Stephen DiChiara attained his CPA certificate at the age of 23, which is the youngest you can earn one! DiChiara took over his father’s practice, and quickly expanded the business. In 1992, he purchased the former Central Credit Union building on Smith Street in North Providence.

The firm has four employees that quickly respond to clients’ questions because they know that communication is key. DiChiara states that “It is the best practice to contact your CPA before making any significant business decisions. A lot of my business clients are the sole decision makers, so it makes sense for them to have someone they trust to bounce ideas off of.” At the end of the day, his “greatest joy in this business is helping clients grow and become successful.” DiChiara believes that this quality makes his firm stand out from others.

When asked what he likes about working with IT Support RI, DiChiara responded, “The people! They are always patient and accommodating and whatever the issue is it gets resolved in a timely fashion.” He continues, “before I was with IT Support RI, I had a malware issue every year and experienced significant downtime. For the 4 years I’ve been with them, I haven’t had an issue. The peace of mind is well worth the monthly fee!”

If you’re looking for help with your personal or business taxes or want to review your financial goals, Stephen R. DiChiara CPA is ready to lend a hand! DiChiara encourages people to contact a CPA because “with the new tax laws in effect, it is more important than ever to assess whether changing your form of entity is the right choice. What may have been the right choice under the previous laws might not be correct today.”
