  • I have recommended this firm to all of my friends and family and will continue to do so in the future. No matter how big or small my questions are, they always take the time to make sure I have a full understanding of my taxes. The staff is always so kind and knowledgeable. Year after year they continue to impress me with their ability to tackle any challenge I throw their way. If you are looking for a new tax firm, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

    Brigham & Calhoun did a great job revising several years of K-1's for me. They where also very helpful in corresponding with the IRS and where successful getting late fees waived... Overall I am very happy with them and would recommend.

  • I highly recommend this firm. They have served my practice for over 15 years. They audited previous accountants work and recovered funds, took over payroll when a national company made errors, helped with our 401K plan, and have helped with financial planning. They have been instrumental during the pandemic in assisting with the paperwork needed to keep my practice going during shutdown and with reopening. They are available to discuss strategies for personal and business finance. This firm is in another state, but they have researched out of state tax laws to accommodate my practice. They continue to impress!
