Robert does a terrific job presenting complex tax information in a systematic way. His training materials are comprehensive and serve as excellent reference documents. He researches questions needing further IRS clarification and delivers the information promptly. I highly recommend him and Iron Bridge Resources for tax workshops.

Robert, thank you for your fabulously informative Tax Workshop. Your detailed explanations were greatly appreciated. The content was clearly presented and, while incredibly thorough and in-depth, I didn’t feel overwhelmed. I gained new knowledge and have references and resources to turn to as I begin the verification season.

Working with Iron Bridge consultants has been transformative for our Financial Aid department. After stepping into my new role and facing the daunting task of overhauling our processes, Iron Bridge was the strategic partner we needed. Their expert guidance through the complexities of the new FAFSA implementation was invaluable—without them, we would have struggled to adapt to the changes. The consultants brought a rare depth of knowledge and experience, empowering us not only to streamline our daily operations but also to elevate the level of service we provide to our students. Thanks to their support, our College achieved remarkable success in welcoming the Fall 2024 class, with over 40% of our students now qualifying for Pell Grants. Iron Bridge’s impact on our institution has been nothing short of exceptional.

We are grateful for the exceptional leadership and dedication demonstrated by our Iron Bridge consultant during her time at Holy Family University in the Registrar’s Office.

Her contributions have greatly benefited the university community, and we are fortunate to have had her serve in this capacity.
