We've been going to this CPA for a few years now (never worked with Joe directly but have worked…read morewith many others), and each year I'm less and less impressed, so this past year will be our last with them. Communication has gone downhill. Asking for clarification and getting zero back, or truly waiting a month for a response. Asking for advice on taxes and getting no advice back, while owing more and more in taxes each year with still no advice from them. I've been paying them for what I can do on my own with the automated version of TurboTax. A bummer since our friend referred us, but may be they were better many years ago.

I knew I needed help with my taxes this year. I'd moved, I'd had a regular job, but also a contract…read morejob - basically, I had no idea what I was doing when it came time to file. I'd researched some places on Yelp and called several "real" accountant firms, including the one that says they'll give you a free consultation, but they couldn't help me file my return on time ...or in one case, even bother return my call. They said they'd help me file an extension, but it was MARCH, yes, kind of late in the game, but early March and I still had over a month before taxes were due. I'd held off on calling Ameritax because I'd used places like H&R Block before and they were crazy expensive and you got charged for filing federal and then for state and then for filling in the interest you paid on your student loans and I didn't want to get gouged at a chain again. Finally I called just because I knew I needed help and they did have a good review, so I was hopeful that it would work out. Kevin did return my call and in a timely manner and we scheduled an appointment. They're even open on Saturdays, so it made it easy to find time. Kevin was great and very helpful. He didn't balk at the fact that I'd had several W2s with me plus a 1099 contract form. He didn't bat an eye at filing an out of state return. He also helped me write off moving expenses with relevant questions and student loan interest without any superficial charge. In addition, he was very fast and I was extremely happy with the results. I was afraid with the contract work, that I'd end up owing money this year, but it turns out that this wasn't the case. When all was said and done, I got a good return and I owed Ameritax no more than I expected to pay, although my service ran about twice as much as the normal tax prep cost because of the 1099. I told Kevin about the other tax places being unable to help me file on time and he couldn't believe it, which is funny, because I couldn't either. I'm glad that they were, though because I'm very happy with Kevin and Ameritax and with the level of service he provided. He's got one very loyal customer in the years to come.

CONTEXT: Getting older (every day) and financial security is a priority to me, and I wanted to see where all my bread goes! Y'all know I love food! LOL. I wanted to set some budgets and goals with a trusted advisor. WHAT I GRABBED: Financial Advisory for the year, quarterly minimum with access to Jeff and team for financial planning as needed, discussing/planning short to long-term financial goals. COMMENDS: Jeff is clever af. He was able to drop gems within the first 10 minutes of our conversation based on my situation. I'll speak on one, an investment with my savings that netted me a couple of hundreds within a day. Now results will vary based on what you investing, but gains indeed! RECOMMENDS: Have a discovery call with the team to see if Jeff's team can be of assistance to you and your situation. OVERALL:/VALUE: 5/5 Great value so far. I've only had one session and starting on my plan with optimism. I did have trouble contacting the team at the beginning around holiday time and expressed my concern. Jeff Badu, the CEO, reached out to schedule a follow-up and explained the miscommunication. I'll follow up as the year progresses with updates! WHAT I'M VOUCHING FOR: Solid financial advice based on your situations and a range of other services around tax planning. Until next time Yelpers, LOVE, LIVE, and STACK!

I was referred to Badu Tax Services by another Tax accountant, the initial meeting seemed promising…read moreand some of the employees were very helpful, but when it came to actually getting taxes completed my tax preparation was rushed. Here is why I know that: the email responses I was receiving were usually a 5-7 day late during tax season, they were overwhelmed by the number of customers, my taxes were higher than what I was able to obtain though another CPA. In addition, I requested to be removed from their mailing list back in November 2024 and still receive emails about follow ups and promotions despite me being a customer. This just reminds me about the company that took $2,000 for services that didn't offer the value I paid for.

DO NOT file taxes or an LLC with Chandler Knowles. You will be wasting your money, In addition,…read moreif you have more than a 10 minute drive to their office, do not waste your time. A 40-minute trip to deliver documents cost me a 1 hour fee. Despite the owner being "too busy" to introduce herself, she charged me for "consultation" services. My consultation consisted of sitting alone in a conference room, introducing myself to her administrator, and handing over my files. Ruthless and no concern for you or your company.

I would not recommend this firm. The first year they did my return, they made a mistake and told…read moreme it was my responsibility to make sure the tax return is accurate when I got a notice from the IRS which has never happened to me in my adult life. Chandler did amend the return at no charge but advised me it was my responsibility to make sure the entire return is correct. I'm not a CPA which is why I paid them for their expertise. I chalked it up to a one time mistake, but the next year I went over the return page by page, line by line, and found multiple mistakes (since it's my responsibility according to them so I spent hour and hours reviewing every line item). Chandler had to modify the return at least 3 times and make many corrections before it could be submitted to the IRS. These were mistakes I found (not them). What is the point of hiring and paying a CPA to file my tax return if I need to learn all the tax laws to find their mistakes. I had to proofread all their work but their fee was never discounted for the countless hours I had to spent proofing the return and bringing errors to their attention. I even had to bring to their attention a typo transposing numbers, a mathematical error, as well as a major error whereas they reflected tax free funds as taxable funds. Needless to say I decided to find a new CPA going forward as I had no confidence in their ability to prepare my return accurately. Fortunately, I found a highly competent CPA that I am working with now and have been for several years. My new CPA even went back and found more mistakes (that I didn't know about as I'm not a CPA). I had to pay my new CPA to amend mistakes from their original work. I didn't even ask Chandler to amend the old return to fix their mistakes as did not want to have any further relationship with them as trust was gone and I moved on to another CPA who I paid to amend the return previously filed by Chandler. The people at Chandler are very nice people, but I just do not have confidence of the accuracy of my returns they prepared so I found a new CPA. I shouldn't have to have CPA knowledge to hire a CPA to complete my return. I provide my CPA with proper documentation and while I still review the return before it is submitted, I expect my CPA to prepare an accurate return. I do hope that things have changed for them as this was several years ago and hope they are doing a more thorough review of their work. I wish them the best of luck. I didn't even want to write this review as they were nice people but a friend of mine said it would be wrong not to write the review. In the end, I do hope these were just training issues that have since been resolved so this does not happen to anyone else.
