“Friendly, thorough and efficient…” 

“Michael and Tricia, veterans of large tax and accounting firms, have substantial experience with US expat tax returns, took time to familiarize themselves with our current situation, answer questions, and to actually assist us in gathering information (as opposed to insisting we fill in the lengthy, time-consuming, endless one-size-fits-all type questionnaires we had received in the past). In their friendly, thorough and efficient manner, Mike and Tricia not only produced an excellent work product but turned, for us, what could have been a stressful situation into an (almost) enjoyable one.
As US Expats, living and working in Brussels, we have had lots of experience with tax preparers and tax advisers. This has taught us just how difficult it is to find tax professionals who have, in addition to excellent technical knowledge and skills, a real desire to help their clients and who obviously derive tremendous satisfaction from their work.” – Ronni K., 2013 (Yelp)

“Calm professional tax advice…”

“I signed on with Water Street Associates just as I was preparing to move overseas.  Complex exit tax issues ensued but their calm professional advice at all time saw me through and made what could have been a stressful time, that much easier.  I’m grateful.”  Julia T., 2015
