      From start to finish my husband and I were thoroughly impressed by the quality of customer service. Glenn and his team were more than willing to take all the time necessary to walk us through the process. They were able to give us the clarity and information that we needed to file our taxes accurately and to maximize our return which is a process can be very confusing especially as a new business owner. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Definitely highly recommend GTP Tax services!
