Tax preparation for Colorado Springs businesses and families.
A family-led CPA firm serving the north side of Colorado Springs and the greater Front Range — moving to Interquest in June 2026. Expert individual and business tax preparation, plus advisory, formation, and S-Corp election services.
Our Story
A Colorado Springs firm
built on relationships.
Lockhart & Company — formerly RS Powell — has proudly served the Colorado Springs community since its founding on June 26, 1986. What began as Rick Powell's vision has grown into a trusted, family-led firm.
Today, the firm is led by dual-CPAs Megan and Brandon Lockhart, focused on supporting entrepreneurs and individuals through expert tax preparation and personalized advisory services.
Our enduring commitment to integrity, respect, and excellence continues to shape our work — and define our purpose.
Our Values
The principles that guide every return.
Integrity
Whether preparing a complex S-Corp return or filing an individual 1040, we do what's right — every time. Honesty, accountability, and transparent tax planning.
Respect
Guided by the Golden Rule, we treat every client's time, data, and beliefs with the utmost respect. Secure portals, prompt callbacks, lasting relationships.
Excellence
Cutting-edge tax software, bank-secure portals, and an extensive review process deliver meticulous returns that withstand IRS scrutiny.
Bread & Butter
Tax preparation —
done right.
Individual Tax Preparation
Personal 1040 returns prepared with precision. Federal, one state, e-filing, and direct deposit included — every return reviewed before filing.
Business Tax Preparation
Comprehensive financial statement analysis and 1065, 1120, and 1120-S returns for LLCs, S-Corps, partnerships, and C-Corps.
Industries We Serve
Specialized expertise for the
businesses we know best.
Industry-specific knowledge in healthcare, legal, and multi-state operations — the kind of nuance a generalist accountant often misses.
By the Numbers
A track record
that speaks for itself.
Client Success
Real partnerships, real results.
