Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office last year, most taxpayers (77% of 71 million taxpayers) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer. Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing.

Severe years ago, I was searching for a CPA that could handle my increasingly complex returns (part-owner of several businesses, real estate investments and potentially complicated family assets). A colleague recommended Marc Drumheller, one of the Directors of his firm.
I could not be more satisfied with Marc and his team. They are consistently professional, timely and thorough. Unexpected events have made my life even more complicated, and through the chaotic times I never had to worry about this aspect of my life. Great value.

I would rate higher on competency; in fact, I'd give 4 stars, less than perfect simply for the somewhat slow responsiveness of the accountant. But, I must give one star for lack of professionalism at a very high price.
I am a professional, and one that lives and dies by the billable hour. I understand and respect the fact that professionals such as accountants need and deserve to get paid for the time they work. But when their time goes over budget by three times, without any communication whatsoever to the client *before* the price goes through the roof, I get concerned.
