I can’t even begin to sing Leanie’s praises!!! I contacted her in regard to completing my taxes less than a week before the deadline. She immediately got to work!!! She explained everything in great detail, allowed me to call her and ask her every single question that came to my mind. She worked on mine and my husband’s taxes, presented us with several options, gave us her honest opinion on what would work best for us, and made it happen!!! I can’t thank her enough, and will be utilizing her services in the next few weeks!!!!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Leanie for the first time this year to do our taxes. Because our regular accountant flaked out on us and was unresponsive to questions and follow up procedures this year, we were left to find another tax expert in a short amount of time. From the first time we corresponded via email with Leanie, she was punctual and suggested a time for us to chat that worked for both of our schedules. Upon speaking with her, I felt we had been working together for years. She was very nice, personable and knowledgeable. Because our situation was a little complex, she understood what needed to be done for both of us. She was accessible and in constant contact with us and available to answer any questions we had. She even helped our son correct an error on his taxes he submitted after doing his own prior. Overall, Leanie completed our taxes very quickly and efficiently. I have already referred her to friends that are still looking to file. Due to our positive experience, we are looking forward to working with Leanie again in the future and will continue to refer Opal 7 Accounting Services to others.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It truly means the world to me that you and your husband had such a positive experience working with me—especially during a time when you needed support quickly and reliably.
I'm so glad I could step in and help make things smooth and stress-free for you both (and your son too!). It's always my goal to provide not only accurate service, but a sense of trust, ease, and care throughout the process so hearing your feedback truly affirms why I do what I do.
Your referrals and support are the highest compliment, and I’m genuinely grateful. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I had a great experience working with Opal 7 Accounting Services for my tax preparation. They were super reliable, very helpful, and made the whole process so much less stressful. I usually get anxious about taxes, but they explained everything clearly and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. They were also super patient with me! Highly recommend!
