I have been successfully working with Susan Mairo at Highpoint Advisory services for over 12 years. She has proven to be highly professional and competent. I am very confident in her knowledge and experience. She handles my company's corporate taxes as well as my personal taxes. Recently she suggested that I apply for the PPP loan for my business, which was suffering during the Covid-19 pandemic. She guided me every step of the way. I got approved within 3 days. She was enormously helpful. Thank you Susan!
