Accountant reccomendation

Can anyone recommend a compassionate and skilled accountant to help me complete my taxes? They are a bit too challenging to do using a tax software. Female preferred.

How complicated is your tax situation & why do you think that it is hard to do?

I help do free returns to low-income folks. I am passionate about what I do, have compassion, and have done thousands of returns over the last 10+ years. But, I am not female.

Why the double-standard?
Be Balanced. Be Diversified. Stay Invested.

Sorry to offend. I am looking for empathy and listening skills.

Not offended; just curious by your comment which implies that males can't be empathetic or listen well? Have you had a bad experience?

It's simply similar to preferring a female doctor.

So, u need a compassionate and skilled female tax accountant to do your taxes. Off hand, I can only think of my wife who could fit into the above descriptions. LOL. But she has retired and only prepares my taxes.

Seriously though, you may wish to call any medium or big CPA (chartered accountant) firms and make an appointment to see a female tax accountant to do your taxes. I do think they are all professional and dedicated, if not compassionate. The truth is that personal taxes are usually simple, and any accountant with a professional designation (particularly chartered accountant) can do a decent job. On the other hand, the corporation taxes involving reorganizations and international tax plannings are more complicated, and they require more skilled tax specialists in a few big CPA firms.
