Save yourself the trouble and stay away! Our experience with Stu makes me question his…read morequalifications, and that's putting it nicely. We had mistakes in our previous years' tax returns. They were very minor, but not comforting knowing the person we rely on for this is making mistakes. When we asked him about what happened, he brushed it off as no big deal...okay fine, we moved past it. This year, he provided us with withholding consultation, which we paid extra for, that was WAY off. We noticed the inconsistencies in early April and brought them to his attention, to which he requested we follow up after tax season (understandable). We then met with him when schedules allowed, and it was clear he was completely lost on how our income works, and let me tell you, it's not that complex at all! He then had the nerve to ask us to pay for these services again! When I questioned him on this and reminded him that we had already paid for these services and that he missed the mark, he completely ghosted us. We left countless voicemails, sent a bunch of emails, and he would not respond. This went on over the course of 5 weeks, it was clear he was avoiding me. He never took the time to ask simple questions about our income and, even worse, made assumptions about how we earn our yealy incomes. He completely relied on this tax accounting software to do the work for him, and unfortunately for us, that still requires some level of competence... I'm writing this review to save others from the pain of having to go through this, do yourself a favor, and look elsewhere.

Another great tax prep experience with Stu Goldberg. Myself and family have worked with Stu for 6…read moreyears for both our personal returns and multiple LLC's. Prior to moving our tax work to Stu we had been with a big box Accountancy firm. I went on a tireless search for an independent CPA, interviewing several. The consistency and benefit of working with an individual who has the knowledge and background of his clients is indispensable. He is an excellent communicator and his advise is thoughtful and sound and his work thorough. I am always impressed at how well informed he is on the most current tax codes and his ability to express himself in layman terms. A delightful person, with a wonderful sense of humor. Thanks again Stu, for a stress free tax year.

I found the staff to be helpful and fully knowledgeable about my return and the several additions we have to a basic 1040. We started as a walk in and were assigned to Suki, a senior preparer. He was very attentive, answered all our questions and asked many of his own. After all was complete for 2017 they even showed me what 2018 might look like based on the new tax law. We are please with Block and will be back next year. It makes me question why I left so many years ago to pay more money for the same service.
