“I felt more secure with Mr. Mulder's work. He asked pertinent questions about our business, did relevant research regarding peculiarities of our operation, and gave clear, concise explanations in understandable language. He keeps it simple with no fluff or fillers... I also take comfort in the way he pre-emptively calls for periodic reviews to make sure that our estimates are on track – he is able to extract valuable information from these reviews which have not only helped with tax planning, but also with operating the business most efficiently.”
