Report
Rachel and her team have been a incredibly helpful in the preparation and filing of my US tax returns and FBAR submissions, even when I have been less than fully organised. The team are always prompt and professional. They stay abreast of changes in annual tax rulings and have helped me secure rebates or stimulus payments where these are due. I highly recommend this company.

Report
My association with Finch & Associates has been a positive one. Their attention to detail and thoroughness has been impressive. Communications in person, online and on the phone have been helpful and expedient, and their patience with my last-minute submission of forms takes pressure off the proceedings. I imagine that they are "good value" but I have yet to compare with other accountants.

I have used Rachel's services for many years. She and her team have guided me through the complicated processes of US taxes as an expat, and stayed on top of any changes in filing rules. H
