Excellent communication with accounts, top notch work. I really appreciate how through their work is and confidential. I highly recommend Caro & Associates, LLC.


P. Steele - Tax Client

The team at Caro and Associates are tax wizards. I thought I was going to owe almost $20k and they got me a small refund. I've been working with them as my accounting and payroll team since I opened my small Healthcare practice, Novel Eyes. Jose came highly recommended by several unconnected people and I feel like I'm in very good hands.

Jose is wonderful! I recently started my own small business and he has been so helpful. He is knowledgeable, efficient and proactive. I feel very safe and secure knowing I have him as my accountant. He is always quick to respond to my questions and I enjoy working with him. He has made running my business a lot easier and stress free. He is a true team player. Thank you Jose!


Rene B. - Business Owner

Alba has trusted all the accounting needs to Jose and his firm which have contributed a high percentage on our success and expansion. Caro & Associates are highly recognized on their intelligence and skills of book keeping and extremely knowledgeable to locate and isolate each and every issue. We look forward to growing our business with their assistance. Highly recommended.


K. Sokoli - Painting Company
five stars

I have owned/operated multiple businesses in the Seattle area over the years. For years, I have hated AND stressed about taxes every year. Ever since a friend of mine recommended Caro & Associates things have changed. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate taxes, but I don’t stress about them anymore! I really can’t say enough about Jose Caro and Jack Lamb, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, 100% dependable. I recommend Caro & Associates for year end taxes, both business and personal, acquiring business licenses, business purchases, employee management and doing all the dirty work in business that none of us wants to do!

Jose Caro and his team do an exceptional job of communication and analysis. I worked directly with Juan Pardo on my 2019 personal and business taxes. He was exceedingly helpful and patient with me as we got all of the details in place. I highly recommend Jose and his team!


J Paul Fridenmaker - Tax Client
five stars

Jose is a very passionate and knowledgeable accountant. He is one of the few people I trust with my business, and with my clients. If you don't have an accountant and you're in the Lynnwood, Edmonds, Seattle, or Shoreline area, he is a must see. A good accountant is essential to having a successful business.
