About Haigler CPA Group

What kind of firm this is

Haigler CPA Group, LLC is a Charleston tax and accounting practice, founded in 2023, working with small businesses, real estate investors and individuals. The office is on Wappoo Drive on James Island, a few minutes from downtown across the Wappoo Cut.

The focus on small business tax is deliberate rather than incidental. It follows from a background in corporate tax, real estate partnerships and high-net-worth individual work. The technical demands of small business work are not lower — entity structure, multi-state exposure, property and exits all show up — but the person on the other side of the table is the owner, making the decision and living with it.

Where we work

The office is in Charleston and we work with clients across the Lowcountry, including Mount Pleasant and Summerville. Documents move through the client portal and conversations happen by phone or in person, so being able to drop by is convenient rather than necessary.

Being local is not by itself a tax qualification. What it means in practice is that South Carolina returns are routine here, the Charleston rental market is familiar on a Schedule E, and you can meet the person doing the work without a flight being involved.

What you can expect us to be straight about

• Whether you need us. If your return is genuinely simple, we will say so rather than sell you a service.
• Whether we are the right firm. If your situation needs expertise this practice does not have, you will hear that at the first conversation, not after an engagement letter.
• What a thing will cost, in writing, before the work starts.
• What we cannot promise. No one can guarantee an outcome with a tax authority, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
• Where the boundary is. Legal drafting, investment management and insurance are separate professions, and we will work alongside whoever you use for them.
