I have used this firm for at least 8 years now, and have been very pleased. My tax filings are complex and difficult. The firm gives good advice, is careful and thorough, and follows up constantly on missing information. The fees are commensurate with the complexity of the work.

It is clear that this firm counts every second its employees spend (even e-mail responses

Very professional and organized. Chip and his team helped clarify lots of complex questions in a way that was understandable to me. Chip is a straight shooter, very fair and a good communicator.
