spending time with his family. Shaun is an active member in his community
and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public

"Although I hired him to do my S
corp. tax return, Shaun noticed my bookkeeper was including too much salary on my W-2 when it could
be recognized as profits. He saved me $10,000 in payroll taxes in 2008 and I will save from
here on out."

" Shaun realized I was reporting
ESPP stock options wrong and adjusted my returns from 06-08 saving me income taxes. I
enjoy working with someone who is personable as well as experienced when
dealing with my tax filing. I would recommend him if you have more than a
W-2."
