CPA recommendation in Grand Rapids, MI

Does anybody have a CPA recommendations in the Grand Rapids area?  My current accountant was a referral and initially I was happy with him but he seems so disorganized and I was passed off to one of his new partners after a previous partner left. Everytime I ask him a question he has to ask somebody else for the answer, usually the CPA I thought I was signing up with.  I feel I know more from all the real estate tax advice books than he does.  I must have a CPA that has experience with wholesalers, and would preferably like a CPA that does the majority of their business with real estate or is an investor themselves.  Probably a big request but if I can close I'd take it at this point.

@Joe Bourguignon @Greg Zunich I went with a gentleman named Brian Borawski. He worked with a ton of investors. To be fair and balanced he is great at what he does and always responds but if you don't like corresponding via email he does not pickup phone. It drove me nuts at first but he does respond quickly to emails and it works out better because I can back to my email and search for his responses if I want to clarify his explanation. I did talk to Duane Culver at Culver CPa and he was very knowledgeable but when I asked him if I would be working with him or somebody else he tried passing me off to a newer guy at office that had "interest" in real estate. I had a bad experience twics where I was sold by a partner and then passed on to a lower level CPA so didn't want to go that route again. Brian is a member of the Metro Grand Rapids Real Estate Investors group if you want to reach out to him.
