WTP Exchange is an affiliate company of global tax and business advisory firm WTP Advisors.
“We are excited that WTP Exchange has joined our network,” says John Semon, CEO of the Lessors Network. “The LKE tax solution is a valuable tool that allows our members to reduce their current tax liability and increase cash flow.”
