With international dealings, not all CPA firms are created equal. Frustrated with complicated and inaccurate advise by our previous CPA, we were referred to HLB Gross Collins. HLB has been there to get to know who we are and to help us grow along the way by making suggestions and referrals that work for our business. No question is too small or large, all receive respectful and timely replies. The personal, reliable and professional services that Iliana and HLB staff have provided has been beyond measure, in the more than 11 years since we made the change.

As a new client of HLB Gross Collins, we have found ourselves extremely happy and satisfied with the quality of services offered. Their knowledge, follow-up, timeliness, and organization is superior to those I have seen in the past. They understand the value of building relationships with their clients. All questions and inquiries are answered in a timely manner either via email or phone and they are always willing to accommodate urgent requests. I would highly recommend HLB Gross Collins CPA's to any individual or business for their tax preparation, consulting, and business needs. We look forward to a continued relationship!
