He even gave me some guidance on deductions for my small business next year.

I've been coming to Carla since 2011ish. I've been to HR block, I've been to other tax people. What…read morekeeps me coming back to Carla, aside from the free pens, free calendars, and copious amount of free candy, is that she knows me. This is like the Cheers of tax business. You're thinking.. How is that possible? Try it. She has all the fixins of that home town feel right in the heart of Des Moines. She has seen my financial and life situation change over the years from college and part-time jobs to full time jobs, to marriage and divorce, to buying a house and soon enough a child. The physical growth of this business over the years is a testament to the clientele she is getting and maintaining. The last two years I paid in for missteps I was making, and Carla troubleshooted me through it and I got it figured out. Funny enough, I discovered one of my best friends, who is a self employed, also gets her taxes done by Carla.

This really is as good as it gets...financially speaking. I was referred to Steve Bruner, CPA at…read morethis firm when I finally decided that being completely anxious about taxes AND 8 months pregnant AND potty training was not good for anyone. I live in Texas, but own property in Iowa, so I was looking for someone in the DsM area. I was apprehensive about handing over my financial information (and tax liability) to a stranger, but Steve is everything you want in an accountant. Smart, funny, prompt, competent. I asked a bunch of (ignorant and useless) questions and Steve had an answer for each one. He and his firm are extremely reasonably priced and likely found WAY more deductions in my taxes than the fee he charged--so I'm sure I came out ahead. He ALSO likely kept me out of trouble with the IRS given the complicated tax situation we were facing this year. Taxes? No fun. But working with Steve makes taxes a lot less horrible. And that's saying a lot. We will absolutely use Steve next year and I look forward to pumping this kid out for an additional tax write-off.
