I had a very complicated tax situation this year and needed a expert I googled cpas in grand rapids and Doug was the first person to show up not only did he figure out my tax situation but he got the best outcome. I will never go to anyone but Doug to do my taxes again. I highly recommend Doug to everyone. He also responds very promptly to calls and email if I could give him more stars i would.

As for many people it has been a tough couple of years and I ended up with a complicated tax situation that I couldn't handle on my own. After doing some research over several days I decided to go with Doug because of all positives things I read. I am so glad I did! Fast, efficient, friendly, and so helpful! I can never thank him enough!

I am currently working with Doug through some stuff. Doug can get you where you need to be. He is a very relaxed guy and really easy to talk with. Especially coming from someone who knows nothing about taxes. His prices are very reasonable. Especially for what he got me. Always answered my questions and got back to me faster then I expected.

Mr. Zandstra is truly committed to working through tax issues, as he provided me with extremely valuable advise, relative to my specific case. He was able to quickly query my lien status through the IRS database during a very brief phone call and make a recommendation that will allow me to resolve my issue in a relative short period of time. I'm sure it would have taken me weeks, or months to figure out a viable strategy! What's best, is he provided this advice at no cost to me. I highly recommend Mr. Zanstra's services! - Alex Howard
