Mel and Carol Butler

In our office there is a statue of a "Butler" holding a big sign which says "Butler Means Service." Mel has been in the business of "service" for over thirty-five years. As owner of the company, Mel Butler & Associates, he embodies the company mission statement which reads as follows:

"Our mission is to provide our clients with professional representation, exceptional service, and financial expertise in the buying and selling of real Estate, the preparation of income tax returns, in financial planning, and other specialized accounting needs. We strive to provide a comfortable atmosphere of honesty, integrity, and genuine concern for our clients´ interests. We will continue to expand and apply our knowledge in real Estate, finance, and tax law to better serve our clients, and we offer these services at a reasonable and fair price. Remember, at Mel Butler and Associates, it is our privilege to serve you."

Mel specializes in the following areas:

1) Personal income tax preparation

Mel is an "Enrolled Agent" which means he is authorized to represent, defend, and assist taxpayers in disputes dealing with the IRS and the appeals process. He is often on the phone with the state or the IRS in defense of his clients. He has had a few occasions to represent a client in a court proceeding before the IRS, and he has always prevailed in the client´s behalf. What this means practically, to you, the client, is that he knows the tax laws backwards and forwards. He has hundreds of clients that call for their annual "income tax appointment" because they know he is the best.

One of the best testimonials he has had was from a client who was called in for an audit. This client felt confident enough to go alone, although part of Mel´s service is to accompany the tax payer to an audit. He said that when he sat down with the auditor, the auditor noticed Mel´s name as tax preparer. He promptly dismissed the man, saying that if "Mel Butler" prepared the taxes there was no need for the audit, as they knew he was honest and they had never found any discrepancies in his work. When Mel heard this story, he was very pleased. So, if you want to get all the deductions you deserve, call for an appointment with the best!

2) Tax Planning and Financial Services

Our clients often find this a confusing and complicated area. Mel helps them with Estate planning, debt reduction, life insurance protection and investment counseling, helping them achieve financial security.

3) Accounting and bookkeeping Services

Mel handles everything from new business organization and set up, computerized bookkeeping services, payroll setup and quarterly tax reporting, QuickBooks support, etc. In other words, Mel takes care of the accounting headaches that many small business owners come to dread. Most of our clients appreciate this service as it affords them more time to work and develop their business.

4) Real Estate

Mel is a very successful real Estate broker. He has helped countless clients in selling their homes and in buying new ones. His financial and tax expertise gives him a definite edge in the real Estate market. So if you are looking for real Estate help, call the best.

Now, you may be wondering how Mel Butler could do all of this, and give the attention to detail and exceptional service that our company is known for. The answer is that he has great people working with him. What started out as a one-person entity, has evolved into a family business, including three sons who are very educated, capable, and highly trained (by the best mentor).

5) Personal Note

On a personal note, Mel and his secretary have had a long-running love affair. Oh, did we mention that his wife, Carol, is his secretary? They are the parents of seven children, and have sixteen grandchildren.
