Report
I have relied on Houlihan for years to help me with my taxes. Like most Americans, it is impossible to keep up the new tax laws, so I depend on Houlihan for help. They are professional, timely and affordable. One of their brilliant CPAs (Janice) has been amazing to work with. She is an honest, tireless researcher on tax laws, so you know your taxes are done to perfection. I would recommend Houlihan (and Janice) to anyone!
