As a tax firm, we prepare tax returns such as Form 1120 and give related advice, of course. Please note, however, that is not all we provide.

We are not a grocery store selling ordinary groceries. We are like a small boutique, dealing with exotic vegetables other stores do not handle at reasonable prices. On the other hand, we do not have a sale on dirt-cheap almost rotten vegetables.

To name just a few services we provide;
