A note on fit

A relationship‑first practice, on purpose.

We're not a high‑volume firm and we don't try to be. Spencer and our team take on a limited number of new clients each year so the work stays personal and response times stay fast.

For very large corporations or specialized international tax beyond a typical expat return, we'll happily refer you to someone we trust.
