What Our Clients Say

​"I have been so happy to have Bobby-Joe do my personal taxes for the past couple of years.  They have helped so much to take away my stress at tax filing time.  I really appreciate how they have been patient and knowledgeable with my many questions, helping me understand a few things that felt complicated and confusing to me.  Hiring an accountant was something that felt a little intimidating to me, because I knew I hadn’t done a great job of keeping some of my own records.  Bobby-Joe was totally non-judgemental about this.  They made me feel comfortable and were able to work with what I had to figure out what was needed to report my taxes properly.  I really appreciate Bobby-Joe’s                         combination of friendliness and                             professionalism, and would totally                         recommend hiring them."

Jenn M.

Bobby-Joe was very patient in explaining financial language. They walked me through tracking and organizing my expenses in a clear and calm manner.

At income tax time, I feel confident that I have recorded income and expenses accurately and that Bobby-Joe has maximized my tax return ethically”
