Report
I have witnessed Greg Dowell grow Bass, Solomon & Dowell from a relatively small accounting firm 20 years ago to a medium sized accounting firm that has become an integral part of our community. Greg is knowledgeable about income taxes and tax planning. He provides a very practical approach to his clients in guiding them to success. He is very truthful and trustworthy and fair. I have been fortunate to have been able to work with him for the benefit of our mutual clients over the past two decades.
