I've been doing my tax returns for my wife and me for more than 50 years. Usually, it would take…read moreme a week to get all the forms and try to plug them into TurboTax and hope I got it right. This year I decided to have a professional CPA prepare my taxes. A friend referred me to Chris Martin. I gathered my forms, prepared a long list of questions I needed answered, and headed to Swansea to meet Chris. WOW, what great professional experience. Chris walked my wife and me through all the forms and paperwork, in less than an hour. All questions answered. Chris has a large computer monitor, we could watch him enter the data, and asked questions as he entered the data. I believe he saved us about $2,000, by entering the data into the proper forms. Overall, personable, professional and quick. I'll be back again next year.

I operate a small business and don't want to spend any more time on tax and payroll than I have to. There is also a lot of peace of mind in having a professional handle these things. My previous CPA, while good, doesn't offer payroll services. I decided STL Tax deserves a review as I had trouble locating many options for payroll on Yelp in St. Louis. What I like most about STL Tax is the ease of communicating with James about any issues I encounter. He is just an email or phone call away. He has been helpful in giving me ideas for different corporate structures as well as advise on retirement plans. I highly recommend working with STL Tax and James Coats to any small business owner out there who needs help with some of the issues a growing business faces.
