We complete our taxes on our own on a annual basis. However this tax season was very different due to a few unexpected circumstances and multiple changes to the tax code. Rick agreed to meet with me and review our complex taxes due to our real estate and multiple businesses. He was very helpful in reviewing as well as suggesting a couple of important changes. Thank you for you knowledge and professionalism.
