Tax relief thanks to Michael Berry

Having returned to the US after living abroad for many years, I was looking for advice and help with my taxes. I’m glad I found Michael. He did an excellent job during my transition, saving me valuable time and providing a high-level of comfort and satisfaction. I also appreciated Michael’s client-focused approach. He got to know me as a person and understood my needs and concerns. I would highly recommend his services. If your tax situation includes a complex international component, Michael will take care of you.

Michael Berry has saved my $$$$$$ and my mind!!!

Michael Berry is a jewel! He is very professional and knowledgeable. His financial advice is invaluable now that I have a new small business. Additionally, his tax preparation has saved me thousands of dollars in federal and state taxes from prior years which were not submitted correctly. No matter the state I lived in or the need to reconcile the taxes of my deceased family members Michael was able to assist and resolve problems. Current tax issues are now easily and quickly taken care of with Michael at the helm. I recommend him to everyone I know for any financial advise and tax preparation!

Grateful for Michael

Michael is the most effective and competent CPA I've ever worked with. My two previous CPAs made a mess of my taxes. Michael straightened everything out and even convinced the IRS to abate thousands of dollars in penalties and interest. He's exact, ethical, persistent and wonderfully friendly and colorful. He made sure I understood everything he was doing. He worked doggedly with the IRS. He saved me a bundle of money, including money I thought I'd never see again. I sleep better knowing that Michael is managing my taxes.

Michael Berry is amazing! He is very professional but also a human being. He is a pleasure to work with, returns calls right away, gives good and thoughtful advice and knows the system. He is also quick and accurate because he is so knowledgeable. He has been invaluable to us for tax preparation and financial advice. I would recommend anyone going to him. Go to Michael, he is the best choice there is for a CPA and tax accountant.

A competent, loyal and creative CPA

Michael has been my CPA for five years. During that time he has helped me work through some difficult tax matters with the IRS. I know I am probably his smallest client, but he has never treated me that way. I have been impressed with his level of care, competence and concern for my difficult issues. Finally, we are getting it all worked out and life is better because of his help.‎

An Accountants CPA

My name is Jan Ybarra. I have worked in Bookkeeping/Accounting for the past 22 years. I am currently working for a construction organization that consists of 6 companies. QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 10.0 is our operating system. Prior to that operating system, we used QuickBooks Pro Contractor Edition. In October of 2008 we hired Michael to review and advise us on all of our 2008 tax returns that had been prepared by another accounting firm. Michael was very thorough in his review. He discovered many inconsistencies in the work done and suggested many changes that saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars. Rather than continue with the other firm, we chose to contract with Michael for our year-end accounting evaluation and tax filings.Not only did Michael reduce our liability on the 2008 taxes, he evaluated and re-filed our 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax returns which provided an additional refund in excess of $100,000.00. When Michael came on board in 2008 our QuickBooks
