I found Sheena and David after a handful of absolutely dismal and destructive accountants that not only affected my business operations but also personally caused debt and fines from the IRS due to their mistakes. When I first met with Sheena, she immediately pointed out several mistakes in my business accounting and bookkeeping that I saw immediately how professional and proficient she was. I... also met with David, who helped me with several backlogged personal taxes woes from my prior accountants mistakes. North Star's entire team helped me immediately, explained exactly what I needed to know (without fire-hosing me with unnecessary data) to be informed, and fixed every-single issue and put my anxieties at ease. Their knowledge for this field of work has great depth and breadth, and their passions, their entire staff I've interfaced with, is and continues to be palpable. They clearly love what they do and want us business owners and personal tax seekers to be focused on what counts - abiding by tax laws and not having to over pay!The team I have been assigned is both efficient and effective in their respective roles - bookkeeping, payroll, personal/business taxes, financial advice, etc. Once you are set up with them it is smooth sailing; in my case I requested a more hands-off approach and it has been nothing but stress-free accounting help! And I have to say, they have done an admirable job of navigating not overwhelming me yet keeping me fully abreast of everything I should and need to know. They clearly excel at what they do, and I trust them fully. They've been my accountant for a handful of years and I've never been upset with them - and if I had a hiccup happen, they immediately rectified it, owned it, apologized profusely, and fixed it before I barely had a chance to even have to worry. If anything they under-promise and exceedingly over-deliver - which is a true blessing and speaks to their abilities and mission for our community.I couldn't recommend them more! If you are needing a new accountant that you can work with both remotely and/or in-person, hire them! I am super happy with their services, owners, and team, they're pretty exceptional at what they do :D! Choose North Star if you expect to be treated professionally and with a personal flare, to receive the best service, and be charged fairly. They're pretty awesome đŸ˜€read more

North Star (Christopher Lopez) has been nice to work with. A lot of people don't understand that the field of accounting has changed radically over the past few years. Where there once were a few changes a year, now the laws are changing quickly, sometimes inter-year. Pandemic relief efforts and rules have added to the complexities.Chris handled all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. We... both really care about getting it right and I appreciate that!read more

Cannot say enough good things about Northstar!! Kimberly is incredible and and explains everything in detail. Our previous accounting firm does NOT remotely compare to Northstar.

I have been a client of North Star Tax & Accounting for a couple years now, and in particular, deal principally with David Romano.I continue to be impressed with the excellent professional and friendly treatment I receive. David always makes me feel as though I am his largest client and he is always prepared when we have meetings set up for tax advice.David’s feedback often goes beyond... strictly tax implications and he will provide meaningful and thoughtful insight and options regarding my investment portfolio; always giving me something to think about.I live in Tacoma and prefer face to face meetings. It is clearly worth my time and effort to travel North and to visit with David.Frank Whitemaineread more

We worked with Kristin Breeden and we cannot recommend her enough. Our taxes are complicated and the process was so easy. She got us every deduction and gave us total peace of mind. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Northstar Tax and Accounting for several years now. Sheena has been so helpful in navigating tax paperwork for me and her team has always been very professional, respectful, and super prompt with any questions I might have. I cannot recommend them enough! I recently worked with David regarding some finance questions and he also has blown me away with his attention to detail and... customer service. I look forward to working with them for many more years to come.read more

David and his exceptional staff helped us navigate a very challenging business sale this year. We had previously been on top of our own federal taxes with minimal help. But this year, having to read through a difficult and competitive contract for a business sale, we needed someone like David who had the knowledge and expertise to understand and advise us as how to proceed through the sale and... then how to manage the tax implications. David, has an impressive background, yet is fair in his pricing. He always followed through with communication, continued to let us know how he was proceeding and gave us an impressive timeline for completion. We are so pleased to have someone of this caliber in Snohomish!read more

NorthStar Accounting is rock solid. I have a very complicated return with multiple income streams and other complications and they always get it figured out with ease. They also do an amazing job strategizing with me as to the right path whenever I have options to choose from. After several great returns, my family is now a client for life now.

I reached out to David Romano at North Star Tax & Accounting earlier this year to assist my company (international public company) with implementing some of the provisions of the CARES act. Working with him and the team at North Star was a pleasure and the results brought significant value to the company. I'd definitely work with the firm again and I'd feel completely comfortable recommending... them. Tax and accounting are often very client specific. If they aren't the right partner for you or your company I trust that they would be the first to acknowledge that and do their best to recommend another service provider if that is the case.read more
