Stephen was fantastic to work with! I showed up unorganized, and he was patient and knowledgeable. He completed my taxes quickly and got me a better deal than I thought I would get. Highly recommended!! Will use his services in the future.

Wow. So impressed with Stephen and glad I found him. I have always done my taxes myself (I consider myself pretty capable), but this year with the addition of the business I started, it finally got past what I could figure out. Stephen saved the day (and for a fraction for what other people were charging). I'd way rather pay a small amount for a tax expert in a small building who takes the time to work with you personally then a ton for a huge accounting firm that sees you as just another sale. I'll definitely be going back to him next year.

I've done my own taxes for years and met with Stephen about a specific tax question. He was able to quickly answer my questions and provide IRS references. He saved me hours of reading, not to mention reducing my anxiety. He was timely, friendly, and charged only for the time he spent on me, which was less than the going rate for professional tax advice. Wish I'd of found him years ago.

I really appreciated how quickly Stephen got back to me about helping me with my taxes. Stephen seemed to be very knowledgeable about all the changes with filing taxes for 2018.

Pricing is very reasonable. Once I know all of the information about your return, I will be able to give an accurate quote before I being working.

I would like to talk with the client at least once over the phone or meet at my office. Then, everything else can be completed via online or secure email.

24 hours of IRS approved continuing education every year.
