Shankar was great in helping me file my 2025 taxes. He took his time understanding my situation, answering all of my questions, and helping me get the outcome I was looking for. He also went out of his way to give me advice for the 2026 tax year. The whole process was super easy and fast. Would definitely recommend working with this firm!!
