Client Voices

I have been having my taxes prepared for over 7 years here! Every time I come, all the volunteers are so friendly and so helpful. It’s a blessing that I don’t have to pay to have my taxes done anymore. I don’t make a lot and each year, I used to spend well over $200. Since coming to Westbay, I have been able to save that money, which means I have more money in my account and more money to use on groceries and things I need to purchase. You people here are truly a lifesaver. I wish you all the best and keep doing what you’re doing. I am sure you help so many people; and those people are probably just as grateful as I am today.
