Get the Numbers Right.
I care about the details. Careful review, thoughtful questions, and doing the work properly are central to how I approach accounting.
A little about the person behind the practice
The Details Are Kind of My Thing.
A love for getting the numbers right, an appreciation for a well-organized spreadsheet, and a belief that good communication makes all the difference.

Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Dristi.
CPA, spreadsheet enthusiast, and someone who genuinely appreciates a clear process.
I'm Dristi Patel, a North Carolina-licensed CPA and the founder of Dristi Patel CPA, PLLC. I graduated from North Carolina State University in 2021, studying Accounting and Business Administration, and spent the next four years working in IT audit at a Big Four accounting firm.
That experience taught me to look closely at the details, ask thoughtful questions, and understand how different pieces of information fit together. It also reinforced something I value just as much as accuracy: clear, consistent communication.
As I moved into tax and accounting, I wanted to bring that same organized, detail-focused approach to work that's more directly connected to individuals and small businesses.
I'm a big believer that clients should feel comfortable asking questions, know what to expect, and understand what's happening along the way. Numbers matter, but so do the people behind them.
“I firmly believe that communication is the foundation of a successful working relationship.”
What guides my work
It's the Little Things. And the Important Things.
Not a list of buzzwords. Just the principles I try to bring to every engagement.
Keep Things in Order.
There's something satisfying about a process that makes sense. I value clear steps, organized information, and fewer unnecessary surprises.
Let's Actually Talk.
Questions are welcome. I believe in explaining things clearly, being upfront about expectations, and keeping clients in the loop.
