I found Laura and her business AR2i on Thumbtack after my former tax preparer closed down business. I was hesitant at first because I was looking for a local business and she wasn't local to me and everything would be done remotely. But decided after speaking with Laura to work with her and so glad I did! Working remotely was fine and using the secured software was seamless the entire process. Laura is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. I look forward to working with her for many years to come.

AR2i Business Solutions's reply
