Sent out our 1099s using the WRONG ACCOUNT - our Independent Contractors all received 1099s with the employer listed as a veterinary service. Sent out incorrect w2s. All while charging EXORBITANT fees beyond what was agreed to. Whenever we caught them in a mistake, they would make excuses, blaming the state, or us, or "we never got that password." According to the state a significant amount of the paperwork they filed for us was incorrect and we owe a lot of money. The state also said that the company could have gained access to everything they said they "couldn't do" with one phone call to them. Fraud? Incompetence? You decide. Just stay far away if you need a bookkeeper.

I was referred to Teresa from my sister. I was in a terrible position with a previous bookkeeper…read morewho messed up my books for two years badly. I was so happy when I reached out because Teresa is in another state. She was so easy and comforting. She is a forensic accountant so she knows how to analyze accounts. She went in and fixed all of the mistakes of the previous bookkeeper. The last bookkeeper deleted files, deleted clients, transferred stuff to different software and made duplicate mistakes and left out many transactions. After Teresa showed me the digital footprint of what this lady had done I was very upset. The lady was caught and had to repay me the thousands of dollars she charged me. Then Teresa went back and re-filled my taxes for 2015 the correct way and we received a refund as a result. Teresa is ethical and honest. She explains all the tax laws in a way that is easy to understand. I highly reccomend Simple Sums Accounting for all your accounting needs!

This doesn't surprise me as this is the type of communication you can expect from them. They didn't even know I moved, so, it was mailed on Nov. 4th, but, I just received the letter November 16th. I still never received answers since last year that are very important to my business, like, about obtaining a VAT ID. Last year was a nightmare for everyone and I excused a LOT of problems but, this is ridiculous. If you don't need anything done by a certain time, aren't trying to buy a house, like to get ghosted while trying to communicate and get dropped a month before your tax appointment, call them.

I wanted so badly to like this business and support it, but honestly, I was betrayed by my trust in them.

TLDR: Kershaw & Associates cost us just over $14,000 in missed deductions, gave bad advice on…read moreretirement & HSA contributions, took 4 months to complete our return, and had terrible communication throughout. We're in our 30's, have a family, have had the same basic tax situation for 6 years, and are middle income earners- we don't need a genius CPA but we were hoping to build a relationship with a firm who we could grow with and become smarter about our financial picture. Kershaw is NOT it. We used them for the past 4 years, and their service has gotten worse and worse as the firm transferred ownership. In 2016 they missed a HSA deduction- when I found the miss (and did the paperwork myself to amend it) we came out with an extra $2,100 in refunds THAT THEY MISSED. So I asked them to file the amendment with our 2017 taxes and Dawn wanted to charge us $300 to file it....for paperwork that I did myself, on a deduction that they missed. I should have just stopped there, but it was already February 2018 and taxes were due- so we moved ahead with engaging them for another year. During which they moved offices in the middle of tax season (why would they do that?) and as I was eager to get an answer on an IRA contribution we wanted to make before the April 18th deadline I followed up asking for her advice and Dawn kept saying she'd have it by week end or that she'd temporarily misplaced our paperwork. Dawn did eventually get us an answer just before the deadline, telling us not to make a contribution for that year. So we followed her advice and did not. April 18th came and passed, and after chasing her for another few weeks, she told us she had filed for an extension for our taxes- but did not provide an ETA, finally on JUNE 26th we got an email from Cindy that they were ready. I'd also like to note that not once did she request missing information from us- and our new accountant said we were very organized so our documents/info wasn't to blame for the extra time needed here. When I went in for the tax appointment, Dawn lectured me that we should have made an IRA contribution- so I showed her her own email where she told us not to, for which she said she was mistaken- but since it was June there was no way to fix it. She then went on to explain how "generous" she was by not charging additional for the amended return (which was only needed because of their mistake)...and that their fee had gone up by $100. She provided no credit for the extended time, terrible communication, or bad advice that caused us to miss a retirement contribution. The reason I'm writing this review now is because we finally pulled our head out of the sand this year and choose a new accountant. Who at our first 1-hour meeting, pointed out another $7,000 in deductions that Dawn missed. Save yourself time and money and stay far, far away from this firm.

1 Extra star for the location - very easily accessible - although technically that's a bad thing…read moresince I wish I never found the place. I cannot speak for all the staff, maybe most of them are great, but if you want informative, coherent information, stay away from Kevin. I felt a little greasier after having left his office. Maybe it was the privilege of watching him clean up that thing he called lunch after I entered. Or the way he treated the nice front desk lady with dismissive spite, as if she forgot to buy his favorite creamer for the break room. But it was mostly the way he avoided my pointed questions by answering just about anything else other than what I was asking. Want to pay over $100 for an 'educational' meeting where you come out just a little bit stupider? I found just the place. Somehow, every time I asked a question, he circled back around to the same point regarding state taxes. Okay, cool, calm down, Rob. I'm sure he'll stop talking about this super-easy-to-understand concept that I could have just googled in under a minute. Just..gotta..cut him off. No, that's not working, he doesn't take breaths in between sentences. It must have been the mouth-breathing. On my way out, one of the other staff asked, "Did you get all the info you were looking for? He has a way of talking about whatever he wants to talk about." Thank you for the 1 hour late advice. I carried my remaining brain cells out of there and never returned.

You'll spend far less than you would on wasting time with Turbo Tax and H&R block. For the same rate as H&R you'll get quality service and personal touches. They've been around the block and handle your records with as much care as you do. A far cry from the seasonal "get 'em done here" tax outfits. Able Tax is pure professionals, and they get the highest recommendation.
