Hands down, the best tax and bookkeeping experience I’ve ever had.

Barb and her team at Apex Tax made me feel so welcome from the jump—and trust me, my taxes and books were a hot mess express when I walked in. I never once felt judged or overwhelmed. Instead, they took their time, broke things down in a way I could understand, and even showed me how to use the software so I could stay on top of things on my own.

Barb went above and beyond, helping me clean up 3 years’ worth of backlogged chaos. She’s patient, kind, and truly understanding—like talking to your smart, no-nonsense big sis who’s got your back and won’t let you fail.

The best part? It was a one-on-one experience. I didn’t feel like just another number in line. Barb made me feel like I was her only client, giving me her full attention every step of the way.

If you’re struggling with taxes, bookkeeping, or just need someone who actually cares, I 100% recommend Apex Tax. You’ll walk in stressed and walk out relieved—and maybe even a little smarter too.
