From the minute you walk in the door and are greeted to the time the tasks they work on are finished, they are excellent in all facets! In fact, they have been the best accounting firm I've dealt with! A special shout out to Erik, Lee, and Briana who were an absolute pleasure to deal with! Accountants usually pay attention to detail, but this firm (and I've dealt with many other firms) are nonpareil!

As a small business owner, I know my trade. When it comes to taxes, I'm lost. Matt took the time with me and gave sound advice. He took care of all of the details and got me on the right path so I didn't have to worry about mistakes. He not only helps with my taxes, but he developed a plan for the future and what I should be doing today to achieve it. I know they have big clients, but as a small business owner I feel like a big shot because they treat me like one. It just goes to show that they really care....even the smaller guy gets the full treatment. I highly recommend Diamond & Huels. They care, they are the best and they are very fair with pricing.....which I love as a small business owner!!

A few years ago, my family's regular Tax Guy retired without notice and (also without notice)…read morepassed us along to an associate of his. Unfortunately, our experience with him was frustrating. As such, I was looking for a new Tax Guy. Michael Ludwig graciously took my mom and I on as new clients. He was extremely easy to work with, personable, and accommodated us for appointments that were convenient to our very limited schedule. Further, when I told him I was going to purchase a home soon and needed the tax documents for my pre-approval, he generated my taxes within a week. That was so appreciated! He filed them electronically that day. So, not only could I begin my home search, but I received my federal refund in under 10 days. Win-win. I appreciate Michael's willingness to take my mom and I on as new clients and for his timeliness and diligence! I'm happy to have a new Tax Guy - one who is easy to work with!

I tried to fire them politely because I had been dissatisfied with their work and was paying them a good amount of money for seemingly little return. Instead of a professional acceptance of the very brief and not at all critical email I sent to discontinue our contract, I got an email full of vitriol and bitterness threatening to sue me for nonpayment of fees. This was a bit of a shock to me, since I had had their payments on AUTOPAY with direct deposit for years. If they had done their job, there wouldn't be an issue. They literally had access to all of my accountants. The email was so shocking in tone and wording that I emailed another accountant there, Troy, with whom I hadn't previously had a problem and advised that Brad seemed to be a little unhinged and possibly emotionally unstable. Very concerning behavior, and something you would expect from an irritable teenager, not the seasoned adult that appears in the picture on their website. I have been meaning to discontinue their "services" such as they were for some time. Brad had started his verbally abusive emails back in the winter, but I assumed he was stressed with tax season coming up and hoped it was a transient fluke. His response to my decision to discontinue working with the firm was over the top. I'm looking into reporting to a professional regulatory board. Troy's response to Brad's behavior was very disappointing. Despite my request for Brad to never contact me again, he sent me a fax message. I'm hoping I don't need a no contact order for this firm. Stay FAR FAR AWAY from this firm.
