Dear Bob:
I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank you" for the above and beyond approach you took to my company and specifically my tax issue. After being in business for a little over a year, I received a tax bill from the IRS for $1284. After inquiring with my now former tax preparer, I was told (over the phone) to just write the IRS and hopefully they'll waive it...and that was the extent of their help.
After calming me down, you took the time to tell me in detail the steps to take to remedy the situation and offered to look over my return. Following your step-by-step advice, I spoke to an IRS agent, laid out the problem, and they waived the fees on the spot. Additionally, after looking at my tax returns, you found errors that resuulted in my receiving an additional $1280 from the government and $720 from the state. By caring for your clients and taking just an additional few minutes to double check things, you fixed problems I didn't even know I had!
I thank you from my "bottom line" and now you have a lifelong client as well as advertising/marketing person!
Sincerely yours,
Jason Buchanan

Isn't it time you started to think like a black belt?
"For the last 5 or so years we have been using one of the Big Tax
Preparation Company’s thinking since they were so big, we would be
getting the best service with the best pricing. This year I discovered
I was wrong, very wrong. In the past my husband has ended up having
between 2 to 5 appointments to get the process taken care of. We work
separate shifts and they never had a way to make it more convenient for
us, he would bring the paperwork home, I would sign that night and he
would go back the next day to give it to the tax preparer, this
resulted in many extra trips and he always had to set an appointment
just to return the paperwork!
After I gave Bob my information, he emailed me with a couple of extra
questions, and then emailed the form to have my refund direct
deposited. I printed, signed and scanned & emailed it to my
husband-who printed, signed and sent back to me, I then emailed the
completed form to Bob and I never left my desk to accomplish this!! And
the best part, the fee was quite a bit less!
I will continue to refer to Bob at MAINE, Inc. because my clients need
someone who can think outside of the box when it comes to their own
businesses. "

"I hired Bob to help me prepare my small business to be sold. It will be sometime down the road so he helped me to establish a long-term plan. Each time we get together we review what step I am at and what I am working towards. He sometimes suggests better ways to get there. We also review my monthly financials to make sure that they are properly categorized so that things will be orderly when it comes time to put the business on the market. Bob has also suggested ways for me to reduce tax liabilities and increase profitability.
Bob thinks in an organized fashion and is socially at ease. He has a very strong knowledge of tax law yet if he does not know the answer to something he is always happy to do further research. He is energetic and has a very thorough knowledge of how to run a business properly and profitably in this current economic climate.
Bob is highly professional. I would highly recommend him to work with any small business."
