112: Choosing the Right Tax Professional for YOUR Specific Needs with Natalie Kolodij

Natalie Kolodij is a tax strategist. (You’ve probably seen her in the forums!) With April 15 looming around the corner, we’re going to chat about ways to choose the RIGHT tax professional who can best serve YOUR specific needs.
