Inexpensive Tax Accountants in Detroit and Macomb County

I really prefer doing my own taxes. That way I don’t have to let anyone but the IRS know about my poor math skills and I don’t have to share my refund. Sometimes though, you find you need to use a form that not only can you not understand, you cannot even interpret the instructions. Here are 3 suggestions in Detroit's Macomb County:

Steve Wrathell, C.P.A., P.C., has a very small, yet remarkably loyal client base. Located at 24240 Mound Rd, Ste. 2, Warren 586-757-0583, his modest office is a bit unkempt but somehow fits the profile of the man. When you first meet him in that environ it seems unlikely that you want to entrust your grossly underpaid wages to him, but as you get to know him, you find that he is most adept at finding legal loopholes and little known deductions.

Steve deplores the dishonesty that runs amok in the accounting/tax world and fights that injustice far beyond the call of duty. If you cannot find your paperwork, he will help you to track it. If you need a lot of questions answered, you may find yourself as his dinner guest. And, get this, should you have so many problems that you cannot sign the “X” until April 15, not only will he pay the postage, he will often take it to the post office himself.

He schedules appointments by his clients’ hours, and often entertains them with incredible stories of Detroit and its environs since he is a native of the area. And, by the way, Steve is a huge football fan. The way he can calculate the odds in a college game is unbelievable. What does this have to do with taxes? Maybe nothing; and then again maybe he can do the math.


What can I say about the local H & R Block located at 34642 Van Dyke, Sterling Heights (586-795-4850)? The same thing I have noticed in the H&R’s in every other area I have lived. Ho-hum.
