Wow!
I reached out to a few CPAs on Thumbtack given that I had decided not to use my CPA of 15 years for poor responsiveness and boneheaded error that was costly in 2017. Also, because I had remarried recently (Dec 2018) and I needed someone knowledgeable to help us out with our taxes given that my wife is from China and we would need someone to help us navigate through the tax laws. I ended up working with a CPA recommended through my wife's contacts and she was simply clueless hence my search on Thumbtack. Bruce responded quickly and timely to every single question without being retained and was extremely helpful. Of course, I am going to work with Bruce and he has not had the opportunity to do my taxes yet, but what a start! I am very pleased with his responsiveness and answering my questions to get me to a comfort level. The fact that he is a tax attorney puts my mind at ease as we will most likely come across some challenges which we can rely on his interpretation of the tax laws.
Looking forward to working with someone who is competent and customer service seems to be a part of his DNA! Seems like a great choice!
Thank you.

Bruce was very professional, meticulous, patient and efficient with my somewhat complicated taxes. We had one introductory conversation on the phone, then I uploaded all documents via a secure link. He created the first draft of the tax return for me to review in a few days and addressed all my questions. He also provided useful suggestions on how to do my taxes better in the future. He was very punctual, set realistic expectations and delivered ahead of time. One other advantage of working with him is that he has a lot of experience with taxes which made it easy to trust him (remotely) and helped remove any unnecessary anxiety from the filing process. Will hire again.

My tax situation was a bit complicated involving residence in more than one state and different revenue streams. Bruce made it easy to understand what needed to be done and provided a clear step-by-step plan, and followed through.

Bruce is great. I had a tax question that I just couldn't figure out on my own, Bruce had the answer and got everything taken care of. I also liked the web portal he used.

Bruce did a great job handling my complex tax situation (given that I live and work overseas). He was fast and was able to answer all my questions. I definitely recommend him.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have seen many tax services take advantage of taxpayers by charging very high fees. We offer high quality tax preparation at very reasonable prices. We charge a fixed fee that includes e-filing. You will know up front exactly what your cost will be.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process starts when a potential client contacts us by phone or e-mail. We gather some preliminary information and quote a fixed price. We then send a link to our secure, online portal so that the client can upload documents such as W-2 and 1099 forms. This is very easy to do. We then prepare the return and ask any necessary questions as we go along. We send a draft return to the client for review and approval. Once the client approves the return, we e-file it and confirm with the client once the IRS has accepted it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bruce practiced as a tax attorney with a large, international law firm in Washington, DC, before becoming a full-time, law school professor. He has taught taxation to thousands of students over the last 20 years. Bruce has a law degree (J.D.) and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in taxation. He spends a lot of time writing and speaking about recent tax developments to help attorneys and CPAs stay up to date.
