I give Michael five stars for his excellent service and advice. I needed help with a very important issue that required immediate attention. Michael was there, and had provided unselfish guidance. The issue was successfully resolved. I would recommend Michael to anyone seeking honest professional assistance.

When people hear what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear, they close their mind in denial. In my case, Michael Berry told us what we needed to hear. It was difficult, but it turned out to solve our very complex family and financial problems. He was worth every penny. I can see from this other review, someone did not get the answer they wanted to hear.

Michael's in-depth knowledge and experience in both accounting and financial planning are enormously helpful. Not only did he save us a lot on taxes by identifying deductions we didn't know we could claim, his help on planning for the future alone would've been well worth a consultation. Can't recommend this service highly enough. If you need an accountant or need to make sure you're on track for short term or long term future goals, consult Michael.
