In 1994 Mark and Terri purchased Metro Accounting Services, a business started in the mid 1970s to provide basic bookkeeping and tax services, and incorporated the company. The business has continued to grow, and we now provide a broader range of tax, accounting and administrative services. In 2005 the name was changed to Deer Valley Accountants, LLC to more accurately reflect our current physical location. Today we are Deer Valley Accountants, Inc.

Mark has been in the accounting field since the mid 1970s and has a B.S. in Business Administration with options in Finance and Accounting. He has extensive experience in managing and reorganizing businesses - from the small "mom and pop" to large corporations. Terri's background is in office management, training clients to use the accounting software, and preparing payroll reports.

Although we are located in Peoria, Arizona, we serve clients in all states. Because we are a small firm, we maintain close and open relationships with each of our clients. Our objective is to provide our clients with every opportunity to minimize their taxes within the framework of the law.

Please call us at 623-362-3979 if you would like more information on our services or if you would like to schedule an appointment.
Consultations are complimentary.

Through the years, music has been used to raise the spirit and rest the mind. It has been used in ceremony and informality.

Science is now revealing our innate knowledge of the power of music. We are finding that certain kinds of music, if used properly, can stabilize the heart rate, increase oxygen saturation, lower blood pressure, and lessen the awareness of pain.

Live music at the bedside can be directed specifically for an individual patient's needs and desires with the end result of more patient comfort and satisfaction, and has been shown to result in shorter hospital stays.

Colleen received an Advanced Certification for Healthcare Music from the nationally recognized Clinical Musician's Training Program, and studied harp with several of the world's top instructors. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the Clinical Musicians Training Program and acts as a mentor for many of the program's students.

Since her certification, Colleen has been playing her harps at bedside in hospitals, hospices, and private homes for both patients and their families.

Bedside music is live music offered at the bedsides of inpatients, as an unobtrusive enhancement to the healing environment, offered by certified practitioners of bedside music. No solicitation of interaction or verbal therapy is made.

Did you know that the body has more than 600 muscles? Taking care of them is certainly important, and what is a more enjoyable and complete way to do so than by having a massage?

I have been a Massage Therapist for more than 11 years. I have such a great belief in the capability and benefits of massage that I would like to see people receive it regularly and not just as an occasional "treat." Therefore, I have very reasonable prices.

My goal is to help you improve your health through massage. Many regular clients report improvements - often mental and spiritual as well as physical - through the wonders of massage. Prepare to relax, enjoy, and experience life-changing results.

Virginia's House is an elegant home built in 1913 and is used today to host many types of functions. Our main business is weddings and receptions, however, we also love to accommodate all other kinds of events. Our parties have included small graduation ceremonies, bridal luncheons, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, baby showers, tea parties for all ages (the little girls get "special" treatment) and birthday parties. We will also host family gatherings after funeral or memorial services.

Located in historic downtown Glendale, the house has a wonderful history! Most recently, the home was featured on HGTV's Restore America as the Showcase house, giving a brief history and several "before/after" images of the home. What a truly remarkable experience!! More information on it's history can be found on our website under "About Virginia's House".

We love and cherish this home and want to share your special day. We hope you love it as much as we do.
