Ron and his fellow accountants do a wonderful job and make sure everything is done just right. As a customer who has two personal business operations as well as many other factors in financial tax prep and business advising/book keeping, I cannot recommend anyone more.

Ron has been doing our taxes for 20 plus years and has always been available for questions, timely with tax preparation, and a pleasure to do business with. A five star performer in my book.

I handed all of my documents and sat down with Kim and Ron for a couple of hours to discuss the way my business runs. They told me they would take a couple of days to get caught up with my receipts and accounts from January to May. June, July, August go by, we are still behind. Now we are in March of 2017 and we are STILL not caught up. I have given them all of the information they have asked for, answered all of their questions, checked in frequently, and still, my account is too confusing for them.
I run a Vacation Rental Management Business. If you can do accounting for a hotel, you can do accounting for my business. WHY cant they get caught up? Oh according to them its MY fault because I'm not organized enough. Isn't that what I went to them for? To help me stay caught up and organized? Did I not answer all of their questions and give them EVERY document they ever asked me for, RIGHT when they asked me for it? I DID! I would not recommend using them, let them screw up on a few more peoples accounts before testing them out. They obviously need more practice.

I've been with Ron for a little over a year now. Does my monthly book keeping and saves me all the headaches of maximizing tax deductions and tracking expenses. Highly recommend.
