Stone CPA introduces tax coaching service

Frisco — Frisco CPA Larry Stone has announced he has added tax coaching to his firm's services. The new service gives clients a plain-English plan for beating the IRS — legally.

“Traditional tax ‘planning' crunches numbers to illustrate ‘what-if' scenarios based on future assumptions,” said Larry Stone. “It gives clients dry numbers, in more detail than they need or want. But clients don't want numbers. Clients want savings.”
