Borderline incompetent. Horrible communication. No attention to detail. A consistent pattern of "passing the buck" when trying to explain all his screw-ups. I WOULD NOT recommend hiring this man for your small business. We were extremely frustrated and disappointed with his unprofessional service and lack of knowledge.. Stay away!!

Fast and efficient tax returns. Tristan went over my tax situation with me and explored all the different options for me to minimize my penalty from not having had health insurance for the part of the past year (damn you crappy Health Connector website) and was not only able to keep me from having to pay any penalties on the months a did have coverage, he helped take care of all investment taxes (which I've always found to be a HUGE pain) within minutes.
Awesome accountant and will be using him for years to come. Fast, friendly and knowledgeable.
