I have worked with many accountants and tax professionals over the years in both my business and personal life, but have never found one that is as knowledgeable in the tax code, as professional and methodical in his dealings, and as easy to deal with and pleasant as Alan is. No offense to accountants and tax professionals, but I no longer dread having to talk to someone about my taxes, or worse yet, listen to them tell me more than I ever wanted to know about taxes. Alan handles it all, does it with exceptional accuracy and detail, and without making it a painful experience. I’d highly recommend Alan Vogel with no reservations…

Alan Vogel has been performing all of the accounting and tax preparation work for Creekside Management Group DBA Creekside Beer, and Creekside Logistics Services for the past three years. He has demonstrated the ability to handle the most complex transactions we have seen, has been able to simplify and streamline several of our back-office processes related to accounting, inventory, and reporting, as well as guide us through a change in our organizational structure for tax reporting as the business grew and flourished. In the several years of operation as a small business, we have not found anyone who is as knowledgeable in corporate accounting as Alan, with such an eye to detail, and exceptional follow up skills. We would recommend Alan to anyone in need of such services with no qualms.

Route Step Delivery uses Alan for all our accounting and tax preparation needs. His knowledge of business taxes was invaluable to our set-up and his projections have helped us plan our future financial goals. With Alan’s attention on our business’ accounting details, we are free to focus our attention on all of the other aspects of our business. To say that Alan Vogel has earned our trust is an understatement. The success of Route Step Delivery could not have been accomplished without Alan Vogel’s accounting expertise and sound advice.

This year we needed to find a new tax professional so I contacted our financial advisor for a recommendation. He put me in touch with Alan at Vertrauen Consulting. Alan was great to work with. He answered all of my small business questions and went over all of the filings. I usually dread doing taxes but this year it was much much easier and we were able to do everything online which was a plus.
