Jefferey is super-easy to work with, answers questions promptly and with an educator's zeal. I uploaded our documents and he very quickly worked out our 2-state + federal taxes. Later when we had some changes to make (my issues, not his) he was very gracious and patient. I strongly recommend Paramount Tax & Accounting.

Jeff just completed tax filing for my husband and me. He helped us organize our records and then went through them, completing the tax forms with us, and carefully checking himself and us. He is very good at this and also very ethical. We will certainly continue to work with him. I recommend him without any reservation.
