It's that time of year again, when the holidays are finally over and I have to get into the habit of writing "2014" instead of "2013." Its also a time I look forward to days when I get to stay inside, drink hot tea, and watch people outside freezing their faces off. Unfortunately, for the next several weeks, my days inside will be spent gathering all my tax documentation for 2013. Ugh! Fortunately, I have an excellent accountant who knows how to help me avoid a great deal of tax season stress. For almost 20 years, I've been a lucky client of Kimi Brown Ellen. I say lucky because, the first year I hired her, I handed her a box of torn, disorganized receipts and told her to have at it (I'd never used an accountant before). She put my puzzle together and, along with my expertly completed tax return, she gave me gentle explanation of how most clients try to organize their documentation before giving it to an accountant. I learned my lesson and, in spite of that first year, Kimi has stuck by me and has agreed to do my ever-more-complicated tax returns year after year (I'm much more organized now!). She's even done the taxes of my past two boyfriends! Kimi and the other experts at BB&A are tax rockstars who work hard to keep up with the latest changes and updates in tax laws. I contact Kimi at least twice a year with questions and she always gets back to me within a day or two. I rely on her expertise and I've never been sorry. Each year I send my tax documentation to BB&A, and each year BB&A quickly completes my tax returns and sends me a detailed accounting of all my income, deductions, etc. in a neatly formatted packet. BB&A finds me the most tax savings as is prudently possible and, if I need it, I know they'll have my back. I can rely on their expertise, as well as my meticulously prepared tax returns. As icing on the cake, Kimi and the other professionals at BB&A have always treated me with respect, even though I'm one of their smaller clients. I feel very lucky to have BB&A in my corner, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing tax assistance, no matter what your needs. read more

I have been a customer for over 10 years. I have in the Armed Forces and my employment can at times caused frustrations when dealing with taxes, state to state laws and investing. Kimi Ellen and her partners provide excellent service and make it extremely easy to work with them as well as satisfy my needs. The is extremely important as I do not reside in the Midwest.

I have been using Benford Brown and Associates, LLC for over 5 years. I am surprised they have chosen to keep me as a customer for all this time. (I have a history of getting my tax info to them very last minute.) Thankfully, they have never told me they couldn't get it done. In this day and age of electronic communication, BB&A have been magnificent. My preference is to handle most of my communication via e-mail and Kimi always responds and does so in a timely fashion. On the few occasions when I needed to meet with Kimi in person, she was always very pleasant and helpful. read more
