CPA & Accounting Services in Durham, NC
Fixed-fee CFO, controller, and business tax services for growing businesses in Durham and the Research Triangle. Senior-level expertise without the overhead.
Why Durham Businesses Choose Protea
Durham is home to some of the most ambitious businesses in North Carolina — from Research Triangle Park companies and Duke-affiliated ventures to construction firms, professional services, and fast-growing small businesses. They all share one problem: they've outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren't ready to hire a full-time CFO.
Protea delivers CFO-level financial leadership on a fixed monthly fee. Your financials close by Business Day 10, every month. And the CPA who knows your business is the one actually working on your books — not a junior staff member you've never met.
