I've been practicing Chiropractic for almost 30 years. My former CPA retired so I was in need of a new CPA. As many do, I resorted to checking reviews and searching online for firms. I have interviewed about 10 and worked with 3 firms and I must say that this team is nothing short of extraodinary. From first impression with Gary to the rest of the team, I have found the entire process seamless, highly professional, productively automated, yet still personal. The response time exceeded my expectations...far exceeded my expectaions in every professional way. The knowledge of the law, oversight and direction placed me at ease, to the extendt where I can focus on gorwing the business. If you are searching for a firm, Massey and Company is the best that I have worked with in 30 years, including my former of which I had for 15 years.

Great team to work with. Sort of a late request this year but no matter how busy they might have been even deep into tax season Massey and Company handled it just fine. They had an easy to follow form to help me get the right docs prepared. The secure portal was easy to navigate and helped to keep things organized. They had a few more questions after that but the whole process was simple and straight forward.

Massey and Co did a great job with my taxes. Once all my paperwork was uploaded to their shared drive it only took a couple of days to complete my return. I finished the whole process a month earlier than when I did my own taxes. I got back a lot of free time and they made the whole process low stress.
