Testimonials

We have worked with Ryan for 18 years which began when he was a college intern and have been with him ever since. We use him for our personal taxes as well as for businesses that we have owned. The best word to describe Ryan is PROACTIVE. Even as an intern, he has always been proactive and visionary in managing our tax situation. He has always provided 5 star guidance. His advice has optimized our personal income taxes through all stages of our life and his advice in some of our business activities has been priceless. When we sold our business, Ryan was with us through the whole process helping to maximize the sales price and minimize income taxes. One of the things that I appreciate the most from a personal standpoint is how he openly communicates with our financial advisors ensuring that our moves with them are in our best interest from a tax standpoint. I have confidently referred Ryan to several of my acquaintances over the years and they have all expressed gratitude for my doing so as they have seen the advantages that working with Ryan provides.
