Asking for a friend: Accountant in NYC?

I've seen all the previous "accountant in NYC" questions, but the answers are all, "I'll MeMail you some names." Not hugely helpful for doing a search, but feel free to MeMail us some names. :)

Anyhoo, my friend has tricky taxes this year: She's worked three different jobs in two states.

First, she was a contractor in Atlanta, GA at the start of the year. Then, she moved to NYC and worked first as a freelancer, then a contractor for a small company in Brooklyn, then as an intern, and is now a full time staffer at a large company. She's also moved within the year.

Needless to say, she needs someone who can help her with her taxes

He/she should be:

*familiar with creative professions and freelancing
*good at handling out of state taxes
*located in lower Manhattan or the Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Thanks!

My wife and I have equally tricky taxes - multiple incomes, various states. We've been going to these guys for many years. Not in lower Manhattan but maybe worth the trip?

Shelly Jacobsen and her minions at SJ Tax Associates on 19th Street have done both my small business and my individual taxes brilliantly for 15 years.

I second the Sidney Kaufman recommendation.

Gah, sorry for all the weird grammar errors—busy work day! And my friend thanks you very much.
