I had the privilege of working with Tom, an exceptional tax accountant who truly went above and beyond. He not only helped me file past due taxes, but also provided invaluable advice on how to optimize my finances for both my business and personal life. His expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. I can't thank him enough for his outstanding service and guidance. If you're looking for a tax accountant who genuinely cares about your financial well-being, look no further. I highly recommend Tom’s services!

Great people here, I called about a tax situation that I was dealing with. Tom was upfront with me from the start that his fees would outweigh the amount of money I was trying to recover from the IRS. And even though he was very busy with the current tax year he gave me a free 1/2 consultation out of the kindness of his heart. Tom is very good at what he does and I would highly recommend him.

Tom did a phenomenal job helping us with our taxes. We have a farming business, and Tom took the time to teach us a lot of things we didn’t know, which helped us to improve our record keeping for the future. He is responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. It’s obvious that he has a passion for the profession and for his clients. We will definitely be recommending Tom to friends/family and look forward to working with him in the future!
