After varied professional experiences in the education and human services field, Patti MacPike has found herself  entertained daily by the challenges and changes that occur with the field of income tax preparation. Her emphasis over the past few years has been helping clients understand the implications of the Affordable Care Act and how that impacts small self-employed individuals specifically in Alaska where health care costs are the highest in the nation.
