Paul Marshall, Beloved Tax Preparer, Passes Away

Paul Marshall passed away on March 4th, 2020.  He was beloved by his clients, and, as his daughter, I'm grateful to have learned tax preparation from him, working behind the scenes for many years.  My first job was working for my father as his secretary when I was 18 in Punta Gorda. Now, I'm blessed to continue the business he started all those years ago and continue his legacy of service from the heart. Thank you for sticking with us during this time of transition.
