My experience was very disappointing.

There was also a small mistake in my return, which may happen, but again it took forever to fix, due to delays, unanswered calls, and multiple people involved. Even if I submitted all my data very early, we ended up filing at the very last minute, where I had to chase them by calling multiple times a day. I was surprised by the confusion that seemed to dominate their process.

Worked with Cyndie and team for the first time this year and had an incredibly positive experience…read more They helped prepare taxes for me and my family, and everything was just smooth and easy. I shared some high level info over email, uploaded a bunch of documents, we emailed back and forth as questions came up, and they got everything prepared quickly. Totally hassle free.

So I've done my own taxes with the help of CPA-in-a-Box for, well, ever. They were never more…read morecomplicated than a bank statement and some pay stubs, so I never worried about it until this year when I had exercised some stock options. I figured it would be pretty simple, but 18 hrs and a toner cartridge later, I could barely scrape together enough info to fill out my extension, which sucked since I really wanted my stimulus check sooner than later. Did I mention I was unemployed at the time? Tail between my legs, I headed for Cyndie based on some random yellow pages reviews. Even though I had attempted to do them myself *and* had made some incorrect assumptions *and* handed off a mass of jumbled printouts and random scribblings, she was very professional, fast, and super nice. She even caught a little handwritten memo I'd made to myself about an ancient savings account that I had forgotten to tell her about during our initial meeting. Hurrah for being thorough! I thought her fees were on par with other tax prep services (simple filing, renter, not self-employed, MA and federal ~ $160) and was totally worth it considering the time I'd already spent plus the extra fees for e-filing Turbo Tax or H&R Block would have stuck me with ( ~ $80 + HUGE UNCERTAINTY). Plus she answered all my additional questions for free, which other chain services don't do. Anyway, Cyndie really put my mind at ease. I got my refunds back within 2 weeks and my stimulus check came on time in the mail the other week as if I had never filed an extension. Awesome. I'm giving her a high-five next time I see her.

Oh where to start. Reached out to this firm based on a recommendation. All correspondence was via…read moree-mail. Determined that the price for a return was reasonable (estimated around $450-$550) plus whatever extra complications. Sent the partner my previous turbo tax file (per request) and then asked two questions regarding my tax situation. This turned into a bit of an exchange over email, even had to send some additional papers. Mind you, this is all going on way before the actual tax return. One question answered, another not, but it did not matter because I figured once the actual tax prep began I can get all the information. Get a bill a few weeks later for $400 for "emails". Yeah, brutal. Turns out that answering two questions and going over some papers will run you four hundred bucks. Naturally, I resisted as that is crazy. So he offered a discount to $300, but that was still too much. I am being charged for emails what people pay for basic tax returns? Mind you at no point whatsoever do you get warned or that you are on the clock. Few months later collector comes knocking, I explain the situation and seemingly everything is quiet. Nope, they sue me in small claims. I figured why not, there is no way this is reasonable. Feels like a giant firm fleecing the small guy. Court will surely rule in my favor. Nope, clerk magistrate barely cares about my story and rules against me. Best part? The lawyers (yes, two ) had two cases that day. Apparently I am not the only one who finds the practices of this firm shady, underhanded and sneaky. However they still got their money from me one way or another, too bad it was via the courts and not actual services. Stay the hell away folks.

Ferguson & Ferguson is a Salt of the Earth Father Son duo of PHENOMENAL CPAs. I LOVE this firm!!!…read more Honestly, Earl Ferguson helping me with my taxes has been a GAME CHANGER for me. Previously I had used H&R block and just never felt like I was in good hands - It was always some inexperienced kid on rotation who was assigned to file my taxes and overall an uncomfortable experience... so much that I actually became intimidated and overwhelmed by the entire process and didn't file for a couple of years. A completely Polar Opposite experience when walking into Ferguson & Ferguson!! My usual tax anxiety was immediately extinguished as soon as I began chatting with Earl and his son, David. Both Earl and David are extremely professional and go through everything with a fine toothed comb to ensure that you're not paying any extra or missing out on any possibly deductions. Earl even helped me to strategize for the upcoming year to help alleviate my tax burden. It feels good to work with someone you can genuinely trust with your taxes right out of the gate. If you're looking for a judgement free down to earth tax experience, these are your guys. I highly recommend this firm!!

Through the years he has help my family with tax planning and getting my wife's business set up. I strongly recommend Ferguson & Ferguson CPA to anyone that is not looking to work with the H&R Blocks. As for the Lady who answers the phone, I can see how someone might get that impression. She is nice a Lady and a temp worker during their busy season. She doesn't managed their calendars and helps out with menial tasks. Typically she will take a message and David or his Father will call you back.
