Report
I have been using Sharrie Wade and her team at Clark and Anderson for over 16 years. They truly are professionals and look out for your best interest. They are not only there at tax filing time, but will be there all year long should you have any questions. I have referred my family and friends and would recommend Clark & Anderson to anyone who wants to deal with a quality professional.
