Costello & Huddy Chartered

The CPA WebTrust Program was developed to meet two critical needs in the expanding online marketplace--consistent standards and consumer trust. Understanding these needs can help you understand why the CPA WebTrust Seal can add real value to a web site. As more and more companies tap into the enormous market that can be accessed easily and inexpensively through the world-wide web, it's become clear that there's a need for consistent standards for electronic commerce.Few consumers feel completely comfortable buying online from companies that only seem to exist somewhere "out there" in cyberspace.

The Web has captured the attention of businesses and consumers, causing the number and types of electronic transactions to grow rapidly. However, many feel that electronic commerce will not reach its full potential until concerns about business practices, integrity, and information protection are addressed.

Before entering public accounting, Susan Huddy, CPA held various positions in the private sector, including Controller, CFO and V.P. of Finance for several regional investment and real estate firms. She decided to start her own public accounting firm nearly ten years before founding CHC, using her expertise to help small business owners become more profitable, and to help them understand their businesses better.

Before forming CHC, Donna Costello, CPA, worked in public accounting for nearly twenty years, nearly all of them as an owner of her own firm. Her philosophy is to give the best personal service possible, while delivering value and excellence. Many of her clients have been with her from the first day she opened the doors to her own firm.
