    The folks at tax ninja are independent artists of warfare. Zoe diced my miserable earnings and created a document that procured a fortune. In 45 minutes. Last minute? No problem! Calm and welcoming? Check. Worth every penny? You betcha. Will never let any accountant and/or samurai into my finances.

    I've known the Tax Ninja for over 10 years and if you have complicated tax problems
    Matt can solve them in minutes. He makes doing taxes completely painless, and really knows a lot about helping people who work in the art world. Super secret hint if you bring him a sandwich hell probably comp you something.

    Matt is a lifesaver. My wife and I had a complicated situation when we moved from another state after selling our business. He stepped up and told me "here's what we need to do, then everything will be back on track". Matt ended months of stress and worry and got us squared away. Thanks, Ninja!

    Before Tax Ninja, I did my taxes on my own through an online service. It was something I loathed every year like most people. With Tax Ninja, I have a partner instead of a service. I get valuable advice about how to increase my deductions. Without a doubt, I get a bigger refund each year with TN and I learn a lot from the experience. It's an investment I recommend!

    Outstanding organization and tax preparation service. My wife and I worked with Mike Karatov and this was, hands down, the best tax preparation process I've ever dealt with. He actually made it enjoyable with his sense of humor, easygoing nature, his experience and knowledge, as well as his preparation before we sat down to complete the filing.

    For me, Mike's legal and accounting background really made a difference for us. Between selling a house, getting married, and different jobs we had a lot to go through, and Mike was both very patient and helpful along the way and I feel helped maximize our return this year (which is always a great outcome when doing taxes).

    We will definitely be using Tax Ninja next year as well. I highly recommend their services!
