Individuals and businesses facing complicated tax problems call me for help because they can expect prompt, personal attention, a careful assessment of the situation, and plain talk about options that will be cost effective and sensible. I routinely assist individuals and businesses dealing with the IRS or State taxing authorities in almost any situation including audits, an administrative or judicial appeal after an audit, or when collection activities are threatened or underway.   I have over 30 years of experience, five years with the U.S. Department of Justice representing the Internal Revenue Service and over 25 years in private practice representing individual and business clients.

I have been working in Syracuse on and off since I was a 13 year old file clerk in my Father's office.  After graduating from LeMoyne College I began my accounting career with the local firm of Dermody Burke & Brown. After 5 years with DB&B I went to Law School in California and found my way back to Syracuse to work with PriceWaterhouse Coopers.. I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to join Mackenzie Hughes LLP in 2000, and have developed a practice which focuses on advising individuals and businesses on financial matters ranging from business start ups to to succession planning and estate planning.  I also counsel not for profits on governance matters in addition to formation and dissolutions.. I live in Camillus with my husband and sons and currently am the immediate past-predisident of the Central New York Estate Planning Council.  I have also acted as a member of the LeMoyne College Board of Regents, the Samaritan Center Board and as a volunteer as numerous local charities and comunity causes including the Camillus Volunteer Fire Department.
