TESTIMONIALS

"Brenda made filing taxes the easiest and most comfortable process I've ever had! Her professionalism, friendliness, and competence made the whole experience very pleasant. I definitely recommend her services and will use them again in the future!”

"I have been a client for over 20 years and have recommended many other companies to B.W. Smith & Company. I always tell people just call them and ask any questions. They will know the answer."

"The staff have done a great job for me and for several other business owners that I have referred to the company. Different accounting firms that did not have CPAs on staff said we owed quite a bit of money in taxes. B.W. Smith & Company significantly reduced our tax bill."

“When my brother passed away without a will he left me quite a mess to straighten out. B. W. Smith + Company walked me through the whole process and helped me understand everything I needed to do. I don’t know how I could have done it without them. I was so relieved when the estate was finally closed.”

“My wife and I did our own taxes for years but finally used E.D.S. last year. I will never do them again by myself. They were able to show us how many deductions and credits we had been missing on the computer program we were using and as a result saved a bundle. Also liked that everyone there has been doing taxes for years so knows the laws. Can’t say enough good things about them and the money they saved us!”

"We have used Brenda Smith for our taxes for years and they always do an awesome job!!!”

“Brenda and team have done my taxes for years. For those of you who think professional tax preparation is expensive, unless your taxes are very simple, a single review by a professional can pay for years/decades/a lifetime of tax preparation fees. Remember, it is like a compounding investment...a good tax idea keeps paying for itself over your entire lifetime. There is no substitute for a tax specialist.”
