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 accounting, tax and business services. Quick and friendly responses to your questions and concerns are integral to our mission.

We have all worked at a big firm; that’s why we’re at a small firm (our little office is in the photo). We enjoy the immediate and personal client relationships that grow at a small firm. And you will appreciate the professionalism and sophisticated tax and business knowledge we brought along from our days at the big firm. You get the best of both.

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.

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.

We understand your business. We advise a wide range of businesses (S and C corporations, partnerships, LLC’s). We provide income tax planning and returns, estate planning and  returns, litigation support, financial and management consulting and financial statement review and compilation.

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.
