To give our clients the utmost assurance of that accuracy, we also have respected colleagues periodically review our work as part of a prestigious peer-review process.

Most importantly, we want our clients to know that there are real people standing behind our work—real people who are only a phone call away, and who are always available to listen to questions and concerns. While we’re completely fluent in the tax code, we take care to explain your financial picture to you in plain English, in terms you can understand. At Whittaker & Saucier, our goal is to place our clients on solid financial footing whether they’re individuals or large corporations, or anything in between.

As long-time Venice residents, we are active members in our community, from Englewood to Bradenton and beyond. We view our accounting clients as part of our professional family and treat them accordingly—and we hope you’ll consider joining us for all your accounting needs.
