Current Co-Worker | May 11, 2021
I have been professionally working with Ben for the last 10 years. His understanding of the tax code and processes are immense. He is a ‘code head’ that not only memorizes the words, idea, and intent of the code, but even memories the specific code or manual citations. He is my go-to for how a process, form, or code section plays out when I can’t figure it out.

Beyond just his understanding, he has an uncanny ability to being the complex matters of taxes and describe them in down-to-earth everyday terms that make it easier to understand and relate to.

Ben and his group were able to dig into my return and explain difficult issues that the IRS had dinged me on and then explain and determine the right way to proceed. I appreciate the service I received.
