I am a self employed. I am a procrastinator. Having said this, I called July 15th 2020 the day taxes were due, with no appointment, panicked! My normal tax man retired this year and I waited until the last minute to decide where I could trust my scrambled tax information! I work in a Salon full of girls that had put their trust in full with this Association! Then I called, they were happy to invite me in during these "uncertain times"!

I struggle with anxiety, so you could imagine my nerves! They made me feel relaxed and confident that we could solve all my tax questions! I will definitely be back for year to come! I am very happy I was referred to your Association!

Great tax advice and preparation. I've been a customer for at least 10 years, and wouldn't think of going elsewhere.

My wife and I have used them for almost 20 years. Whitney (Stith) is amazing! He always takes the time and we ever had an issue with anyone else in his firm, he handled it for us.

I contacted Whitney Stith at the recommendation of a friend and neighbor who has income/expenses from several family farming operations, as well as a regular job and has been a client for years. I figured if they could handle his diverse situation, then they would be a good fit for my small, home-based business. I have been very pleased so far. Whitney and his staff have always been helpful and available to answer my sometimes numerous questions regarding my accounting needs. I would recommend them.
