As a corporate law firm administrator I have dealt with corporate CPA's and used them to do my personal taxes for many years.
When I got married five years ago I thought I would use my husband's tax person, Tammy @ C.A.T.S. Tax Service. I WAS SO IMPRESSED!! I will never, EVER have anyone but Tammy do my taxes. She is a certified EA (Enrolled Agent) of the IRS and is right on top of all the new laws tax issues. When you call she takes all the time you need to answer your questions and if she doesn't have the answer (which she usually does) she gets it immediately.
I have been in corporate America for well over three decades and would put Tammy up against any CPA or numbers person I have ever met.
