I&U CPA was awesome to work with!! Best decision we made! We've always done our own taxes, but this…read moreyear, after getting married, moving (husband and I lived in different states then moved to NY together, which meant filing in 3 states), having rental income and other investments, we finally decided our taxes were too complicated and hired a CPA. We looked around quite a bit for a good CPA that we could trust and got some recommendations from friends as well as yelp reviews. I&U CPA was one of the only places with great reviews and VERY reasonable rates. They were also the fastest to respond to my questions. The whole process was so painless and easy. Unlike other places where I'd have to arrange an in person meeting and bring in physical documents (ex. H&R block), I was able to upload everything to a secure portal from home. Even though I'm sure they were very busy with other clients, I always felt like we were a priority. I got updates and emails from them at all hours of the day, even well past their work hours. Responses were always within a few hours, if not minutes. And within a week, our taxes were completed and filed, stress-free! To my surprise, the extra cost of going with a professional vs. doing it ourselves using turbo tax paid off too. Before going with I&U CPA, we tried turbo tax and H&R block's online program, and every which way we tried manipulating the numbers, the refund calculated using the 2 programs always came out within 100 dollars difference of each other. We felt we had a good idea of what our refund would be this year. I&U CPA, however, was able to find other deductions that added up to over an additional $1000 in tax refunds. They also ran an analysis to see if we'd benefit more from filing married jointly or single. So if you're looking for a CPA, just stop looking here. You are going to get amazing, personalized service from really professional, knowledgeable and experienced people at a really affordable price! You can thank me later.

I have only even spoken over the phone with I&U, but I was so impressed at the level of honesty and…read moreintegrity of the CPA that I spoke to that I had to leave a review. Having identified my specific set of concerns and situation, the man I spoke to actually talked me out of doing business with them, and advised that I maintain my relationship with my current accountant. He could've easily taken my money and done my taxes, but it wasn't in my best interest for him to do so and I am grateful that he was upfront about it. Not to mention all the free advice and how he thoroughly explained things to me in such a kind, patient, and straightforward manner. If this is any indicator of the the way they do business, then they are a true gem!

Story Tax & Financial Services has been the most phenomenal tax prep experince I have ever had in…read moreall aspects. My journey in filing my taxes has always made me feel uneasy until now. When I first began, I had my mom do my taxes with her tax preparer and I did not understand the process of how it was done and her tax preparer would process it wrong at times stating I owed money when I didn't for example. So after that frustration I decided to get help from a friend and they were not completely clear on how to do it and one does not get their highest refund. So then I finally decided to invest in a tax preparer myself last year. I choice H&R black because it was close and I wanted to go on person. I paid a high price only to leave feeling confused about how my taxes was processed. I did not feel comfortable to ask as many questions about what was happening on the screen because when I would, the preparer would quickly answer and then change the subject to ask me questions regarding my personal life. I left feeling like I had not understood the full process of my taxes filed, I did not get my questions answered concerning my other taxes, and I was not taught how to navigate the profile that I had online despite it was in person. Now coming to Story Tax was such a different experince. I was hesitant at first because it was not close and the service was not in person but it was the best choice I made. I left feeling like I understood how my taxes was processed, all my questions was answered, I was instructed on how to use the website over a phone call, when I got out he website it was super efficient and easy to navigate (it felt like when you trying to get somewhere and you don't even have to wait for the train). On top of that I got the highest refund and the customer service from Jessica was outstanding. She is transparent, focused, professional, patient, respectful, and fantastic to work with. She is informed and knows what she is doing! Hands down, highly recommend. My loyalty is sealed!

I've worked with Innovative Accounting Solutions professionally and personally for over two years,…read moreand have been nothing but impressed with this team of accountants and bookkeepers. Professional, thorough, and friendly, they helped my small non-profit maintain our books and prepare our annual taxes and filings. Yanina Karlinsky, one of the founders of IAS, came to our office bi-weekly to help us track expenses and cut checks. She also provided sound advice about financial matters whenever we needed some additional help. I have also used IAS to prepare and file my personal taxes. The firm has taken great care of me, and makes sure to ask the right questions so I get the biggest refund possible. They have always ensured that my taxes are filed early. I trust Yanina's team and would highly recommend them for any small business, non-profit venture, or individual who needs any of a variety of accounting services.

"TAX-RELAXED" is a good feeling. Here's how to get it. I AM…read moreBOTH AN INDIVIDUAL AND A SMALL BUSINESS CLIENT OF GABRIAL ACCOUNTING AND HAVE WORKED WITH MS. ACOURY FOR 5 YEARS NOW. There is a special personal reason why I am writing this lengthy review - please read it in its entirety to learn why, so that your faith is raised in the veracity of what I've written. If more people had Mary Acoury (Gabrial Accounting) in their "tax corner" this country would run far more smoothly and the first 100 days of each calendar year would feature less angry/worried grimaces plastered on the faces of tax-paying citizens. For reasons of privacy, I can't provide ALL the details that would convince you to zoom over to Ms. Acoury with your documents in hand (be they personal, LLC or corporate) - so you'll have to read between the lines and take comfort in the fact that I'm an honest man who would never deceive or exaggerate something (in public, no less) this important to gain favor with anyone. My situation is unusual and a bit complicated compared to most. It doesn't come from wealth and how to hold onto it and so I can't afford a high-overhead, outrageous hourly fee type professional in order to be "tax relaxed." I had to find a tax expert who had all the competence possible blended with an individual who was empathetic AND professional in their approach. If you've been in this bind then you know it isn't an easy task. My family had recently encountered the New American Nightmare where catastrophic health issues and a recently launched entrepreneurial effort intersect. I'd sold valuable shares just before the nightmare and every plan we'd made evaporated overnight. My previous tax firm had grown really BIG and they "let go" of lower-worth clients (I still think that's murky ethical ground) ... I wanted to find a new accounting "partner" that would never do such a thing to their clients. Ms. Acoury was a referral - and it was, for me, a lifesaver. THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING THIS REFERRAL NOW ... it may sound corny but receiving Mary's name was something of a blessing and I want to "pay it back" or "pay it forward" - it would be a good thing for anyone needing to switch or just ready for a professional bench, to be shown the way to Gabrial Accounting, as was I. My background is such that I believe you can trust my assessment. The qualities that Ms. Acoury and staff embody that I find to be quite differentiating from other CPA's, include (note: the individual qualities are important but it's the BLEND of qualities that make her far more rare than common). She and her company are: -professional, accurate and "demanding" when they SHOULD be demanding -quick to research what is unusual in the presentation of your financials (no best guesses) -empathetic to the right degree -responsive by text, email, phone (I'm certainly not a big client but you wouldn't know that from response times) -cutting edge/impressive in handling, storage, maintenance of your documents & tax records -flexible and not simply bound by internal company rules -prone to make you look better than you truly are by applying their professionalism to your -potentially disorganized mess (i.e. me) If you would like to speak to me directly, feel free to send me an email. ctraynor@whip-smart.com with a phone number and a good time to contact you and I'll be glad to speak to you in more detail. OTHERWISE, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY RECOMMEND THE SERVICES (AND THE PERSON BEHIND THOSE SERVICES) PROVIDED BY GABRIAL ACCOUNTING & TAX!

I asked the receptionist to print out a piece of paper so l could finish my taxes. The accountant Ellen Fusco screamed at me demanding to know why l'm using their printer. I was a client of 9 years and have used their printer in the past. She was screaming at me to the point i was so scared, embarrassed, and upset. She berated me in front of other clients and workers. She said she was too busy and didn't have time to help, but had the time to scream at me over a printer she doesn't own. I requested a tax extension and Ellen Fusco announced to the whole office I needed the extension because I didn't have the money to pay my own taxes. Save your money, time, and sanity and find another establishment. Ellen Fusco is so scary and a mentally troubled woman. I took my taxes to a more professional business where I can use the printer without fear.
