Report
I have used Ray and his staff for many years and each one of them exhibits a high level of professionalism. I have multiple accounts and hold assets in different states and every year they make my taxes easy and efficient. I couldn't ask for a better CPA. Kaitlyn is his administrative assistant and always has a smile on her face. Jason does all of my bookkeeping work. Fantastic company with highly trained professionals. I highly recommend doing your taxes with them.

Report
Critical: Professionalism, Quality I have unfortunately experienced one of their employees, Kaitlyn Biljum. She is completely unprofessional, rude, arrogant and aggressive. I would never recommend a company that employs such a nasty person. They should seriously reconsider her employment. I would be embarrassed to hire someone with so many negative traits!
