Tax Matters Associates Review

Art was my accountant for years and years, but when I opened my own business I had to find someone who was savvy about small business tax laws, not that he wasn't, but I wanted someone who specialized in it. Driving by his little office you would think it was The Money Store or some other place like that with it's neon lighted sign and cheesy appearance, but the guy on the inside is quality. Top notch. He did an excellent job on my taxes for years and is extremely thorough and quick. I highly recommend him. I've sent other people to him and they love him too.

Accounting 4 DC Review

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful and super professional.  I want to start off that we are normally turbo tax type people, but between my husband having been employed by more than one company this year and us buying a co-op we really need some help. Stephanie figured out what would be best for us by even comparing how much we would owe if we were to file separately but married or filing jointly. She didn't charge us an extra for this. Plus, we now have someone to go to with our financial planning questions. Turbo tax just lost some customers.

Basecamp DC Review

Raj and his associate Ben cheerfully and economically support neighborhood small businesses, NGOs, us consultants who work at home "in our pajamas," and other neighbors who don't live in  a building with a concierge to accept packages and help with those office extras such as faxing, printing, and more.
Meet the neighborly group of folks who stop in to go online at the bank of computers; they may  include  delivery workers picking up and delivering from UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc,  other Nepalese, or other immigrants. I have met them and others at the neighborhood bbqs Raj generously hosts to promote community and networking among his varied customers.

Charles Schwab Review

Yesterday, I called the cust serv 800 no. with a question about the difference between two ticker symbols of this one international stock. Although the rep I first spoke with wasn't able to help me, she quickly transferred me to a broker who could, and I didn't sit on hold for even three minutes. The broker solved my problem in a snap, and I'm a happy shareholder today. I'm a massive advocate of youngsters investing, so if you're looking to start, even if you have very little money, look no further than Charles Schwab (unless you're really broke, then look to Sharebuilder. I had a good experience with them, but had to switch to Schwab because of my job). Excellent customer service, decently priced trades, and a pretty easy-to-navigate website. Highest regards!
