2011 News!  We, at Brenda W. Smith & Company, CPAs, have much to be excited about this year.    For the 2nd year in a row we were listed as a "5 Star Wealth Manager" in the area of Taxation by Hour Magazine. This designation ranks us in the top 7% of wealth managers in the Detroit Area in Overall Customer Satisfaction.   As part of your comprehensive tax service we will be providing a complementary  financial checkup. Plan to spend 10 minutes with one of our advisors, before or after your appointment, or when you pickup your return.       Jessie Mehl, CPA,  and Brad Gilliatt, EA, have both continued to update their skills earning new  professional designations.   Lisa Dawson has joined the firm as an administrative assistant.
