Kershaw & Associates, Inc

I love the Kershaws!
Here’s the scoop.
If you are at all concerned about whether or not your accounting or tax prep is accurate you need professional assistance.
And if you are at all concerned about whether or not the professional assistance you seek is up to par… you are not working with the Kershaws.
For over a decade the Kershaws have been my secret weapon against accidentally paying too much or making filing mistakes. And it goes further than that. The Kershaws actually care about you and your business personally and take the time to really help you. Alan and his staff have offered great business council and friendship over the years and I am truly grateful.
Thank you, Kershaw & Associates!

The Kershaw’s were recommended to me by a friend and I have been eternally grateful ever since. I have recommended them to several other people. My friends would interview several other accounting firms to make sure they were getting the right one and they have always chose Jane and Alan. They have prepared my taxes which have been somewhat complex over the years. These complexities have included overseas income and taxes, estate taxes, LGBT issues and business expenses. Their advise has been very helpful and has allowed me to take full advantage of all of the deductions available.

We were recommended to Alan Kershaw several years ago when selling our business. We were honestly unsure of what to do at that point and had to rely and trust Alan to guide us through the process. We are grateful to Alan and the entire team for educating us. Their expertise has such great value. They are always willing to answer questions and are quick to respond. Great teamwork with great people!

I’ve been working with Kershaw & Associates since 2008. Jane and Dawn have both filed for me and do an excellent job! It’s clear both ladies really personally care about me and my quality of life. I have two jobs, both 1099 and boy do they help keep me organized and stress free! Cindy who sits at the front office is an absolute doll and keeps me on track with her friendly reminders. In my opinion it’s worth every penny!

I have been using Jane for about 10 years after being referred by a relative when I relocated to this area. Best team I have ever worked with… if I ever relocated I would still use Jane and her team. I have referred numerous friends and my own clients with the utmost of confidence.
Many thanks to Jane and her team!

My parents originally referred me to Jane many years ago and I am so happy they did! We love Jane and her team. They are the most thorough, knowledgeable and patient tax team we have ever used. We went to someone else for a couple years and it was a disaster. My wife and I came back to Jane with our tail between our legs and her team whipped us into shape!

They are incredible people. Very honest, very professional (and a little bit Portland quirky). They give honest assessments of your taxes plus tax/​lifestyle advice. I’ve been with then for about 20 years and save about $ 2000/​year from what I would by using the simple form. The government likes a person to take advantage of certain tax rules that hardly anyone knows about. I’ve known people that go to other tax people that do not advise them like the Kershaw’s do. They are family owned and are very cool

My father recommended Alan Kershaw to me – what? Over 15 years ago? Back when I first went into business for myself as a solo freelance professional. Ever since, I have increasingly valued the value of Kershaw & Assoc. in helping me to keep my business running.
I’m not the most organized guy around, and I’m frankly horrible about tracking paperwork and financial stuff. Alan and his team have always shown me the highest levels of patience and courtesy. Like any good tax team, they’re not cheap, but the time they save me – never mind the benefits that come with having someone expertly versed in tax laws and opportunities helping to prepare my information — amounts to far more every year than I could ever hope to achieve by doing it myself or going to some mass produced filing outfit.
Moreover, I count Alan and his crew as friends, and they have provided me with excellent advice over the years at key moments of difficulty or transition in my career. To be fair, I have never used another tax service, but my experience with them has been so overwhelmingly positive that I hope I never will.
