As a software company, it’s critical that we have a handle on our tax exposure in states across the country. Fortunately, we’ve found a great partner in MFA. From setting up state registrations to conducting customer outreach on our behalf, we rely on them to provide a complete assessment of our exposure and ongoing support and compliance to minimize future risk. They are responsive to my questions, give thoughtful advice, and ultimately leave me with complete confidence that we’re doing what we’re supposed to do. I can’t ask for better service than what I get from MFA.

They not only helped with our financial statement audit and recommended great tax strategies, but they also dug into things like our company structure, employment arrangements, system and software needs, etc. And all along the way, they continually came up with ideas and solutions we had never even considered. Working with MFA has been such a great partnership. It’s obvious they really care about us and our business. They are extremely responsive, personable and passionate about what they do – helping business owners like me.

As business owner, I tend to get engrossed in the day-to-day and planning for the future often takes a backseat. But through my partnership with The MFA Companies, I now have a team on my side, looking at my business from a 3, 5, and 7-year horizon. They’ve got broad expertise and have brought many innovative ideas to the table. They aren’t just doing my taxes, they’ve got their eyes on my future and are constantly looking for opportunities to reduce my tax liability, improve profitability and stimulate growth. Relationships are hugely important to me and at the end of the day, I know I can trust the team at MFA. They’re proactive – always checking in on me and my business – that gives me confidence and puts me at ease. MFA is a great firm.
