We are pleased to announce the merger of CFM Tax Solutions and RWS Financial Group. Due to health factors, this will be Earl’s last year in the tax industry. Our new business entity consists of Earl McMahan and Matt Studt, who were previously with CFM Tax Solutions, as well as two new tax consultants, Jim Nygord and Jerry Assenmacher.
We assure you that your tax preparation will be handled with the utmost care and consideration and will be prepared to your highest satisfaction, not only this year but into the future as well.
We look forward to meeting with you and preparing your taxes!
Sincerely,
Earl, Matt, Jim, and Jerry
