Coming from Atlanta, I had been paying over a grand a year [in addition to bookkeeping service fees] for my partnership LLC and married jointly 1040. After losing my job and finding myself out a monthly cash flow equal to my previous accountant's fee, there was no way I could afford to keep them. So I found Shayne, and I am thrilled to be working with her.
Besides working with my budget [including the timing I outlined in which I can pay], she also was very informative about my actual return. Her assistant set up an appointment and I got to meet her face to face [something I never was able to do with my previous accountant] and she went over our whole thing right then and there. So we had a ball park figure when we left her office, which really took a weight off my shoulders. I had been stressed about my return for months, but in a matter of minutes Shayne figured it out.
She also informed me on how to pay [I never had owed before], where to send and everything. She sent in my paper work for me, including the one that had to be sent on paper in the mail.
Her fee was a third of what I was used to paying, so I am stoked to have some financial security again. I will be working with her from now on! I highly recommend her, especially to small time business owners or partnerships. She is one of the few CPA's that will acknowledge that it doesn't make sense to charge a company with a net profit of less than $5K the same amount as a business $500K just because they are the same classification of business type.
If you want someone who will work with your needs and be very educational, call Shayne!
Bonus: the office is pretty and there is a lovely fountain outside; nice area.
