Our Staff

Our experienced staff is one of the keys to our success.  The accountants and administrative personnel are part of our committed team, dedicated to the principle of timely superior services to our clients.  Our staff attends various professional seminars and presentations annually to maintain the necessary knowledge and skills in an ever-changing tax and business environment.  One of our accountants is an IRS Enrolled Agent, having successfully passed a rigorous exam, which qualifies her to represent clients before the IRS and State taxing authorities.

We also use the services of other outside professionals as needed, in matters such as business valuations and real estate cost segregation engagements.

Though our firm is considered small based on the number of staff, we are proud of the fact that we offer the high level services of many larger firms, but often more efficiently and competitively.
