“ No Need to Worry”

My husband and I were married last year, and we were concerned about how it would affect the way we filed our taxes. We didn't need to worry with Mariette on the job, however. She was efficient and informative and very organized. We will continue to use Blaze Tax Services from here on out.

“A True Professional”

Mariette is a true professional but also it is obvious she is very much for the consumer. She is honest and up front with details of cost and what the consumer has to do for relief. She cares about her clients. She is ethical and timely in the service she provides. I has several years of non filed taxes and she helped me out of the mess rapidly and successfully. She is a true guider and advocate.

“Expert Knowledge of the Ins and Outs of the Tax System”

We LOVE Mariette. This is the second year my husband and I have worked with her on our taxes. Last year was our first time using a tax professional. We had both gotten new jobs with significantly different salaries, had gotten married, and had purchased our first home, so we wanted to find someone to help guide us through a suddenly more complicated tax process.

Mariette is just so professional, personable, and makes us feel comfortable and confident that our taxes are in good hands. Every time we have met with her, she has come to our house on a weekend which is unbelievably convenient. She even loves getting (LOTS) of attention from our two dogs! She does a great job with the taxes, explaining the process and presenting us with a really nice bound portfolio of our return and all the worksheets that go along with it. Plus, we have had great luck with refunds both years, which I attribute to Mariette's expert knowledge of the ins and outs of the tax system.

We cannot recommend her highly enough and are definitely planning to work with her in the future.

“Good Thoughts and Advice”

I called to discuss my tax needs and get an approximate idea of the cost of the services I need. Mariette was great. She had good thoughts and advice right away. Based on her clear goodwill and helpfulness, I will try to find a way to work with her.

“Makes Tax Prep a Breeze”

Mariette is wonderful! She is really easy to work with, and she is incredibly knowledgeable about tax laws/regulations. Mariette makes the tax preparation process a breeze - I actually look forward to tax season every year!

“Produces Astonishing Results”

If you need a personal return or are a small business who needs your taxes done you need to call Blaze Tax Services! Mariette is an outstanding individual with a strong character and a love of her work. She has the ability to explain the nuances of the tax code to anyone and even make the entire process enjoyable - which would otherwise seem impossible when you think about needing to do taxes. She is organized, motivated and I have seen her produce astonishing results on complex returns which required a great attention to detail - even on a tight time frame. Additionally, she has a very positive attitude that is truly infectious. Once you go Blaze, you will never even think of going anywhere else.

“Likable and No-Nonsense”

Mariette is great. She's a true professional in that she knows what she'd doing and she respects her clients, and she hasn't an awesome, personable approach. It was a big deal to me that she worked our meeting into my schedule and met me at a location that was convenient for me. Also, she believes in putting together your taxes in a hard copy binder, which isn't an industry standard.

Mariette also works with a lot of different types of customers, so she has experience with businesses and individuals. Most importantly, she is a fantastic blend of easy to talk to, likeable, and no-nonsense.

I think it's well worth it to give her a call on tax and accounting matters.

“Thorough and Attentive”

I had a complex tax situation where I needed thorough and accurate counsel and assistance. As a small business owner and a single parent, just the thought of having to dive into a multi-layered tax project on my own, which I had little experience in, felt overwhelming.

Mariette took time and great care to ask detailed questions, so that she had a clear understanding of why I'd reached out to her. She also was very patient in answering all my questions and then carefully walked me through each step necessary that would best support me and my specific needs.

As small business coach and consultant, I strive to provide the kind of professional, thorough and attentive service Mariette offered me. I highly recommend her and delighted to now be able to share her expertise and services with my own clients.

“Showed Me What I Did Wrong”

I have done my own taxes for years, but I purchased my first home this year and was a bit worried. I went back and forth on if I should have it done professionally, but a friend recommended her. Mariette didn't just do my taxes she showed what I did wrong in my first draft! Very cool! I even got a nice little book when it was all done.

I have a VERY nice return coming this year. ^__^

“Fun to Work With!”

I had just started my business and needed a new accountant - Mariette was recommended to me. Mariette patiently helped me through all of the new information I needed to be aware of, and was very fair with her time. She is also fun to work with! That's a lot to be said as we all know taxes aren't that fun. I will definitely be back with a pile of papers in tow.

— Alissa P., Portland OR

“Really Knows Her Business”

Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Mariette is professional and really knows her business.

She was able to explain all the questions I had during the process and she was willing to come to me to get the materials needed to address my taxes!

Very professional service and would recommend to anyone needing tax work.
