  • Talk Directly to the Professionals

    At L Maxwell Hesse LLC, you won’t find yourself talking to the assistant to the assistant. Here, the two primary professionals of our company will work directly with you, providing experienced and measured tax and planning services. Quick and friendly responses to your questions and concerns are integral to our mission.

  • We Listen and Respond to You

    Being small means we hear you. We take your instructions to heart and follow your wishes. We enjoy working for individuals as well as businesses. We count many self-employed folks, families, couples and single investors among our valued clients. We have no levels of bureaucracy between you and us.

  • In the Heart of Multnomah Village

    We love being right in Multnomah Village, a charming neighborhood with a small town feeling. There is some great shopping nearby; you can find antiques, art, crafts and books just a easy stroll from our offices. The small town feeling carries over the way we do business. We get a lot of business by referral, neighbor to neighbor.

  • Accounting For Humans

    Many accountants get grief for being hard to understand. We specialize in what we call “accounting for humans.” We explain things to you in plain English, making your tax and business decisions easier as a result. We do the research so you don’t have to – you stay up to date on the latest in the tax law without cracking a book.
