I run my own small cleaning company and I had a lot of tax stuff that I had to do. Scott and Julie made the process much easier than I thought and the weight of the stress seemed to lifted off. Very friendly couple and would recommend to anyone who needs to do personal and businesstaxes.

I met with Scott about my new tax situation. I just moved to Portland and have a new company. He was very efficient and knowledgeable about taxes. He even pointed out additional deductions that I can take advantage of that my previous CPA didn't mention!
They are truly collaborative, working with you to provide only the services you need. I'm hiring CBS.

I had a free consultation with Scott this week and I feel completely prepared to keep my books and to be able to take advantage of every deduction come tax time! I look forward to working with Collaborative Business Solutions as my business grows.

Convenient, professional and friendly. Returned messages promptly. Julie and Scott teamed to prepare my taxes in 2014. I have confidence that the IRS and States will find no issues.
