Hear from Expats We've Helped

"I was behind my taxes for years and have had issues with the IRS that have been causing me significant stress. I approached Mike and his team who have been helping me with my tax returns and other IRS issues.

Mike and his team have since gotten me up-to-date on my tax returns and have been continuously working on the other issues I have with the IRS. Things are going slowly with the IRS due to COVID-19 but they are keeping me updated, we are making progress and I am satisfied with it.

Mike is highly skilled in finance and accounting, a hardworking man, and a friendly tax expert. He and his team are also easy to work with, kept me informed and answered all of the questions I had and made me feel at ease during each step of the filing process.

Overall, I strongly recommend his professional service to anyone."

R. Matis

"Michael is very helpful in preparing all of my taxes and dealing with the IRS directly to make sure I didn't have to pay undue fees.

He also helped advise on the optimal tax structure for me as an expat in Asia as well.

I would recommend Michael for other expats."

J. Chuang

"He knows how to deal with the IRS, and is very knowledgeable about federal and state income tax compliance, as well as tax accounting.

He has been extremely helpful throughout the process; specifically in his guidance navigating the federal and state tax laws.

I would recommend Mike without any hesitation."
