Michael is a consummate tax professional. I've worked with a number of different tax professionals and he is by far the best. Michael is friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain tax concepts that often feel structured to be intentionally opaque and purposefully confusing for taxpayers. The world is full of awful communicators. Michael isn't one of them. He communicates quickly, clearly, and frequently, which I really appreciate. Best of all, he's used to working with businesses. If you're a freelancer, small business, or a creator who needs help with tax strategy, planning, and filing, Michael is your guy. Most people only think about filing taxes one month out of the year, but there are things you can and should be doing the other 11 months to better position yourself to pay less in personal and business taxes when they're due. Michael can definitely help you with this! Michael is security conscious, which you don't typically see among tax professionals. I really appreciated this about him. He uses a client portal that allows you to enable two-factor authentication to help keep your documents private and secure and WILL NOT send sensitive documents via email, which is a major security risk. Michael helped me work through a really annoying, unique business tax issue that required manual work. He dusted off his payroll software and ran the numbers for me by hand, which is incredible. He provided me with everything needed to submit to local, state, and federal agencies. When it looked like we weren't going to make the tax deadlines due to my unique business tax issue, he proactively filed an extension. This sounds basic, but with previous people, if I didn't specifically make the request they wouldn't file an extension. Crazy, right? If you're not yet convinced that Michael is the person to handle your taxes, then there's no hope for you. Just kidding. You should schedule some time to chat with him. Any concerns or fears you have will be put to rest. And when Michael has finished tidying up your taxes and that heavy weight lifts from your life, you'll totally get why this review was so long. read more

This is the 2nd year in a row working with Michael on my taxes and I couldn't be happier. I used TurboTax for years, but wanted an accountant when my tax return got more complex. I scheduled a meeting through his website, uploaded all of my documents to his secure portal, and had a virtual meeting to discuss everything. My return was submitted within a week. He is great to work with and I will be using him again next year. read more
