Death and taxes. The only two things that are inevitable…read more While the prospect of both of them are unpleasant, I just experienced a local business that makes the tax process much more bearable. They are a small firm that can provide individual attention, something you will never get from H & R Block (and the like). My taxes are challenging, to say the least. I am an independent contractor, but "on the books" with one client, own property, have deductions, etc. Plus I went to Art School, so numbers just aren't my thing. Ha. Combined with the fact that the tax laws change yearly, who can keep up with that unless it is your business to do so? Well Fleck & Uhlich keeps up with all of that, no worries. From my initial consultation, when I sat down with Barbara and went over all my concerns, I received great customer service. All of my emails and phone calls were returned promptly, and my questions were answered. She even suggested that I open a SEP IRA, in addition to my Roth IRA, to help with deductions and to secure my retirement. I was happy to do just that, and wondered why my former tax preparer had never suggested this to me. If you need help dealing with your taxes, I suggest you give Fleck & Uhlich a try. I found their services to be professional, efficient, and friendly.

Del Real Tax Group

I am so happy I contacted Maribel at Del Real Tax Group for help getting my business incorporated…read more Previous to now, I have always worked as an employee under a W-2 tax structure, and transitioning into my own free-lancing business was intimidating to say the least. I've met with Maribel twice now and I already feel so much more informed and confident, and I know that I am in good hands. She also teaches me a ton, each session, and is super patient with my novice questions. I am so impressed with her balance of knowledge, efficiency, professionalism, and friendliness. She's direct and doesn't waste time - getting to the important bits and providing extra information for you to take home when it's relevant. Not to mention already finding me huge savings in my taxes compared to what I estimated doing it myself. I highly, highly recommend Del Real Tax Group.

We own a business and I email her a lot of questions. She never seems bothered by them and always sends me the response and a resource to support her recommendation. We've save a lot of money and headache in hiring Ana.

We started the process by going to their local headquarters and sampling the different styles. Sam and Kelly were very knowledgeable about all the products and made great recommendations. They provided us with a deluxe coffee bean grinder, a two-station coffee maker, and a two-station espresso machine. We have been open for almost a year now and we have never had any problems with their equipment or coffee products. They do have an emergency technician on call to stop by immediately if we ever have any issues. Lastly and most importantly, our customers absolutely love their coffee and it's one of the reasons why we've been able to be so successful in such a competitive market. Coffee is everything in our business and we made sure we picked the best around. It's always a pleasure dealing with Sam and Kelly from Philosophy Coffee. They often stop by our restaurant just to say hello and check on things. They don't just sell you a product and disappear, they are always proactive and really do things right away.
