Testimonials

Mike has a unique combination of hard skills (technical expertise and experience) and soft skills (compassion, likeability, trustworthiness, and an ability to listen and put people at ease). He is always genuinely supportive and interested in my well being. This is a rare combination.

-JS, Private Equity, New York City

 

Mike is a great accountant, who unlike all the rest is not afraid to pick up a book and find the answer instead of giving you some uselessly general unresearched answer off the top of his head. Mike knows how to evaluate a unique situation and figure out what is the best thing to do in that situation. Mike is very, very rare in his profession. Other accountants shoehorn your unique situation into their common way of doing things and ultimately end up getting you into trouble in the end. Mike actually looks at the situation and applies the rules and his experience to it logically. Then when he reaches the end of his experience, he does actual research. That is huge and rare. In my experience, there are a great many accountants who don’t even know how to research and tax lawyers who won’t research. Mike breaks this mold. He is of the highest quality.

-RT/AA, Art Gallery Owners, New York City

 

Many qualities come to mind, including his ability to instill confidence in the success and talents of clients, his commitment to client support and relations, and his enthusiasm for the entrepreneurial spirit. But I believe his most amazing talent is his wealth of knowledge about his field, and his dedication to helping his clients gain the maximum benefit from that knowledge.

Mike has a unique ability to inspire confidence, and from my perspective, this results from several things: his qualifications (being a CPA with a law degree); his impressive at hand knowledge of his craft; his laid-back demeanor (that’s particularly important considering taxes are something people get nervous about); and the results he delivers, which I know first hand (for myself and others I have referred to him), are very pleasing to his clients.

Mike is a great people person. He talks to his clients on a “human” level, being able to relate to their business problems making them feel that they’re the most important person in the room. Not your typical accountant! His top characteristics are his likeability, integrity, and trustworthiness (huge for me). Also, a good listener, he gets things done, good with figures, and he gets to the source of the problem. I can rely on Mike to deal with my issues with no sense of frustration or impatience.

-DB, Real Estate Broker/Investor, New York City and Melbourne Beach, Florida

 

The first time I met with Mike I knew I had found exactly what I needed in terms of help getting my financial life organized. He has a way of explaining very clearly things that previously seemed dauntingly complex. He has a way of guiding me through the bare minimum of what I must do and otherwise takes the entire headache of it out of my hands and gets it done . He has a way of really putting a person at ease and calming their nerves around questions of taxes and credit, reminding you to take one step at a time and that this is a learning process. I definitely walk out of Mike’s office feeling much better, and more calm, than I ever feel walking into his office. I have sent all of my closest friends to him, and each one of them has thanked me several times for hooking them up with him. He’s like a financial therapist and those of us who are highly disorganized in this area of our lives are very lucky to have him.
