It is my sincere pleasure to give the highest possible recommendation for Pete Shah, a great accountant, a great professional, and a great human being. If you are lucky enough to get this man to be your accountant, I guarantee you will sleep better, breath easier, and bless your very lucky stars. Quite simply, the man is incredible.

I have known Pete since 1989. He was my client for many years and now I am his. During this time I have had the opportunity to get to know his character well. Pete is truly dedicated to his work and welfare of his clients. He is honest, conscientious, and a person of the highest integrity. He knows the tax code inside and out and is a consummate accountant. On numerous occasions, Pete has gone to great lengths to help me and my family through some difficult financial and tax planning. He has earned my deepest respect.

Mr. P. K. Shah, MS, CPA, has been our accountant since 1986 when he first began preparing our business and personal income tax returns.

Our first association with Mr. Shah was 4 years after we had started our water conditioning business, THE WATER MAN & COMPANY. For the next 6 years, Mr. Shah continued to guide, direct, and advise us in our personal and business financial planing and in the restructuring of our debt. Today we are debt-free.

It has been an honor to be Mr. Shah's clients. At all times he has been honest, professional, extremely ethical and friendly. He has continually represented the IRS and other legal entities with the utmost respect. Mr. Shah has never broken our confidentiality.

When we began our business ten years ago we were undercapitalized. We had just purchased our first home, and were determined to be successful in our business venture. After many years of struggling, we finally took Mr. Shah's advice to sell our business to an existing company that had the resources to work it.

Mr. Shah advised us in the negotiations and we had an Agreement on the Sale of the Business and a deposit check within 20 days of putting it on the market. With the down payment check, we paid off all existing business debts. We will be receiving a monthly payment for the next five years on a Promissory Note secured by a Deed of Trust.

Mr. Shah also gave us options regarding the sale of our home and relocation to another state. Once the house was listed with the Realtor, it sold in a month. Again, Mr. Shah contacted us and gave us some options regarding the equity we earned in the sale of our home.

It is with joy that we highly recommend Mr. P. K. Shah for any career advancements in the field of Financial Planning and Consulting.

We have always had, and will continue to have complete confidence in his skills.

I am very happy to recommend Mr. P. K. Shah for the designation of certified financial planner. My association with Mr. Shah dates back to 1984. He has had involvement with three different ventures I operated. I use the word involvement because he is much more than just an accountant. Mr. Shah really cares about his clients, he acts as an advisor, short and long-term planner, and a good friend.

I'm sure you have seen the children's television show "Mr. Wizard"? When it comes to taxes Mr. Shah is Mr. Wizard. Sometimes I think he eats, sleeps, lives, and breathes the IRS codes. I have had experience in the corporate field with accounting divisions and also numerous other individual CPA's. Mr. Shah's dedication and expertise far exceed the norm.

If ability, ethics, moral standards, and professionalism are requirements for admission, you may do as well - you won't do better.
