He is always quick to respond to my questions and I enjoy working with him. He has made running my business a lot easier and stress free. He is a true team player. Thank you Jose!

Jose and his team are fantastic! I feel I'm in excellent hands when having them prepare my taxes. They are thorough and knowledgeable. I'm a loyal and happy customer.


Sarah S. – Business Owner

Jose is a very passionate and knowledgeable accountant. He is one of the few people I trust with my business, and with my clients. If you don't have an accountant and you're in the Lynnwood, Edmonds, Seattle, or Shoreline area, he is a must see. A good accountant is essential to having a successful business.
