Report
I found that my normal tax accountant did not give a lot of advice or knew enough of the more complex tax legislation to give more comprehensive tax planning advice. I started consulting with Adam and Marie from O'Connells OBM after we saw the great job they did for our law firm's high net wealth clients. I would highly recommend their professional services which are reasonably priced.
