I am proficient in various tax software and tools, such as Thomson Reuters, Intuit ProSeries, and Drake Software. I have experience using these tools to prepare and file taxes, as well as to analyze and review financial data during audits.
I handle difficult or non-compliant taxpayers by remaining professional and respectful at all times.

I recently conducted a tax audit for a large retail company. Through my review of their financial statements and documentation, I was able to identify and recommend adjustments that resulted in a substantial savings for the company. The audit was completed on time and with minimal disruption to the company's operations.
