Need a tax man?

I just got back from my annual visit to Pistol Pete, our tax man. Most of the year he goes by the more scholarly "F.J. Peters, EA" but right around this time he morphs into Pistol Pete, the best tax man ever. Not only is he thinking of you all year (he sends out quarterly newsletters with tax tips and things to keep in mind when you are saving paperwork) but he also is awesome at finding interesting things that you didn't know you could save you money.

Visiting his house is a treat. He was in the army through Vietnam and into the 80's, and has all sorts of medals and papers and photos all over the walls. There are mementos from his travels in every nook of every hallway and room.

So, if you haven't done your taxes yet and are looking for a very reasonably priced preparer, Pete is your man. I probably could do our taxes with turbo tax, but to be honest it's worth the peace of mind that a professional is taking care of it. And I like Pete. :) His number is 425.481.9361.
