Lenny has been my account for many years. He is extremely professional, quick and makes sure I get the best tax return possible each year. He now does my daughters returns as well. Lenny makes the experience very easy and simple with just scanning the information to him and usually within a day or two its all done. I am very comfortable with Lenny and Minsky & Cottone. So, Thank you, Thank you for another years returns done!

Go somewhere else for your taxes. Lazy and careless management that will cost you more time, money, and stress than saved.
