I pay US and UK Taxes. Previously I had a London based accounting company prepare my taxes. The company then merged with another one and the service became very costly and untimely.Two years ago I moved my accounts to DSBurge. I am extremely happy with them and I wish I discovered them years earlier. Highly professional, very efficient and deliver my completed tax statements literally at a fraction of the previous company.Kieran Burge responds quickly and efficiently to my frequent queries. I have already recommended him to friends and other family members. I highly recommend DSBurge and Co for who ever reads this post.
