M. L. Perry, CPA

Hiring a CPA to do your taxes, consult on finances, and provide guidance should be taken seriously, of course. You have options: commodity-​level houses, small businesses, or the Big Four. If you have Big Four money, you’re not reading this. That leaves small biz or your chains. If you’re on Unilocal,*clearly* you support small businesses. So let’s talk about this one.
Mark Perry was a recommendation made to me when I worked for the Big T way back in the mid 90s. I found him to be personable and professional, and he handled my tax situation thoroughly. What struck me as special was how he took time — an hour — to discuss my situation and plans. I retained his services for a number of years, and recently re-​engaged his services for a complicated problem. We picked up right where we left off, thoroughly professional and just as personable as I recalled. He truly cared about me as a person, and that’s invaluable. Where do you find this today?
I’ve always been a believer in finding true professionals with some heart. A reliable, honest plumber is a find. No less so for a doctor, a lawyer, a CPA. You have to look, but they’re out there. This is my CPA, and he’s my choice for any financial questions or problems, bar none.
