Testimonial
In addition to the routine accounting services, he has been a key to our accomplishing acquisitions and to successfully responding to tax audits without any adjustments required by us.
Throughout this time, Paul has performed with the highest level of skill, knowledge, and integrity. His costs to us have been an extraordinarily fair value. He has frequently been able to surprise me with creative accounting to take full advantage of tax incentives to minimize my tax liabilities, while always acting in full compliance with all tax laws.
I have always felt comfortable that his advice is never missing an opportunity for savings while not having any worries as to proper compliance. Paul has saved me more money than other accountants would have, than what his services have cost me.
Most appreciated by me is Paul’s patient and friendly demeanor along with his initiative-taking guidance. Our business association has been one of my most valuable business assets. He has my complete trust and highest recommendation.
