We Want To Hear From You

What Clients Say?

Joaquin Burgos

Saying Doherty and Associates is the best Accounting firm in Delaware is an understatement. In my experience, after working with similar firms in 5 different countries, I can say they are like a Swiss Army knife, because they take care of all your needs and they do so with the highest quality. Any person from the firm who you come in contact with is committed to solving your problems so you can focus in your core activities. I absolutely recommend their services.

Cranston Heights Fire Co- Lynn Truitt

Thank you for the great service, advice, and hard work.

Element Design Group

Element Design Group switched to Doherty & Associates for payroll services after the start of fiscal year 2009 and the transition was very smooth. Their staff worked closely to reconcile our previous accounts and they provided a great level of customer service when the transition posed some challenges. Element has benefited from the change to Doherty and we look forward to the opportunity to utilize some of their complimentary services in the future.

Diana and Jim McNair

We are sincerely grateful for being a client of Doherty & Associates. The professional manner exhibited by your staff in the preparation of our tax work is truly appreciated. It was easy to recommend Doherty & Associates to our friends and a relief to know that they were put in good hands.

Shanita H.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Doherty & Associates. You could have simply used what we gave you, filed the taxes, and continued to collect your money. However, you truly empathized with my family and went above and beyond to save us money. For that, I owe Doherty & Associates a wealth of gratitude

Mike G.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you kindly for doing my taxes on such short notice. The professionalism at Doherty & Associates blew me away and left me speechless.

Once again, thank you for your kindness and making my day!

Kellie S.

I just wanted to drop Doherty & Associates a note to say “Thank You” for all of the hard work due to all that has been thrown at you lately. We really appreciate everything that you are doing!

Jim B - Wilmington Manor Fire Co.

I want to give some kudos to the team members of Doherty and Associates. They were very responsive to my needs and quickly guided me to a desirable conclusion. Many thanks to them for a job well don

Barbara A.

I just wanted to let Debbie know how much we appreciated her help with our taxes last year. My husband’s taxes were, unfortunately, in bad shape for the last few years- it seems that Turbotax and H&R Block just doesn’t seem to cut it. We received a total tax refund of over $20,000 because of Deb’s knowledge. Thank you Debbie! Incredible!

Anonymous Client

When she came to me asking for a recommendation for a trusted accounting firm, I had no doubt of referencing Doherty & Associates and told her about my fantastic experience with you.
