We offer over 40 years of experience and the personal attention that a larger firm cannot. Our approach is professional and straight forward.

Personal attention means we look at your situation and take the time to get to know you. We ask lots of questions and then we listen. Additional deductions have often been discovered from asking questions that are seemingly unrelated to income taxes.

Our capabilities do not end with the preparation of complex income tax returns (not simple 1040s). We have represented clients in IRS audits through the Appellate Division since the mid-nineteen seventies.

We are constantly expanding and improving our knowledge through continuing professional courses and seminars. We subscribe to five different sources of tax news and developments.

“Mike has been advising me for almost 15 years now. I say advising because he does more than just complete my taxes. Through the years I’ve bought/sold numerous properties and had many financial ups and downs that Mike has assisted me with. I have recommended him to many many folks over the years and will not hesitate to continue doing so. He’s hilarious as well!”

Our approach is that we act as the part-time CFO for the business. We try to think as though we are the owner. We take a keen interest in not only minimizing costs and taxes but are also interested in advising business owners on ways to increase business.

We have programs that will not only assist in analyzing the financial results of the business but will benchmark the business concerning other businesses in the same industry.
