Describe a recent event you are fond of.

Perhaps our client, Joan, said it best in her letter of gratitude...

Dear John,

I had to write to you because I am so grateful to you for the tax work you did at my request, for a family member.

Several years ago I volunteered to help take care of a family member who had been diagnosed with an acute and terminal illness.

Shortly after taking on this responsibility it became clear that this individual had not been managing well for some time both physically and financially.

I realized that they had not filed their taxes for several years after a lifetime of hard work and financial responsibility.

I contacted the State Dept of Revenue and the IRS and was overwhelmed by the amount of money that was owed because of late fees and penalties. I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t know where to turn.

Thankfully another family recommended that I contact you.

You worked tirelessly with The IRS and the Revenue Dept. Your knowledge and expertise saved this person from losing their home and their income.Your efforts have allowed them to live out the end of their life with dignity. I can never adequately thank you for all you have done; you are a miracle worker.

Your work saved the financial portion of this person's life and turned what I thought was a hopeless situation into a positive experience. I learned from this that no matter how dire a situation may seem that with the assistance of the correct professional that a successful resolution can be reached.

Also you charged a very reasonable free which was only a fraction of what a Tax Attorney would have billed me. I recommend you to everyone because I know first hand that you excel at what you do. I truly appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Joan

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

Be sure your tax preparer will have an office to call YEAR-ROUND. Ideally, he/she will be a CPA or an Enrolled Agent so that you can be represented by the firm if you have any disputes or payment issues with IRS.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

Am I looking for the lowest price... or do I want an Expert who will look out for my interests and provide the best possible service at a very reasonable fee?
