As a small business, our corporate and individual tax returns have gone up every year that we have…read moreworked with them. Additionally, they have problems maintaining employees and have had to work with new people every single year. When we go in for very specific Quickbooks work, they always have "billed us" for additional time they needed to review our Quickbooks. At the end of the day, if you are a SMB business, you are probably better off going with another CPA firm.....who will treat you with a bit more respect and understands what it's like to be a small business and will treat you accordingly. Additionally, working with some of the people there is sometimes good and sometimes bad. The main reason things are bad, is b/c their is a Senior Manager who lacks any "bedside manner" and will make you feel stupid for asking him questions about your tax return. Each year we have also had mistakes that they didn't account for...i.e. they forgot to include our benefits as tax deductible items and they left off the fact that we pre-paid our taxes. These were both mistakes that we found.....which ultimately left us wondering what else have they missed???? The partner that brought us to the firm left shortly after she "sold us" on working with them.

Be forewarned: On June 22, 2018, I received a "Dear John" letter from Elliott Davis LLC, an…read moreaccounting firm. I have been with my same CPA for 30 plus years until the company merged with Elliott Davis many years ago. I continued to be a client of Elliott Davis. On June 22, 2018, out of the blue, I received a cold and heartless letter from a major shareholder of Elliott Davis that stated they were "firing" me as a client. I learned that the reason was that I did not bring into the company enough revenue. In other words, Elliott Davis only wants big fishes. Before you do any business with Elliott Davis, be aware of what this company is all about. Your individual concerns are no longer their concerns. Be forewarned!!!

I don't have prior experience with CPAs, so I have nothing to compare Thiem & McCutcheon to, but…read moreBen McCutcheon is awesome. The last couple of years, I could not and cannot bear the thought of seeing how much I pay the government out of my paycheck, nor how much I pay them in student loan interest, so I stuff all of my papers (admittedly not many) into a Ziplock bag and take them to Ben. He's so nice and has never once made me feel rushed during his hectic tax season. He answers all my questions and acts as a semi-counselor as I bitch and moan about taxes. They also upload Sharefile links to you each year which gives you notice to get your stuff together and is super easy in case you don't feel like getting downtown to see them. Check Ben out!

We have been using David Thiem, CPA, for over 40 years to do both our personal and business taxes…read moreand have NEVER had a problem with either he or his firm. They have helped us with payroll questions for our business and they do as little or as much as we need help with. Our personal returns are quite complicated because of the businesses we own and sometimes our returns are over 150 pages! We happily pay our bill each year and always check the square for IRS or SC Tax Commission to speak to Mr. Thiem regarding our information if need be. Mr. Thiem has represented us in two or three separate audits and they have all come out favorably - he stands behind what he puts on paper, so be truthful to him! He always knows that we need an extension and automatically files one for us - what a great person to have on your side! With Mr. Thiem nearing retirement, we hope that Mr. McCutcheon will be ready to handle all of our business (which we don't doubt for a second!) as we will stay with this long-established firm! You won't be sorry if you go to them, they are very professional and the tax people know and respect this firm!!
