They've proactively filed extensions when needed, reminded me about extra forms or reports as regulations change, answered a bunch of random questions about weird tax situations, and been speedy with preparing returns. For simple returns, I believe the govt should offer & expand free tax filing, but when situations get more complicated, this is who you want helping you. Highly recommend getting a consultation if you are looking for a CPA firm in the Austin area.

We have been using Sumi for several years for non-trivial/non-simple taxes and she's been great…read more Every year she has more information for me about possible deductions that have been added to the tax code or how I can better prepare for the next year, so in addition to doing taxes I'm unable to do on my own, her service improves for me year after year. A brief description of the non-trivial taxes Sumi has handled for us: * My wife works normal w-2 wages, and we have normal easy turbotax tax concerns like property tax and mortgage interest and 1099-INT or 1099-DIV deductions from savings. * I work a 1099 contractor job (software engineering) where I pay estimated taxes throughout the year and have additional self-employed deductions that I'm allowed to take for work-related expenses. * I have a single member LLC for some iPhone apps I've published on the app store. * I'm part of a dual-member LLC for other apps a friend and I published and maintain. For my needs, Sumi does it all: * She does our normal easy turbotax bits. * She handles our dual-member LLC form 1065/K-1 paperwork I have no Idea how to do. * She handles my single member LLC paperwork and advises me on how to better do my 1099-income related deductions year after year. * She reminds me to file state-related franchise tax forms related to the LLCs every year. * She helps me prepare for estimated tax payments by doing the math for me and giving me pre-filled tax payments, and reminding me to talk to her about the Jan 15 one at the tail end of the year to fix any discrepencies in estimated vs actual income come year end. * She always advises me every year on new slightly more complicated tax measures I could take (Such as creating an S-CORP for myself if 1099 becomes a long term employment situation for me), but she is also very understanding of my preference to keep things simple as long as possible (and two LLCs plus 1099 income is already complicated enough as is!). Sumi is very kind and helpful, always. And, she always does her homework for me, as there have been some non-trivial / abnormal tax situations related to the dual-member LLC where she has gone back to tax books and tax peers to double check her advice before giving it. Sumi is one of those rare professionals who makes your life easier rather than more complex and makes you very glad you found her rather than someone less helpful or too over-your-head with tax legalese speak.

Need a CPA, better check elsewhere. This is one or at least​ in my​ case, one of the worst CPA's in…read morethe area. Basically and simply greedy and wanting to do the least amount of work possible to get their paycheck. I literally had never used a CPA before ​and expressed this before coming into office. I was promised I would be taken care of, informed through the ​process and I can tell you, I was basically "taken" advantage of. I met Brandon (whose​ initials are a ​representation of the office) and tried to ask him questions during our less than​ 5-minute​ meeting that was rushed. From the get-go​, the documents I was told to have prepared for the meeting were insufficient and Brandon requested more items. Which was fine but remember I am new to utilizing a CPA and relying on Brandon's office to help me prior to our meeting, which was simply emailed me a form of documents to bring which I had, but obviously the doc they sent was not updated. Next was just the overall customer experience... During my 5 minutes, ​Brandon maybe said 5 words, "hmmm", "oh" and "nodded" at the docs I did bring in. Literally still no explanation of anything, from what I need to do from the customer side of things...this continued throughout the rest of experience I encountered for this meeting and the duration of​ months I worked with the office. I never directly spoke with Brandon again, just got sent on my way and told to bring more documents. I should have cut ties immediately and took my service elsewhere but I just thought, maybe I just drop docs off and that's how a CPA works. Far from the truth as you are paying them to advise and work with you on your taxes... Advise from a professional standpoint better than me using FREE to $50 TurboTax​. Hence, why you hear​ people say I can't advise on that, it's recommended you get a "tax professional". I tried to ask to come in the ​office to figure out what was actually going on ​if I was actually doing what I needed, and had questions and was deflected through email over and over again and did not feel any value as a client. "...Therefore, we are not responsible. Please take your business elsewhere." The last sentence written in an email to an error I literally figured would be minuscule ended our relationship. Please don't always believe the website of a company, as BKM has great marketing, not customer service. Visit their website today and you will see what I mean. http://brandonkmoorecpa.com See "Our Commitment", "Our Goal", "We Offer" sections I really hope they consider addressing issues of being more involved with their clients. If my case is unique, I'd reply treat every client the same and your business will reflect your actions.
