My understanding of small business challenges runs deep—I grew up watching my parents struggle with poor financial advice that cost them dearly. Early in my career, I learned my family's experience wasn't unique—many business owners face inadequate guidance or pay unnecessary taxes. That's why I became an Enrolled Agent and founded William Costley LLC with a commitment: every client receives Fortune 500-level strategic thinking and attention. My approach is simple: listen first, strategize second, execute with precision. I've helped clients save tens of thousands in taxes and build wealth they never thought possible. But what I'm most proud of is the trust they place in me—not just with their numbers, but with their family's future.

I'm not just your accountant; I'm your neighbor. My wife Christi and I have called North Georgia home for years. We chose to raise our family here because we believe in this community. I shop at your stores, my kids go to school with yours, and I understand the unique challenges of local business ownership. Whether it's helping a restaurant owner understand tax credits, guiding a construction company through restructuring, or being available when the IRS sends that scary letter, I'm here because this is home. When you work with me, you're getting a neighbor who genuinely cares about your success and understands what it takes to run a business today.
