Authoritative Tax Advice for Attorneys, CPAs and their Clients

Our attorneys and CPA clients rely on our specialized tax services which are not available internally within their firms when they need access to our specialized skills for short periods of time. Most times, it is for a transaction or opportunity that arises with a client of the firm.

This partnership between our firms benefits the client and your firm. The client of the firm gets the benefit of our specialized tax knowledge and the firm gets the benefit of a tax specialist with a wide range of tax experience that their firm may not be able to provide. We have the expertise, drive and capability to deliver exceptional results.
