“We have been working with Jason for years on preparing our taxes. He is very easy to work with and is always looking out in your best interests. He stays abreast of all the changes in the tax laws to ensure accuracy in our filings. He is easily available via email, phone calls and Facebook for any questions.  We also enjoy our yearly meetings in person as he is such a nice guy to talk to. We have recommended him to several of our friends.”

“Jason did a great job. Very professional, but also down to earth. I have a background in accounting and have prepared taxes professionally in the past. I just didn’t want to mess with my own this year. He was very patient with all of my questions and I felt comfortable and assured from the first conversation I had with him that he was very well versed in his field and also very competent. His prices are very reasonable and he informed me of ways that I could minimize my cost. We will definitely be employing Jason’s services for our 2019 taxes.”

“I hired Jason to handle my corporate and personal taxes.  I have found Jason to be down-to-earth and easy to work with…something that is paramount for an accountant. It has been quite easy for me to work with Jason, ask questions and make good decisions with our taxes and financial review of my company. He has been extremely helpful and very good and working with me to understand the many of the corporate issues that are spinning out control in today’s economy.  He and I work closely together to develop a sound strategy and making good choices for my business and my family. My last accountant, although good…created some issues for us that were not acceptable. Although I have some experience with certain situations, I still need a helpful and well-informed consultant. I highly recommend Jason and look forward to a very long business relationship with him.”

“Jason and his team are very talented and a must for any company who wishes to be on the forefront of tax preparation or awareness.  As 2020 hit many of us between the eyes, I was glad to have Crace.CPA to help answer questions and also prepare me for upcoming payments.  Tax planning for any business is critical I have referred many clients to this company and will continue to do so.  Very professional and organized.  If you are building your business for success, you better have them on your team.”
