Whether you have started a new business or a new job, gotten married, had your first child, or just feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the tax return process, I would be happy to advise you. As a CPA, I stay up to date on tax code changes so that you don’t have to. I offer year-round support for my clients and I am happy to answer your tax questions throughout the year.
