Hear From Our Clients


“I have been going to Lightheart, Sanders and Associates for the pass 7 years. Previously I was during my own taxes, what a mistake. Once I started letting Kevin prepare my taxes, I have saved tons of money. The staff has been wonderful and were always available to answer all my tax questions. Great job, guys…”
Anthony P.

“I wish I had met the team at Lightheart Sanders long before I did. After meeting Andrew Bodin, I was convinced he could provide the level of service I needed from an accountant. After reviewing my previous year’s taxes, they realized I was missing out on thousands of dollars in tax savings. I now trust this team with all of my accounting needs.”
Mark M.

“We have used Lightheart and Sanders for over 15 years and have extremely pleased with their services and professionalism. Their knowledge base on taxes and Federal year to year changes have saved us money as well. The BEST IN THE BUSINESS!”
Alfredia M.

Barber Schools

We know running a successful barber school is important to you. We also know the barber industry is unique despite often being lumped with other beauty industry schools. At Lightheart, Sanders and Associates, we keep a constant pulse on important industry financial news so you don’t have to. Don’t waste your time trying to understand lengthy tax codes or government regulations. We know government and accrediting agency regulations forwards and backward so you’ll never need to worry about losing your accreditation over a simple bookkeeping error.

Beauty Schools

Did you know there are approximately 138,000 accounting firms in the United States? Not every firm is qualified to perform all the necessary services for beauty schools, though. Only a handful meet requirements to perform certain government audits and even less have experience specific to beauty. That’s where we come in. We’ve worked with approximately 110 beauty schools nationwide. If you’re a beauty school owner looking to create more financial fitness for your business, we’ve got you covered.

Small Business

Your time should be spent running your business, not worrying about bookkeeping. We can make sure your books are accurate for tax returns and help you with financial information, budgeting, and planning. Don’t make costly mistakes or waste your valuable time trying to do it all yourself. One of your best assets is your circle of advisors. A progressive accounting firm should be at the top of your list. See how we can help your business.
