Takes care of business.
I have been a client of Melissa's for the past 3 to 4 years. She has assisted me with my tax situation. Due to her experiences in handling these types of tax matters, I now have a comprehensive plan that I can manage and work with moving forward. She is a no nonsense person who gets it done.
