Steve was amazing! So professional and extremely knowledgeable! I reached out to Steve with a tax…read morequestion and he answered it completely! Steve asked me if there was anything else I needed help with and I asked him for a quote to do my taxes. Steve quoted me a price that was more than fair! I met with Steve later in the week and my taxes were completed in a week! Steve also found errors on my taxes that I had a separate company prepare last year and was able to recoup a substantial sum for me!! I will never go anywhere else!!

On short notice near the end of the busy tax season, Stephen was able to complete for me a federal…read moretax return for a revocable living trust. After comparing rates with other tax accounting services, Trank & Amaral were by far the most competitive. Stephen was even able to find ways to reduce the amount owed to the IRS. I will definitely use Trank & Amaral again in 2026 and for all my tax related needs.

We need needed a consultation about a business venture we were about to start. I emailed Nikki and…read moreshe answered back quickly, and got us in within the same week. The office was in a charming historic building in down town Providence. Everything from the hallways to the elevator to the pendulum clock in the office just reminds of a more classical time in the history of Providence, perhaps a better time. Nikki is very kind and welcoming. She has a positive attitude. We sat with her and her father, Larry. They know how to ask all the right questions and they gave us a detailed and thorough consultation. I was really impressed with their professionalism. Best of all, the consultation was FREE! And here is how I know Nikki and Larry are trustworthy. They advised us against a specific business plan and showed us its shortcomings, although they could have made lots of money doing the paperwork for us. This shows integrity. Larry showed me how to do a simple task at city hall that would cost me a mere $10 instead of something that would have cost around $1000 a year. Give them a try and judge for yourself!

This was my first time using Ray for my kind of complicated tax prep, but I'm coming back every…read moreyear from now on! This is a family business: Ray does the prep, his wife (of 49 years!) does scheduling, and his adult grandson and wife assist in the practice. The office is filled with family travel photos and mementos, and small things to make customers feel well served and welcome: water bottles and soda are on the customers' side of the desk, with candy, phone charging cords, and pads and pens. I got a rubber jar opener that Ray gave out last year - his 30th anniversary client gift because I didn't get one then (not being a client). It's in a strip mall on the corner of Newport Ave and Beverage Hill and does t look that reassuring from the outside - but inside is a caring, professional, and friendly group of tax experts. As we sat doing my taxes, about 10 people came in one at a time to drop off, pick up, or ask questions about their tax forms (and one who needed to do amended forms for late W-2s). Grandson Austin handled most of them independently, but was very discreet when he needed quick info from the expert. Ray saved mea SERIOUS amount over last year's federal tax bill (by finding deductions TurboTax - and the CPA we used before last year - didn't offer/explain, at about half the fee I would have paid either of them). He also helped me learn how to pre-pay state taxes to lower my sticker shock next year: I'll always owe RI because my husband's MA pension isn't taxed by MA when it's paid but it's considered fully taxable income in RI. Ouch. Helping me avoid another huge bill next August? Thank you, Ray! Call early for 2026 - they cannot accept any more new clients this year. I'm so lucky I made the call to Ray Therrien when I did!
