This background puts us in a unique position to help our small business clients while understanding the challenges that they face owning a small business. We also understand the need for financial and retirement planning and business succession planning. Our individual tax clients benefit from our tax knowledge and expertise cultivated over 20+ years preparing tax returns for individuals.  We have seen a lot along the way that helps us understand and apply current tax law to the benefit of our clients as well as staying abreast of the ever changing tax code.
