I have been a licensed CPA since 1981. I started my sole owner practice in November 1985.  I merged my practice with another firm in November 2001.  I left that firm in May of 2018 to restart my own sole owner practice. I do not employ a staff that prepares returns, I personally prepare every tax return myself.  I am very accessible and deeply care about not only my clients financial and tax situations, but about their personal lives, and those of their family.  I strive to ensure that my clients pay the least amount of taxes legally possible.
