CLIENTS OF THE MONTH: THE BURL FAMILY

I have the privilege of introducing you to the Burl family: May, Michael, and their kids, Elizabeth and David. I’ve known the Burls for more than a decade now and love seeing them each year! The family moved to the U.S. from the U.K. and settled in northeastern Ohio. Michael is a scientist and has worked for a number of high-profile companies. May, who is originally from France, went back to school to earn a bachelor’s degree in accounting, all while working as a staff accountant and raising two beautiful, smart, well-adjusted kids! Both kids attended Ohio University on scholarships and graduated with engineering degrees. David got a prestigious job offer from IBM right out of college. Liz held hard-to-get internships with Google while in college, and was offered and accepted a job with them in San Francisco right after graduation. This past fall, David also got a job offer from Google and moved out west. My first in-person meeting with Liz was right after she graduated and was about to start working for Google. She asked her mom to drive her to my office to meet me in person — she felt she needed a CPA now that she had graduated and was working full time! How responsible and proactive is that? We talked about how we could

work together remotely, what

record-keeping she needed to do, and what tax-saving opportunities were out there for a young professional holding a W-2 job. I love how down- to-earth, kind, and hardworking the Burls are! They have smiles on their faces

each time we see each other, they come to their tax appointments prepared, and I get to hear stories about Liz and David’s exciting life at Google.

Michael, May, Liz, and David, thank you for being such good clients! I wish all four of you a great summer. See you next year!
