“I have been using the services of Main Street Tax and Accounting for over 10 years now. I can do everything over the phone or internet, which makes it very simple for me. Denise really looks out for what is best for me and my family. On more than one occasion she has went beyond what a normal accountant would do to make sure my finances and planning were in a good situation. She is a great accountant and has become a good friend over the years.”
