I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good accountant. I had sold my home and did a cross-country move, so my taxes this year were more complicated than usual. I found these reviews on Yelp and decided to meet with Josh. He was easy-going, very professional, clear, and really helpful. I decided to work with him and am so glad I did. He really helped me out and I learned some new things about taxes in the process. He was prompt and up front, and I did better on my returns than I knew was possible. He is a great accountant to work with and I highly recommend him. read more

Josh seemed to be a good honest guy. He came to my house and gave me a free consultation. I was ready to pay to get my taxes done but he told me (given my tax situation) I would probably be better off filing my taxes myself since I didn't quite have enough deductions for medical or general deductions to go over the standard deduction. So I filed online and got 2k back on my returns. Thanks Josh, I will keep you in my phone for accounting needs in the future. read more
