Black quotation marks.
I’ve been a client of Derks Financial for several years now and I couldn’t be happier. The personal care, transparency, genuineness in helping others grow their wealth, and money growth are only a handful of the reasons why I will continue to rely on and trust them with my money.

Matt Leigh

This is the second year that I've used Derks Financial for my business and personal taxes. Ryan, Morgan & Julie have been very professional, and I highly recommend them to anyone. I'm continually tardy with my returns, and they're more than patient and understanding to accommodate me & my family. I look forward to remaining with them into the future.

Joseph McConnell

Derks Financial truly came to our rescue. After another CPA firm ghosted us in the middle of tax season, their team stepped in, finished our taxes, cleaned up our bookkeeping, set up payroll, and continues to be available whenever we have questions. They take the time to educate us, explain our options, and help us save on taxes. Hands down the best financial, tax, and accounting team in Kansas City.

Nina Skaggs

Thanks to Derks Financial, Tax & Accounting for keeping me updated throughout the tax process, providing me with monthly accounting statements, and delivering excellent customer service. I trust them with all my accounting and tax needs!

Lauren Marks

I have really appreciated the discussion of how I would like to handle my money. The ability to decide if I’m comfortable with taking risks for the opportunity to make more money, or if I’m more comfortable with playing it safe and having a steady trajectory. I have full confidence in Derks Financial, and really appreciate the honest communication and updates provided. Thank you!
