International Tax Client Testimonial:
I first started working with Greg in 2000 and continue to use him as a resource today. At Columbia we have access to all of the big accounting and law firms and while those organizations are great at providing national level technical expertise, Greg also has a deep understanding of how to apply this technical knowledge in a practical implementable and sustainable way. Greg has been a valuable independent resource for helping us to weigh the technical feasibility of tax projects with the operational feasibility in order to make the best decision for our business. He has also helped us to present these findings to senior management in a way that is both highly professional but also understandable to a non-tax professional. Over the years we have had Greg review technical conclusions, draft intercompany legal agreements, and even perform reviews of structures that we have implemented. I would highly recommend Greg as a general tax and business advisor for a business and also for specific projects like those mentioned.
