Last weekend was out first time going to Bill or any other accountant to do our taxes in a decade…read moreor more, as we've been using Turbo Tax for years. However, 2012 was a crazy year for us as we re-located from NJ back home to MA, changed jobs, rolled over a 401K and had multiple stock sales. So like every recent year, we bought TT again this year and were basically satisfied with the answers, although we owed $4100 to the IRS and $681 to MA we were getting $3990 back from NJ. That seemed reasonable given the income from last year. Still we wanted to double check our work on TT and we also wanted to establish a relationship with an accountant who could also provide advice going forward as to how to best position ourselves for next years taxes. My wife and I are almost 50 so we also were also looking for someone to validate the positions we had taken financially to prepare for retirement. We found Bill on Yelp and even though we live in Boston where there were other five star rated accountants, we liked the fact that he was praised for both his tax services and his financial advice. Also, he was noted as having a friendly and easy going personality (Which some of the other five star accountants defiantly did not have according to their reviews). We didn't want to start off a potential long term relationship with any one who was a dick, no matter how brilliant. Bill has a nice location in an office park in Quincy off Willard Street. We arrived on time and so did he. We liked Bill immediately as he was engaging and friendly and not stuffy at all. He even had Red Sox World Series memorabilia on his walls which immediately signaled to me that he was A NORMAL PERSON. Anyways, Bill found that we had made a mistake on TT by erroneously listing our stock sales. As far as TT was concerned, no red flags popped up because the error was inputted incorrectly by us. TT didn't know and we didn't know either, but Bill knew. The error would have been costly. Instead of the figures above, it turned out that we actually only owed the IRS $798! Our NJ refund was increased by over $200 and our debt to MA turned into a refund of almost $200. All tolled, Bill saved us almost $4500. After his fee of $275, we still saved well over $4000. We obviously enjoyed our first meeting and will schedule another more comprehensive meeting to evaluate our goals and current positions after the tax season ends and Bill is less busy. Bottom line here is that Turbo Tax is a great product, but nothing beats discussing your tax obligations with a human being. We would HIGHLY recommend Bill Ryan to anyone looking for an exceptionally competent accountant/financial planner in the Metro South or even in the Boston metropolitan area. THANKS BILL!

I spoke with Joe on the phone a few months ago about doing our taxes. He sounded nice enough. As…read morewe sent hime all our paperwork, he started asking for things that were irrelevent to this year's taxes. In addition, he was telling us we had some of our paperwork that he asked for wrong when in fact, it was not wrong. Then he started berating us and was very condescending. He was actually putting this stuff in a very harsh tone in emails. In my opinion, it felt like instead of working with us on what needed to be done, he was bullying us. We were shocked. To top everything off, his bills were considerable higher than prior returns. Suffice it to say, we would never use him again.

You really don't find that kind of attention at other places especially large companies. I have recommended them to multiple clients and friends and everyone has been happy with their experience with this company. Most important, is the fact that Gordon Parry and his team have been around for decades! I look forward to continuing to work with them.

Be aware that Medford Tax does not accept clients who will be filing an extension…read more I was an existing client of Medford Tax from the prior year, and while John had made a bunch of careless errors on my tax forms last year that I had to personally spend time to correct, I decided to give them another chance. When I called in again this year, I reminded them of my situation about my forms, moving states, and that I needed to file for an extension due to a K-1 that comes in later in the year. They were ok with all that and I was sent a login link to the Medford Tax portal to submit documents for my taxes. After I reminded them that I was planning to file for an extension, they reconsidered and I was told that I'm "no longer a good fit" since they don't want to help people with extensions as they said it was like "preparing the same taxes twice". I understand that they may not like it when people file for extensions, but it is an extremely common practice with personal taxes that they should be accustomed to. I was surprised to be given this treatment and refused their services just because I am filing for an extension. Please be aware that Medford Tax does not treat returning clients well and are not very thorough when preparing taxes.
