We had a wonderful experience using Castel Accounting Solutions for filing our taxes this year. The team was professional and helped us navigate doing our taxes correctly and efficiently as it was our first year filing jointly. I appreciate the team as they helped us save money in the long run instead of using sites like TurboTax! We will be using them again! read more

Tl;Dr: Castel Accounting Solutions LLC is responsible for failed business reclassification, $3K errors, missed deadlines, unreliable and misleading communication, inaccurate returns, IRS/state penalties, and thousands in refunds delayed by months. I first contacted this Castel Accounting LLC in December 2024 to reclassify the business from S-corp to LLC and complete business and personal tax returns. I provided documents beginning in March. After saying we needed to file extensions, it wasn't until June when Cris assured us the business and personal tax filing would be done "in a day." Then it took nearly a month until he requested our IRS e-file PIN that is required to file. He still didn't file until months later (September) after I couldn't find our refunds and had tracked with the IRS that neither the returns nor the business reclassification had been submitted. They blamed migrating technology as the problem, which could account for some of this, but also flies in the face of how many emails and ways we tried to contact them. We hired an attorney to review our case. The business required an amended return because of a $3000 inaccuracy. These delays held up thousands in refunds while late fee demands from the IRS and state DoR amounted to $1200. The attorney supports us in writing these reviews based on the evidence. Do your research. While their business is legitimate, they are not CPAs and are not registered with the state. If you need a trustworthy, competent accountant, look elsewhere. read more

I was initially impressed with Cris after our first call, but the experience quickly declined. He often forgot key details from previous conversations and came unprepared to scheduled calls, rushing through calculations and asking me to remind him of numbers he had already given. After filing and paying, it took weeks to receive a copy of my return, my emails went unanswered, and I later discovered he never accepted my QuickBooks invitation--missing the majority of my deductions. Most concerning, he applied the Augusta Rule for months when I was renting, despite both written and verbal clarification that I didn't purchase a home until mid-November. While he did have creative ideas for savings, the poor execution has cost me thousands in penalties, interest, and the expense of amending my return. Though he offered to file the amendment at no charge, the lack of communication, accuracy, and follow-through has left me with zero trust or confidence in his services. read more

This is the Castel experience: four months after tax day had passed, we found out from the lawyer we'd had to involve on account of blown deadlines, broken promises, and weeks of ghosting that not one person in the firm was a CPA. We hired Castel for our business (an S-Corp) and personal taxes, not knowing that no one there is a CPA. Our intake interview was on 12/30/24; Castel had over two months to tell us that March 15 was the S-Corps filing deadline. They didn't. Nico said he would let us know by April 11 if we needed to file an extension. He didn't. On April 13 Cris took over and requested documents and information that we had already supplied; he had neither checked the portal nor been briefed by Nico. We effectively started over two days before Tax Day. Cris discussed the S-Corp with us but said nothing about the deadline having passed. On 4/22/25 he said our taxes would be finished in a day or two. Castel's poor communication got worse in May. After an email on 5/9/25 saying Cris was finishing our returns, we received no responses to our calls, texts, or emails until 5/27, when Cris said he expected to have our returns done "soon." After some further ghosting, Castel sent us an authorization to file form on 6/16/25. On July 8, we found out about the blown S-Corp deadline when the IRS fined us. Castel claimed to not've been aware of the existence of the S-Corp. That is a lie; we discussed it in our first communication with them (12/26/24). On July 28 Cris asked for our IRS PIN, meaning that it was nearly August he had just begun filing. Castel again stopped responding for most of August. On 8/21/25, office manager Cynthia Montoya claimed Castel had uploaded 15 documents to the client portal. We emailed Montoya screenshots proving that Castel had not uploaded anything. She never responded. We met with Cris on 9/4/25 to discuss all of this. He promised to file our taxes by the end of the day on 9/11/25. He ghosted us again and did not file our taxes until 9/13/25. Do not hire Castel if you want a firm that maintains communication, answers your questions, supplies you with important information, meets deadlines, tells the truth, or in any way cares about their clients. read more

I have been a client at Castel Accounting for the past two years and am so happy I found them. Cris has made tax season a breeze and stress free and I couldn't be happier with his services. I also use Castel Accounting for my business accounting needs and I couldn't feel more confident in my decision in doing so. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a genuine, patient, kind and highly knowledgeable accountant. read more

Absolute fantastic experience. Cris is highly knowledgeable and the best in the area. He is patient, understanding, and professional. He took the time to review all sections carefully and kindly provided me with an answer to any questions I had during the process. He made me feel comfortable and confident in the process and his work while he filled out my tax forms. I wouldn't take my business anywhere else! read more
