Report
Alex showed true professionalism during the tax season by preparing S-Corp and Personal taxes for me. I was late on filing and he got them done within a week, in an organized manner. He explained thoroughly each page and why. Also was patient with me as I had lots of questions. I recommend Alex as him and his father come with lots of knowledge.
