Horrible service. Unresponsive to emails. Numerous errors on taxes two years in a row. Spelled my childrens names wrong on my return. Even misspelled the city. Stay away

I switched over to this firm to help me untangle a giant mess. What a difference ... Im so happy to be able to leave it up to professionals and not have to stay on top of everything on my own anymore. Receptionists and staff go above and beyond. A+ and 2 thumbs up!
