Tom has handled complicated personal tax returns (often totaling 200-300 pages in length) for us and John's business for nearly 20 years. In addition to federal returns, we had some 6-8 state returns many years.

Tom has answered each of our many questions with good explanations.

Any time I have a question or a problem, I can call and he gets right back to me.

I’ve been working with Tom since 1998. He looks after our accounting needs such as quarterly reports and our W2s.

Tom is very knowledgeable – he’s a QuickBooks genius! Any time I have a question or a problem, I can call and he gets right back to me.

He’s also great at explaining things in a way that makes them easy to understand. The webinars he offered about changes with COVID were very very helpful. He has a way of making sure that the information he’s sharing doesn’t go over people’s heads.

Quality

An accounting firm is known for the quality of its service. Our firm’s reputation reflects the high standards we demand of ourselves.

Our primary goal as a trusted advisor is to be available and to provide insightful advice to enable our clients to make informed financial decisions. We do not accept anything less from ourselves and this is what we deliver to you.

We feel it is extremely important to continually professionally educate ourselves to improve our technical expertise, financial knowledge and service to our clients.

Our high service quality and “raving fan” clients are the result of our commitment to excellence.

I trust TABC to give me good advice

Tom helped me set up my company 16 years ago and I’ve been working with him ever since. He prepares my personal and company tax returns and provides me with payroll support.

I like the fact that Tom can take complicated tax and accounting issues and translate them into plain English so that I can understand. He's always there when I have questions. Tom has been advising me from the very beginning, making sure that I wouldn’t fall into any common new business pitfalls.

I trust Tom to give me good advice. I don't want to spend any time worrying about if I'm going to get audited. I want someone who will assure me that I’m doing it the right way and paying what I should be paying. Tom’s not the type of accountant who will “find a bunch of grey-area deductions for you” – he errs on the side of being judicious. If I have a question about a possible deduction, he’ll give me honest feedback about whether it’s allowed and leave the final decision up to me as a business owner.

Tom’s admin support person, Shelly, is hilarious. I love her. Going to his office is like being Norm in an old Cheers episode - when you come in there, your name is known. You're welcome. Great customer service, attitude and a great sense of humor.

I very willingly refer people to Tom and I think that’s the best compliment you could give a professional services firm like his. Money is a delicate issue and I can say “go to my guy because he won’t let you down” with the utmost confidence.
