CLIENT PORTAL

And now a word from our clients.

I’ve been working with the Sand Creek Company for over a year now with 3 different businesses that I own and a non-profit that I volunteer for. Matt has been prompt, professional and patient while working through particulars that have been overlooked in the past. I highly recommend their services.

There is a lot to worry about when starting and running a new business, but thanks to Matt, I don't have to worry about my books or state and federal requirements. It is a HUGE relief to have that off my plate so I can focus on getting new customers through the door. His expertise extends past accounting, and I consider him to be an adviser for our music school.

Matthew Blackburn, CPA

Matthew Blackburn, CPA, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in English, and from the University of Colorado at Denver with an MS in Accounting. (In other words, you can rely on Matt for clear, layman-friendly explanations of the most esoteric tax concepts.) Matt’s career has included stints at the global public accounting firm Ernst & Young, as well as US West, Comcast, and the City and County of Denver. These diverse environments deepened his understanding of best accounting practices for both the private and public sectors.

Over the years, Matt discovered that his heart lay in providing personalized service to individuals and small businesses and non-profits. That’s why he started The Sand Creek Company in 2013. A resident and unabashed fan of Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, Matt is often found out and about with his wife and daughters, enjoying the pool, the parks, biking or walking his dog, a Chihuahua mix named Sugar.

Matt is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Colorado Society of Certified Public Accountants (COCPA).

At Sand Creek, our goal is to deliver an exceptional experience by engaging with clients at a personal level, understanding their financial goals, and effectively communicating the options, opportunities, and risks associated with their financial decisions. As whole-hearted advocates of our clients’ success, we maintain a mindset of independence, free of any influence which would put our own interests ahead of theirs. We always fully disclose our fees before accepting any engagement.

We also strive to anticipate and fulfill our clients’ needs and expectations at every stage of service, and to act as guardians against unforeseen adverse outcomes. We strive to educate and enlighten clients with the best, most relevant information available, to help them make important decisions about their financial futures.

Giving back to the community we love.

At Sand Creek, we’re very grateful to live where we do, and eager to give back to the Northeast Denver community. We’re pleased to contribute our time and financial expertise to these very worthwhile organizations.
