Skylar Dubrow CPA Exposes Common Myths About Estate Planning in 2015

I think there are two components to our shared reaction about the events in Paris on Friday. On one hand, we have the grief…

I’d like to comment on the help I received from Skylar Dubrow, CPA. I received an IRS Audit notice in the mail last year and and I had no idea what step to take next.

Last week, we tied a bow around all of our client tax returns for 2015, i.e. for “tax year 2014”, as the extension deadline came and went. It feels good to turn the page and move into our intensive preparation season for tax season 2016.

Skylar Dubrow CPA’s 5 Tips for Successful Business Lunches

The other day, I saw an article that made my jaw drop — and reminded me (once again) why we do what we do.
