From Google

I highly recommend FIRM1040 with Cherie and her team. They expertly provided advice, accounting support, and income tax filing despite the many delays on my side. The team made the process easy and straightforward. If you are looking to remove the heavy lifting from your annual return process, you have to check them out.

I had a great experience working with Cherie on my taxes. Her team stayed on top of everything and kept me updated with followups and clear communication the whole time. From the first 15 minute call to the final result, the whole process was smooth and professional. My tax situation was a bit complicated, but Cherie was honest from the beginning and guided me through everything. She knew what she was doing and handled it flawlessly and saved me a lot of money. I’m really glad I found this firm to help with my taxes and would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again Cherie for wonderful experience.

Absolutely happy that I chose FIRM1040 to do my taxes!! Her knowledge and awareness of the tax code was of tremendous value. I had a lot going on with different businesses and personal taxes and Cherie quickly put me at ease. We even went back and corrected my past tax returns. Everything went smoothly and after tax season I would like to employ the company as my LLC’s accountant.

Cherie was super helpful, guiding me through my federal and state taxes, which were very complicated this year! She was extremely punctual, patient, diligent, and kind! Highly recommend her for any accounting services you may need.
