Testimonials
…exactly what I was looking for--professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fast
...solid advice during a free consultation to help solve an issue that had been giving me stress headaches for months.
Tara Is definitely one of the best accountants in the business….She is a joy to work with and very smart. She has the patience of a saint and a wonderful personality as well.
I found this firm based on the reviews here and was surprised at how much they lived up to the service and quality. I think I told them (after they helped to resolve a complicated tax matter) they were miracle workers and upon reflection I stand by that sentiment. Truly easy to work with and local to Marin which is nice.
I was unable to get the IRS to listen to me because I did not speak the same language. I needed a professional gunslinger. I then spoke with the professionals at Frederiksen-Crawford CPA and my fast beating heart was settled with their reassuring confidence.
