I typically just use Turbotax for my taxes and my partner's taxes if it's a simple tax year, but a…read morefew years ago I had ridiculously complicated taxes to correct and file from being incorrectly paid as an independent contractor instead of as an employee (long story short: I was young and naive with a terrible boss who tried to skip paying for my taxes; it was kind of a mess). So I went to Steve and he and his staff completely took care of everything, and explained it all to me. It was totally seamless and the fee was so reasonable too! Later on I moved across the country and looked locally for a new CPA for my partner's taxes that were slightly complicated from the move, but all of the quotes I was getting were astronomical (think $500+ fee), so I reached out to Steve and he was super nice and took care of my taxes again remotely without a problem, again for a much more reasonable price and in the middle of the busy tax season no less. I definitely would recommend Steve; he's the best!

I was contacted about 2 weeks later to schedule an appointment to come in to review our returns so they could be filed. I believe I met with Roger Cowen based on the pictures on their website, but he never introduced himself to me. We sat down in his office to review our returns, and one of the first things he said to me was "I need to see your husband!" When I asked why, he said because we're paying too much in taxes, so I asked him to explain our taxes and help me understand how to reduce our tax liability. He talked in circles, never answered my questions, was very rude and condescending to me (I felt like I was being scolded for paying too much in taxes), and had clearly not reviewed our tax forms or prior returns because he couldn't answer any of my questions about them. By the 3rd or 4th time he said "I need to see your husband," I stopped the conversation and asked why he kept saying that and why he needed to see my husband. He said - "because I need to speak to the person who manages the money and finances." I said THAT'S ME! I asked why he would assume that my husband manages our finances and not me, and said I was completely insulted that he thinks that only men could possibly manage a family's finances. He then abruptly ended the conversation, only pointed out where we needed to sign to authorize electronic filing, never apologized, wouldn't even speak to me, and said "I'll walk you out." Some might consider this to be gender discrimination.
