About Me        

        Berrigan’s Tax & Bookkeeping Service's founder & president has worked in the accounting field for little over twenty five years of combined experience in government, hotel, corporate and non-profit organizations. Mr. Berrigan is deaf, uses American Sign Language (ASL) and demonstrates excellent written English skills.

        With his experience, Berrigan’s Tax & Bookkeeping Service was established to serve and satisfy the needs of deaf and hard of hearing individuals & small business owners. They have experienced frustrations trying to locate high-quality, yet affordable tax & bookkeeping service with easy, free access to communication and information. The founder and president has also discovered that they are overwhelmed in choice by countless local CPAs or tax preparers, all of whom offered differing fees, not to mention differing levels of service and quality.

            As a result, Berrigan’s Tax & Bookkeeping Service was launched with the goal of providing individuals and small businesses satisfaction with an easy access to information thru communication and to receive top-notch tax and bookkeeping service.
