Richard Ziegler is a former IRS Tax Examiner, and he and his staff bring more than 40 years of combined accounting experience to the work. He personally reviews every return before it is filed, and the office has built its practice around helping individuals and small businesses reduce their tax burden in the same way he saw wealthier filers do during his years examining returns. For clients whose questions fall outside the firm's expertise, the staff refers them to professionals who can help, and the firm encourages clients to follow its Facebook page for ongoing tax related updates and filing reminders.

The office sits at 944 Montauk Highway, Suite A in Shirley, and can be reached by phone at (631) 293-1040, with weekday hours from 10am to 6pm. Clients describe the work as professional, honest, and thorough, with several longtime customers noting that Mr. Ziegler takes the time to ask situation specific questions rather than rushing through the return, and that the level of personal attention is what keeps them coming back year after year.
