Marissa Sperazza has alway been so very helpful during tax preparation. This year she sat down with me in the summer to explain so many tax issues I did not understand. Personal guidance is so important.

I am deeply indebted and truly grateful to Dave Fultz and his excellent staff for their excellent service for many years. Their service and professionalism is surpassed by their compassion at times of family disaster and death. I give my highest recommendation possible. Thank you Dave

Barsz Gowie has been my company's accounting firm for more than 20 years, as well as my personal accountant. Partner Lou Schiazza has been outstanding at helping us navigate different issues as we have grown. I consider him to be a valued partner and advisor, not just an accountant. We appreciate Barsz Gowie and the excellent team there!

They've been my accountants (personal + two businesses) for the last three years and do a fine job. We like the proactive quarterly meetings (if desired) and the fact that all partners review every return. They're savvy with knowing how to plan and have kept us running smoothly (despite that accounting is not a strong skill for me!). Have recommended them to other business owners who have had a similar experience.
