After a few weeks of anxiety over what we anticipated we would owe this year, we decided to use Hinckley Cook CPA to prepare our tax filings. I have to say, they put some serious work into our tax preparation. They took their time to present it well, gave us excellent advice for the current tax year. Best of all, they were so thorough and researched all our deductions that we owed less than half of what we thought we would. I cannot say enough about this firm and strongly recommend them for any of your tax or accounting needs.

I took his advice, and I couldn't be happier with that decision. Steve and his team handle our bookkeeping and tax preparation, carefully coordinating our business and personal returns to minimize our tax bill. They've also introduced us to valuable government aid programs that provided significant benefits. They truly leave no stone unturned.

As a tech entrepreneur in Plano, I've relied on Hill Durnin CPAs for over 6 years, and they've…read moreconsistently exceeded my expectations. Steve and his team have been instrumental in navigating the complex tax landscape that comes with running a growing business while balancing personal finances. What sets Hill Durnin apart is their proactive approach. They don't just file your taxes; they're true strategic partners. Their monthly CPA plan has been a game-changer for my business, providing real-time insights that have helped me make smarter financial decisions year-round. They've saved me thousands annually through smart entity structuring and identifying deductions I would have missed.

They're always responsive, whether I have a quick question or need to discuss a complex issue. What truly impresses me is how they seamlessly handle both my business and personal taxes. This integrated approach has given me peace of mind and freed up my time to focus on growing my company.

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.

We needed a local CPA to file a family members taxes for tax year 2021. Based on good reviews and…read morea recommendation, we decided to use Pearce CPA firm, working with Adam. Based on my experience this year with a different local firm with good reviews as well, I am finding the Pearce firm charged me $225 more for the same non-complex tax return. I questioned the charge at the time as they were $275 more than what we had been paying previously in another Texas city but was told $600 was the standard for the Dallas area. Needless to say, I am very dissappointed as I certainly do not feel I recieved any better service to warrant such an increased fee. Based on my past and present experience, I feel Pearce could benefit from taking more time to communicate with their clients to insure they have all of the info surrounding the return to be filed. For example, clients may not always be aware of every deduction that is eligible. There was very little communication/questions from them during the entire process of which could have made a difference.

They have handled all regulatory items (State of Texas and IRS) including quarterly filings, returns, etc. I find it extremely valuable having the combination of the three. Paul is (among other things) a former bank President and CPA. Adam is a CPA and Attorney and Sherri is the go to (glue) that keeps everything rolling. A fine tuned machine Pearce CPA. If you have a need that aligns with their services, I think you will be extremely satisfied.

Red Flags Galore! I…read morewas looking for a new tax and accounting firm so I decided to look into these guys. Up on reviewing their business I found some red flags and decided not to give them any of my business. 1. Closed on Fridays and sharing offices. This business was closed on a Friday when I went to their office since I was in their building. If you don't have enough work to stay in open on Fridays, something is wrong. May be that's why the hours aren't listed online. Someone was in the office so they opened the door anyway. They told me that they didn't work for the firm and they were sharing the office. Now, someone who shares a tax preparers office is a major no-no. There is a lot of confidential and personal information around. When I reversed searched their address in Google I can find a lot of businesses at the same address mainly counselors are working out of this address. 2. Not accountants or CPAs. These business doesn't seem to employ any accountant or CPAs per their website. They have one person listed as enrolled agent. That's not good enough for my needs. 3. Not enough employees: There only 4 employees listed on their website if you don't count the receptionist or the dog. Same thing with LinkedIn. 4. Holier than thou attitude. My correspondence suggested that there was a fundamental attitude issue with them despite the fact that anyone looking for an established and reputable business would pass on them.

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.
