Heart of a Teacher!

Spent so much time with me explaining why I owed what I owed and helped me find
ways to reduce my tax burden next year. Very much the heart of a teacher!

Organized and Efficient

Our taxes got more complicated in 2023 when I started my own business, and we
both felt overwhelmed thinking about navigating filing our annual taxes. Ryan was incredibly
knowledgeable, communicative, transparent, and helpful. He met with us as opposed to only
communicating via email and talked us through everything. The online portal made providing
him with the requisite documentation easy and efficient, and the checklist of documents needed
helped us stay organized. He reviewed the final tax return with us to ensure we understood
what was documented and that it was all accurate prior to submission. He answered all of our
questions in a timely manner. He even advised me on how much to pay for my estimated
quarterly taxes for 2024 and reviewed the timeline of those payments with me. We completely
trust Ryan’s knowledge and experience in this arena, and we recommend him to any friend or
colleague looking for a tax accountant! We look forward to continuing our professional
relationship with him.
