Report
HBR Tax and Accounting Services are superb! Rafik is friendly, professional, proficient, and experienced. He is well versed in tax law, and is very patient while helping those of us who aren't able to manage our own taxes. Rafik has been doing our family taxes for years now, we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Rafik is professional, excellent at communication, and a pleasure to deal with. He sorted out my overdue personal and corporate taxes, plus years worth of cryptocurrency gains for an excellent price. Highly recommended.

Report
Rafik did an excellent job of our business and personal taxes for 2017... and for a reasonable fee as well. Businesslike and also incredibly friendly and genuine, he's great at explaining what needs done, and knows what he's doing to boot (probably the most important part, lol). Came to him because of a strong recommendation from a colleague and would highly recommend his services for my part as well!
