Report
Ela Erickson is very professional, easy to talk to, and a savvy CPA. As a new business owner, I'm very green with taxes and such. She toke the time to explain and offered to sit down with me and provide training to bring me up to speed. She has been a great asset to my business.

Report
Ela has been a calming effect correcting many mistakes from a previous tax person who did not keep up with the demands of our business within our tax laws, she has spent many hours with the IRS to bring us up to current status. Ela has always been timely in returning and answering text messages and phone calls with any concerns I've had. As a business owner I appreciate having Ela's professionalism and her top priority for her clients. In a stressful situation, I have felt like everything is going to work out!
