Hey everyone, it’s Tony from Gasima. How are you? We are so excited today to announce this great new partnership with Russ Guderian, CPA. We’ve been talking about this for a while. It’s here, it’s now. Tax prep services, tax consulting, a way to manage your portfolio with tax efficiency. Russ, after running a 40-year successful practice, is now joining with Cosima, and we couldn’t be prouder of this moment. Kind of a funny set of circumstances. We met when you were in Venice, struck up a conversation, and fast forward the tape, two years later, we have formed this partnership, and we’re ready to give you guys some great customer service regarding your taxes. That’s right, Tony. As everyone knows, my wife and I relocated to Venice, Florida in 2022. I continue to operate my practice as a CPA with all of my clients remotely. In the last couple of years, I have decided to ratchet it down a little on the tax preparation side and become more of a manager, and that’s what I’ll be doing with Tony’s firm. So I will continue to be active within the firm, but just not in the areas of tax preparation. So I’m excited about our partnership, and I’m excited about moving and working with Tony and with Gasima. Thanks, Russ. And look, as Russ can attest to, we here at Cosima absolutely obsess about the customer experience. I know that may sound odd when we’re talking about filing your taxes, but believe us that our interactions with you are the most precious moments in our business, and we hope to deliver you a great experience this coming tax season. As you all know, I have always stressed personal service in my practice. That’s tantamount to anything that I offer, and everyone will continue to receive wonderful personal service, whether from me or whether from Tony and his firm. True that. Look, I know it sounds weird to be having a great experience during tax season when you could be cutting a check to the government, but at the end of the day, we really truly feel that we’re fundamentally changing the way people can look at personal finance, and this completes the circle with the suite of services that we’ll be able to offer you this coming tax season. Thank you, everyone. We’re excited about continuing to work with all of you this upcoming tax season, with myself, with Tony, and with Gasima.
