Kathy was rude and curt with not only me, but with her staff while I was waiting to see her. No one sent me the promised email with what I was to bring. Kathy lacks any compassion, patience or understanding. I would NOT recommend this place

Great place, good people. Mandy understood my concerns. I needed help with my daughters taxes, while my daughter was in college. Mandy understood how to process a large inheritance for my daughter, taxes for deceased father, and discounts from attending college. Fast, efficient and reasonable. Thank you.

They don't always follow up on what they say they will do. We were late on making a payment on our bill and we got nailed with a fee that can only be called exorbitant.

Sorry I can't say anything about the Accounting they do, but they were very nice about letting us look around the historical building they work in. I wanted to see it because it was the home lived in and built by my great-grandfather. Thanks!
