"I thought all I needed was TurboTax. What I needed was an accountant that can do more than just crunch numbers. Dave took the time to understand my financial situation and provided advice which saved me in taxes. Now I'm starting a new business and, needless to say, I have a ton of questions. Dave explained the different business entities and the tax benefit/consequence of each one. Looking forward, I know I'll have a ton more questions, but I know that I can rely on Christiansen Russell Christiansen CPAs to assist me through the process." - Joseph Lee
