Straight Accounting Answers in Algonquin!…read more So I was looking for some small business accounting insights and hit my old friend Google up for advice. I came across this site, downloaded the whitepaper and was blown away by the info! Talking to Dale was much the same... no B.S. just straight answers. Pretty refreshing!

I had an intro call that went over two hours, all great next steps but almost overly thorough (in…read morehindsight). But either way, I left the call thinking we'd have some great momentum and he promised to review our past taxes and our 2025 submission. Well, zero follow up. I signed a contract and then ghosted. Then my husband was bothered by this since I had sent him all our private info, so he called Kyle and got the same promises. Nothing again, and we keep trying to get in touch. If he's busy, just say so! But don't request all our very personal, identity documents then fall off the grid. Very very unsettling and more importantly HIGHLY unprofessional. I was looking forward to working with him! But seems like professional maturity and stability is highly lacking, beware. UPDATE FROM KFN RESPONSE: I'm a professional project manager, there is absolutely no way I would miss a meeting I had been adamantly requesting for weeks. It's disappointing how unbelievably inaccurate this response is, to the point I may need to alert Yelp itself. I tried to reach you number of times and I even had my husband reach out since it was an unknown number and maybe you'd answer. Which you did, and ghosted him as well. I wouldn't make this up, lying about it should be a huge red flag for anyone reading this.

My husband and I had our taxes prepared by Barbara Glanz for the tax year 2014. I received a letter…read morein the mail from the IRS telling me they were filed incorrectly concerning my First Time Homebuyer Credit from 2008. I emailed and called Barbara, she did not reply/return calls. I had to physically go to the office to get a response, which was her sitting behind a desk in a separate room and attempting to yell to me she did the taxes right, the IRS must be wrong. She said the First Time Homebuyer Credit from 2008 was waived by the government and I don't need to pay it at all - WRONG! I have finally gotten through to the IRS by phone now on June 4 and have confirmed Barbara Glanz did my taxes incorrectly. Why did I pay $225 to have my taxes done by a professional, if she does not know the correct tax laws? If it weren't for my own research after the letter arrived, I'd be doing something illegal thanks to Barbara Glanz. She refuses to refund the money we paid her and refuses to research the laws she claims to know. This should stand as a huge warning to anyone looking into a new tax accountant. Glanz & Associates is NOT the business for you if you want your taxes handled correctly. I am filing a BBB claim once a new IRS letter confirming the taxes were done wrong is sent to me shortly, so that I have paper evidence for the claim.

However, we got messages stating that they were working on it then we heard nothing from them throughout all of May. We left many messages asking where our taxes were but it was silence. We left messages asking for our financial information and last year's tax return so we could go elsewhere, but it was silence. We finally got word that they were done last week, the week of June 12 that they were done. I would never use them again, and no one else should as well. If there personal issues that prevented her from getting our taxes done in a timely manner then they should have communicated with us. It was just silence until out of the blue, now in June they are finally done. Very unprofessional. I wish I knew who I could report them to.

ABSOLUTELY ZERO .......OUT OF FIVE STARS…read more RUN, RUN ...............DON'T WALK from..........#1 Tax and Accounting Services of Algonquin, IL Very recently to writing this review came I in to the newly established office of #1 Tax and Accounting Service on Randall Rd I was very organized, had all my documents and was looking forward to a possible discussion based on the accounting services her firm indicated they provided. Ms. Chen was pleasant but very CONCEDED in her manner of conversation to any question or suggestion that I would ask, she did all of the talking and I did most of the listening. She asked me over 2.5 hours worth of questions many of which were not tax related questions but much more of a personal nature, but was unfortunately not able to answer most of them despite having earned a CPA and Ph.D in Mathematics. Without much notice towards the end of the meeting she said she had to think three days about whether she was going to take on my relatively simple tax preparation and tax amendment needs. I clearly asked her at the time of our meeting, did I do something to make her consider the "three day rule" as she referred to it she said "no, but that she just likes to consider things before she takes on a client" which I thought was a bit strange since we had already talked for 2.5 hours but fair enough a couple of days wouldn't hurt I thought. I felt very uneasy as though I had been scolded for something that I had not even done after leaving the meeting. Although I let it go and thought with her credentials and advanced degrees surely things would work out. We left thing off that she would contact me at the end of the three days to let me know whether she would take me on as a client. Three days later had passed and I had not heard anything from her, so I took the step to follow-up with her. IMPORTANT: As I call her up she's pleasant enough but says she only wants to to focus on the simple tax returns that are not time consuming. Thinking I had misunderstood her I engage her in a further conversation, se was very passive aggressive and I was stunned as to why someone would turn down a a walk-in client although I first sought her out from the Illinois Certified Public Accounts Society ICPA directory, and why she would waste over 2.5 hours of my time just to tell me she either wasn't equipped or simply did not want to do the tax returns for an unspecified reason. I have never written a review on any product or any website as it's just not my thing, but I felt ABSOLUTELY COMPELLED to tell the other folk to be VERY CAUTIOUS OF THIS FIRM, and based on my experience run, do not walk to another reputable skilled and talented CPA but certainly avoid wasting your time with Ms. Fiona Chen. There are many good CPA's out there that will gladly take your business, this one isn't one of them and I suspect will simply not flourish by such terrible treatment of clients time and resources. Gives all hard working working late night CPA's a terrible name. RUN, ...............DON'T WALK!

Not very customer oriented. Of the 8-10 1099s I needed to submit, I left one off my list…read moreaccidentally. I am totally and completely accountable for this. After receiving a notice from the IRS, I immediately scheduled an appointment to talk over the options for handling the additional taxes and interest due the IRS. I spent less than 5 minutes speaking with Don, who, as I look back, seemed impatient with the whole situation and had me leave the paperwork for him to look over. I checked back over the course of 1 month 3 times and finally opted on an appointment to come into Algonquin Accounting to check on the status. I wasn't invited into Don's office for a face-to-face and basically given all the paperwork back. Since there wasn't a definitive "pay this amount" IRS voucher I wasn't clear what to do, so I asked and was brusquely told "here is your paperwork" wait for the IRS to bill you. This means additional interest accrual. I've used Algonquin Accounting for 8 years and do feel slighted. I left to sort out my anger between my 1099 mistake which I am totally accountable for and the treatment by Don. I felt the treatment was not right and called to relay my displeasure twice. Don will not take my calls, so after 8 years it's time for a new tax consultant/preparer. All conversations with the staff were professional and I had no problems with the admin. I do not recommend Algonquin Accounting.

I was told that I was going to owe almost $9,000 to federal!!! I started crying and was very upset. I took it for a 2nd opinion and found that the H&R consultant failed to recognize, that due to a QDRO I had post divorce, it prevented a penalty that they didn't even ask me about and therefore missed all together. I had no idea, being as I am still new to this. My ex had taken care of all the financial and tax needs so I did not recognize this mistake. What a BIG FAIL on their part
