Terrible service! They do not communicate well, and delayed tax preparation and nobody calls you…read moreback, even when you give everything early. This last tax season they fired my tax preparer who is a family member and locked her out of the office. Now I get a notice that they can't help us this year after a decade of paying them to prepare our taxes. My parents also received the same notification in the mail instead of our annual tax preparation packet because they are too busy to help loyal clients that they screwed over the year before. Not even a phone call, just a letter, sorry, we are too busy to help loyal clients. If they were planning on dropping clients they should have said something after they screwed up last year. It really makes me worry what shady stuff happened and if my prior years were legit or messed up. Definitely a poor handling all the way around. I don't like to leave bad reviews but this one earned less than one star. To not be notified until December that instead of getting a tax prep packet to get a "You have been dropped and need to find a new place is a slap in the face. And there was only one person that called back one time ever, even when calling the main line. Way to take care of a long time client, and drop my entire family. If you were going to drop us we should have been notified after last April when you fired her. That's 8 months of wait to find out that your tax preparers won't be helping you. Highly impersonal service. And that's 8 less months to find a good accountant/CPA.

They provide a packet of what documents are needed and I just complete those and return them to the office. I let them do the calculations so that I don't have to deal with figuring out the correct figures/data. I am sorry to learn of recent clients who have been upset by this company and am grateful that I was not working with the employee that was let go. That would have been very stressful to try to find another tax preparer.

Our accountant was retiring so we searched the web and found most all the good ones are not taking…read moreon new clients so we settled with Priscilla Eckhardt with L H Harris CPA because of 3 good review but found out after this was from the last owners clients before Pricilla took over the company. after our interview with Priscilla and her stating that our company would be no problem for her we decided to try her. Priscilla requested everything she needed to get a 4 month profit & loss done that was needed for our liability audit coming up. We supplied her immediately with everything she asked for and also six years of our P&L history so she can see what was being deducted in the passed and had this info to check her work to see if she has everything down. after over a month I contacted Priscilla to check in. I had to call several time to get a hold of her as she is always on the phone or to busy to take you call or answer emails. Another month passed with no contact so I contact her again and she tells me the P&L is complete but need to go threw someone else to check it. OK almost a month later I call over and over again until I get a hold of Priscilla and she tells me its complete and to come pick it up.. you would think she would of call ME but that it is obviously how she runs her business. When we finally received the P&L it had nothing on it! Priscilla has $270.00 down TOTAL for ALL our utilities for 4 months. power. water, gas. We are a manufacturing company and 2 days of power alone is over $200.00. Priscilla had no C.C. charges deducted that the company charged everything to, no gas or insurance for the company vehicles deducted, no liability insurance deducted. No lease payment for 4 month was deducted. Nothing! it was like Priscilla had no clue what she was doing! Priscilla was also told ALL our sales are online from Amazon, Etsy, Ebay etc. and not one fee from any of these sites are deducted. These are basic right offs that Priscilla could not get right that anyone that knows taxes would of known right away that these are missing and this also went threw someone else to view according to Priscilla! I contacted Priscilla regarding all her mistakes that we paid her for and she had nothing to say. Not even sorry. Priscilla took no responsibility for her mistakes and left it as it was and did not try to fix anything. We also told her she had no depreciation schedule down for over 200K of equipment that she had the list for that the incorporation purchased years ago. Priscilla reasoning for not including these deductions in our P&L was because the incorporation purchased the equipment used and we would need to go find ALL the passed Owners of the equipment we purchased used and see if any of the passed owners had a business and already wrote them off before she would give us the deductions even if we had to go back 25 years Priscilla said. And if we found that someone did wrote it off that we could not use it because they did. This was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in the 25 year in business. Odiously after this remark from Priscilla we left running and never looked back! our new professional accountant could not use ANYTHING that we paid for and supplied by LH Harris CPA or Priscilla. We projected in less then 3 yrs we would of been bankrupt and out of business if we stayed with Priscilla and her accounting skills. Priscilla seemed more in helping the IRS then saving her clients on basic right offs. We would not recommend this company.

Because of his knowledge, finesse & diligence it ultimately worked out in our favor. We are convinced that without him in our corner, we would have had a very different result. Taxes are stressful enough but we now rest easy knowing that we are fully prepared should another audit find us.

What can I add that hasn't already been said about David Fisher's practice? My mom had been using…read moreDavid's firm's services for over 10 years for both trust and personal taxes. When my father passed away, my mom struggled to pick up the pieces. Between filing for her own health insurance, preparing paperwork for his pension, and figuring out things she'd never had to figure out before, she was beside herself. She was diagnosed with a neurological condition and subsequently had a stroke. She was struggling to live and went into skilled nursing for a month so was unreachable. I contacted David's office since there had been an extension in filing date granted due to COVID, but wanted to also make sure I could pick things up in the meantime. I noted that there was a note saying my mom had used an incorrect TIN for one of the pieces of paperwork, and according to my mom, she'd been in the process of rectifying that problem. Finally, when she was out of skilled nursing and, thankfully, alive, in the process of engaging attorneys to establish DPOA and a trust (and figure out how to keep her home up, pay caregivers, and manage her health), I went to David's office to sign the submittals and pay for her taxes. I inquired as to why filing her personal taxes was double the cost of previous years and was told that the trouble of the incorrect TIN had "made a mess" of things and cost several hours. I'm an engineer, not a CPA, but I do know that correcting an error in a spreadsheet and communicating that to a client does not double the effort of the service. Additionally, my mom was on a fixed income, burdened with sudden insane caregiving costs, and was mourning her husband. Surely, a firm who had been preparing her taxes for over ten years would provide some reprieve and not charge her ~$1000 for her personal taxes consisting largely of a pension and social security - after all, as a family owned business, they have some discretion over what they charge clients. David emerged from his office as this discussion was happening with his wife, and subsequently asserted that if my mom was cognitively impaired and overwhelmed with grief that I should have taken over her finances earlier. My mother was a bookkeeper and fiercely independent. Additionally, I was grieving too. The absolute lack of compassion took me aback. They subsequently offered to reduce our bill if we agreed to not come back as a client, like many of the other reviewers here who have faced their rage when they challenge them. I accepted, and they offered to efile. A few days later, I received a letter and email regarding the termination of services with their firm and that they had changed their minds regarding filing our taxes - this was less than a week before the filing deadline. They also stipulated that we were not to use their work for filing, leaving a grief-stricken overwhelmed family scrambling to find a CPA all because we were "very displeased" with their services and associated lack of discretion in billing. I've attached a letter I sent back to their office that has names of their personnel and my family redacted. Only after this letter did the firm reverse their decision and opt to file. As an aside, I hired a CPA to independently review the submittals and several errors were identified; we had to file addendums/corrections after the submittal. I strongly recommend going elsewhere. I've had very few encounters with such petulant professionals in my life.
