Mitch Fisher
I’ve worked with many advisors and consultants over the years and CAPATA has stood out. Their loyalty while we built our business from nothing shows their ability to recognize potential, to have a vision for the future, and to serve as a guide during growth. People like this are rare—and that’s why we’ve remained faithful with Kevin and the rest of the CAPATA team.
Dale Patridge
Gary Capata is not only honest but a brilliant tax strategist with the client's interest as a priority to his time. I have been with CAPATA since 1980 and have been totally satisfied.

Jennifer King
Have worked with Gary Capata and his team for several years. I don't have extensive comparisons to other CPA firms, but they are always responsive to emails and phone calls. There isn't a sense that they are bothered with questions and requests.
