Testimonials


I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mike for several years as a personal and business client as well as a referral partner.  Mike is amazing for several reasons including his dependability, responsiveness, flexibility, knowledge and personality.  As great as he is at tax preparation and financial work, what separates Mike from the rest, in my opinion, is the ability to communicate information to me and those I refer to him in a way that is understandable and easy to act on, which is extremely rare for someone in his field.

When I first met Mike, it was for our personal taxes.  Since then, he has helped us with the start-up of our business and has been not only our accountant but considered a member of our team.  He is very personable while his attention to detail and listening skills are critical to understanding our needs when making decisions.  One very important part of our business is to respond and react quickly when needed.  Mike demonstrates the flexibility and response that is necessary in today’s technologically advanced business environment.  His insights have helped us grow our business while his knowledge of tax laws and regulations have saved us money time and time again.  I would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone who struggles with or needs help with their accounting.

I acquired my business in December 2015.  Mike handled all the due diligence including but not limited to meeting with previous ownership, analyzing financial statements and tax returns, determining appropriate legal structure and purchase price allocation, partnering with my attorney to ensure a smooth transition and most important of all, maintaining a direct open line of communication with me throughout the entire process.  I appreciate what Mike brings to the table and continue to utilize his valuable advisory services not only on financial but a variety of operational matters as well.

We have entrusted Mike with our personal taxes as well as solid financial advice for several years.  As a Corporate Accountant myself, I understand the value of his specialty and the guaranteed quality of work.  He has consistently provided top notch customer service on and off tax season.  The effective communication of details and overall transparency are what keeps us coming back year after year.  We appreciate his expertise and are constantly recommending him to friends and family.

My husband and I have used Mike to do our taxes for the past two years now and he was also instrumental in helping me to properly set-up my LLC last year.  With my new business and my husband’s work situation changing, Mike not only helped us file our taxes correctly but also saved us money with some tax breaks and deductions of which we were unaware!  Not only were his services to us very affordable but the convenience of having him come to our home couldn’t be beat.  He was very good at explaining everything to us thoroughly and in layman’s terms before submitting anything.  Taxes can be very stressful and intimidating but Mike’s warm demeanor and willingness to take as much time with us as needed immediately set us at ease.  I have and will continue to highly recommend Mike to my friends and colleagues.
