Christina's Big Four background shows in every detail. She identified over $60,000 in missed deductions from our prior returns and built a tax strategy that completely transformed our business.
We had been with the same CPA for fifteen years. Within our first meeting, Christina showed us exactly where we were leaving money on the table. The level of analysis is in a different class entirely.
