We wish you a happy new year. We are excited to share some wonderful news, we have welcomed a new partner, Allison Shumate (our daughter). She is a licensed CPA with several years of experience in personal and small business tax planning and preparation. She will provide the high-quality service you’ve come to expect from our business.
