And since I'm now studying Federal Income Tax and the US taxation system, watching him work is really interesting. He's knowledgable and will try to get you a maximum refund. I recommend seeing David if you come here. His office is in the back. But whatever you do, do not let Sylvia do your taxes. I made that mistake once and seeing her prepare my taxes scared me. She often times inputed the wrong information, or on the wrong line. Not to mention, she checked the wrong box while filing the tuition section of my taxes. I've been in college for 6 years now so she was supposed to check "Lifelong Leaners" since there's a different deduction section for it. Luckily I caught it! Jeez.. She also made other mistakes, but I'm not going to list them because the review would be far too lengthy and I wouldn't want to bore you. Oh, she also had the audacity to try to rip me off. David usually only charges me $40-45 for tax preparation, and when Sylvia was done preparing my taxes, she said it'll be $100. WHAT?!! I told her David only charges me $45 and she said, "Okay, I'll give you a $5 discount." Like, what the fuck is your $5 discount going to do for me. When she realized that I was upset and went through my previous tax filing and saw that I did in fact come here numerous of times, she said she'll "only charge me $50." I paid and left immediately. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Not only did she not know what she was doing, but she tried to rip me off. Dumb broad... All in all, WAIT FOR DAVID TO PREPARE YOUR TAXES.

Spectrum provided me a quote that was higher than average but I decided to go with them anyway. My final invoice was ~40% higher than the initial quote. They split the invoice into parts and send it over multiple months. Spectrum refused to reply to my emails and then started charging sending me invoices for late payments. Finally, I receive an email explaining that estimates are never accurate. How can they claim their estimates are off by 40% if they are half the professionals they claim they are. Please, please stay away from Spectrum Financial, Tamara Berges and Janis Greene.

I sent a letter myself explaining why I thought they were wrong but simply got a response back that seemed like they ignored my explanation. I then heard and ad for Fresh Start Tax Relief on the radio and figured I would reach out and see if they could help. Boy did they come through. They helped me deal with the IRS bureaucracy and refiling my taxes for the years in question. In the end I still had to pay a very small amount but it was a FRACTION of what the IRS wanted at first. I am truly grateful for their hard work and will totally use them again if I have have any more issues in the future. I very much recommend Fresh Start Tax Relief if you have trouble with the IRS.

After signing on I soon found out all of the people working on my books are all out of state and getting ahold of them was extremely difficult and would take days to get any sort of response. They are also terrible at keeping track of their own billing and over charged me multiple times for back bookkeeping and tax preparation. Luckily once they even over paid me on a refund they owed me. I constantly had them pulling money from my account that was not authorized to be removed and when I would ask for a refund I would have to wait days for the money to be returned and it would never be returned the same way it was taken. I would usually have to get them to Venmo me. When I tried to bring my concerns to Craig the owner, and the guy who came into my shop to earn my business, couldn't be bothered to join a Zoom meeting I requested and when we did finally get him to join he was extremely rude and dismissive. I am now almost 4 months out of leaving this firm and my new accountants are still fixing his mistakes. Working with the company has cost me nearly an extra $1000 in back book keeping, had my last years taxes rejected and I have never received worse tax prep from anyone. Beware of doing business here
