Jake and his team were super helpful and made the tax prep process really easy for me. Affordable, reliable, and efficient!

Sophia Hiigginson

Ryan was extremely helpful and helping me understand the services they offer. Although this was not the right fit for me, I will be giving Ryan’s number to my friends who could use his help.

Freddy Pabon

Absolutely loved working with Ryan! I owed money in taxes, and he was able to reduce the amount I had to pay—saving me a ton of stress and money. I can’t recommend him enough. If you need help with your taxes, Ryan’s the guy to call!

Crystal P.

Great customer service and an huge help! Russell was willing to work late into the evening to walk thru what was needed to research my issue. Russell provided an enormous amount of help and guidance all for free and even sent me a follow up text to ensure I had what I needed to resolve the issue.

R. P.

I have had tax issues for over a decade, I had not filed a tax return for several years, and I had no idea where to start. I called Integrated Financial Solutions and spoke to a gentleman who fully explained in a way I could understand how I could put the IRS behind me and not have to file a bankruptcy, sell my house, or the worries about my bank getting levied, which haunted me for years.
This group has been excellent with me, they have completed the work for a fair fee, and I am now no longer looking over my shoulder-Change my life!!

Alisa Manny

I was connected with Russell and wasn't sure what to expect because he came up on a quick google search for a tax record issue/ question. I am extremely grateful that he was the one I ended up on the phone with because he went ABOVE AND BEYOND. My situation had so many moving parts and obstacles, It took 4 months of trying to deal with it on my own banging my head against the wall and after spending the last 4 days at the IRS office to try to find a solution. Russell is very clearly an EXPERT in his field. Beyond being knowledgeable and helpful to my situation, he was extremely kind. I would recommend him to anyone in need of help with tax services and finances. 20/10

Sidharth Varma

Russell is incredible, a truly Kind human being, brilliant, with an amazing wealth of knowledge and patience! I value his thoroughness, years of experience, wisdom, professionalism and dependability. I don't have enough words to describe, how highly I recommend him & his team and anyone he works with! -Sid

Johnny Charlebois

Filing my taxes used to be a nightmare, but with their help it became a straightforward process. They went the extra mile to fix a tricky issue and even helped tidy up my records. I feel a lot more at ease when tax time rolls around now.

Judy Nagle

I had a good experience. They made sure I wasn’t left in the dark about what was going on. A couple of things took a little longer than expected, but they kept me updated along the way. It was a mostly positive experience so I would still recommend them.

Kevin Thorne

I was really scared when I found out how much I owed the IRS, and things were getting out of hand. They stepped in, helped me figure everything out, and even managed to get the amount reduced so I could pay it off bit by bit. It felt like a fresh start, and I’m very thankful for their help.

Terrell Mason

They made my tax preparation and bookkeeping super easy, explaining every part of the process in a way that even I could follow, would recommend to others.
