Fisher, Barkanic, and Ames is a tax specialty firm because we believe that in this manner, your needs and objectives can best be served. By channeling all our expertise and energy into tax work, we can treat all of our personal and business clients to the quality of service that large, national firms might render to their biggest corporate and individual clients. We are focused on saving you money, and on providing for your secure future. When and if the need arises, we confidently refer our clients to other qualified firms with expertise in auditing, business management advisory services, and others.

Our reputation as top tax practitioners is constantly acknowledged. For example, we have helped a leading national tax preparation software company refine its tax products. Also, a number of CPA firms retain Fisher, Barkanic & Ames, LLC to assist with tax planning work on behalf of their clients. Dozens of other CPA firms have purchased our own, self-developed year-end tax planning guide. And perhaps most importantly, our clients, as well as attorneys and other professionals with whom we work, have the confidence in us to continually refer new clients to our Firm.

But this list cannot begin to describe the scope and depth of our service. Woven throughout all of these services is a capacity to analyze complex issues and individual goals and objectives, and bring them all together into a meaningful focus. This takes experience, technical skill, and understanding. These are not functions which can be performed without the benefit of a personal relationship with a client. They are functions which demonstrate, time and again, the individual caring and attention that go into every task we perform for you.
