Working with Liyu was great. She made the process very easy, delivered each agreed upon step on time and according to our expectations, and was very responsive each time we had questions. We hope to continue working with her moving forward and highly recommend her to other seeking professional help with their tax needs.

I worked with Liyu this year 2026 for the first time for tax filing. After many years doing my own it was a nice change to get professional perspective on all things tax related. I will def use Liyu for future tax and any other paperworks. Thanks you Liyu for your quick responses, professionalism and education. It was a pleasure.

Liyu was so patient with us. We contacted her at a very chaotic time in our lives and we desperately needed help as we havenβt filed our taxes in four years! Though our communication was lacking due to personal things happening in our lives at the time, she remained patient and continue to check up on us constantly. She kept us on track and made the process very simple. She was more than accommodating. With everything going on in our lives, she was able to get everything situated. We definitely could not have asked for better service!
