  • When I started my business in 2011, I interviewed three different accountants.  Anna answered all my questions and explained everything in a way that was easy for me to understand.  She made me feel comfortable and confident in her.  I get e-mail reminders when deadlines approach with information about what her staff needs from me.  Anna always responds quickly and takes the time to answer my question in detail. Her strategies over the years have saved me money.  I would highly recommend Anna Talac!

  • I don't know what I would do without the help of Anna Talac, our CPA since 2010. She handles our bookkeeping and she keeps me and the business on track all year round, with reminders of when forms are due, help with the quarterly filings, and of course, the yearly corporate and personal income tax. Anna is very detail-oriented which is very helpful to me. She helped set up our payroll and bookkeeping system, and handles the financials so that I am free to concentrate on the parts of the business that I am good at, while knowing the financials are in capable hands.
