But we realize that you probably want to know who you're investing in and how we can help you. So we caved and built this page anyway...
Come get to know us and we look forward to getting to know you!
we didn't even want an about page
the truth is...
where it all began...
Patton+Co started the same way so many other small businesses start: as a "little side-hustle".
It did not stay little for long though! Our business was founded January 2020 and within 3 years, we have served 500+ businesses and grown to a team of 15+ employees.
During that journey we have felt like a fish out of water more times than we can count. Who knew entrepreneurship demanded so much learning? But as a team we've come together and built a business that we're all very proud of and we're honored that we get to turn around and help you do the same!
we're right there with you
we love serving small businesses and clearly we're pretty great at growing them too. We know how to help small businesses thrive because

First and foremost, as a client or potential client you need to understand that this is a judgment-free zone!
We've had clients come to us so organized we wonder why they need us. We've had other clients come to us who haven't filed taxes in 20+ years and have shoeboxes (that is not a figure of speech, they literally have shoeboxes filled with receipts) that we get to dig through. And in all cases, we show up ready and excited to serve because that's just who we are!
So, whether you're feeling excited or scared or relieved, we honor those emotions and we're here to accept you with open arms!
First and foremost, as a client or potential client you need to understand that there is no judgment here!
We know having someone comb through your numbers and hear about your personal and business finances can sometimes feel like you're airing out your dirty laundry. And to some, maybe that's relieving but to others, that's probably scary as heck! Good news: whatever it means to you, we're here to help.
