"Fantastic team at Anomaly - Been a client for years and this is the ONLY place where you get CPA brainpower and legal advice IN ONE PLACE. Before working with Anomaly about something complex, the response from my accountant was "speak to your attorney", who in turn would say "we should hop onto a call with your CPA".
Anomaly brings it all together - like it should be!!!
Brilliant team and terrific insights."
