All I did was to make a deposit of $500 into my trading account and with the help of Mrs Lilian Wilson, I got a profit of $6,200 in 7 days. Now I understand why they are so many recommendations about her. You can contact her via👇👇👇 email:lilianwilson220@gmail.com WhatsApp:+1 (315) 696-7425 More...

My wife and I filed our taxes with SWM Planning and ended up saving almost three thousand dollars compared to what we would have owed using Turbo Tax. Also, the service was amazing and the turnaround time was very fast. I highly recommend to anyone who needs assistance filing their taxes. More...

Something told me that hiring Ebe will be the best move for me to file this year. I have had some bad experiences with previous tax preparers but Ebe took his time to explain everything to me to make sure that I get the return I deserve. He made sure that I had all the proper documentation to complete my return. He made the process easy and stress-free. He even got a higher return for me compared to last year. I really appreciate you helping me complete my taxes. I definitely will be keeping him for other financial preparation. More...

I hired SWM Planning to file my taxes; normally, I do them myself but with me starting my business in 2017, I wanted to ensure that everything was done correctly. Not only did Ebe maximize my refund by ensuring that I didn’t miss any exemptions, he educated me along the process as well. He supplied me with tips on how to track my profits and losses and educated me on how to effectively manage my expenses. I will be hiring SWM Planning not only for filing my taxes yearly, but for CPA services as well. More...

Ebe has a deep and extensive knowledge of the complexities of self-directed 401ks and IRAs as well as retirement plan regulations and financial planning. His service is fast, reliable and affordable and his financial coaching skills are top notch. After whipping up a financial planner for me, my savings account increased by 10% while my spending habits decreased by 15%. I’d definitely recommend ebe to anyone who’s looking for financial coaching, credit building, and financial advising. More...

I save money doing my taxes and get the allowable refund back. You will love his services and tell all your family and friends. I had a personal experience not just talking because his my son. I did taxes with other tax preparer before he started doing taxes and was suppose to pay back last year from a reputable company. But when i went to my son last year, i got back money instead of paying back what others told me i was owing over $500. I will never use anyone else but SWM. You save and never had to pay back, thats the real deal. More...

What I appreciate most about SWM Planning is Ebe’s commitment to integrity and excellence. He took time to review my finances, and be straight with me about actions I need to take to achieve my goals. I’ve been able to save more with the financial plan he created for me, and even got items removed from my credit report! But it took taking and maintaining a close look at my finances. I highly recommend his services. I’ve also been going to Ebe for my taxes for three years. Very pleased. More...

Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
For the owner to have the best financial information regarding his/her business' performance. This prevents businesses from going bankrupt because they know which risks they can afford to take. Businesses can also adjust properly if they know the exact financial condition, financial health of their organization. Professional accounting also makes the business more credible to investors and banks, improves chances of new financing.
What do you love most about your job?

What inspired you to start your own business?
Passion to have autonomy and help people in my own way!

I genuinely care about them having a great experience.
-All great reviews (fb, yelp) and strive to wow every client with service and delivery.
-Fully qualified and have nearly 10 years of accounting experience/training. Multiple years of experience with multi-billion dollar public companies and with the 1 person entrepreneur - I can use my knowledge of how the big companies do it to give you top service and reports.
-Licensed CPA with no complaints and who you can get justice against by filing a complaint (which you will NEVER have to do!). If a person is not a CPA, then you have much less power to impact their career from filing a complaint.
