I paid more than $17,000 in additional taxes as a result of filing the return that these folks…read moreprepared. When they asked for my signature on the tax return shortly before the filing deadline, they failed to mention that they changed (from the prior year return) a key aspect of the return which increased my tax liability by the $17K. Even my tax collectors told me that DK screwed up. When I asked to schedule a call with a partner to discuss the matter, they refused to even talk it over. Instead, they took an totally adversarial approach, and cited this language in their engagement letter: "You have the final responsibility for the income tax returns, and therefore, you should review them carefully before you sign them." Simply translated: 'You pay for our screw-ups.' So if you are an accountant and can ensure their work is proper, maybe you are in a good position to hire them. For everyone else, know that their work quality, in my experience, is far below what you can get from India.

We have used any number of accounting companies over the years but have always been unhappy with the amount charged or the level of the expertise employed. Once we found these guys we stopped looking. They have been first class in every respect. Their rates have always been very reasonable. In addition they are small enough so the service has been very personal and timely. Their attention to detail has been excellent as well, they don't ever seem to miss anything. This company is easy to recommend.

I reached out to this company to consider hiring for my taxes. My previous CPA and I had become…read moregood friends over the years, and he never had a problem with doing my taxes, quickly and efficiently! However, unfortunately he passed away. I'm a senior so have been doing self employment taxes for many decades. Never, and I do mean NEVER have I encountered (as I also see some reviews say here), such TOTAL RUDENESS and lack of caring or ability to treat a potential client with courtesy, unprofessional behavior, and just general incompetence as with this firm! It may just be that I made an appointment with the senior/owner, who stated up front that he'd be retiring soon.... I was early for the appointment, but then waited for 45 minutes AFTER the appointment time, with no apology, and then almost an hour of going over "how I'd done everything incorrectly," with nothing short of berating me, and how he wanted it done, diagramed for me (which was fine, but then he didn't want me to take notes saying that he'd give me the diagram, only to FORGET to give me the diagram!), and he didn't seem to know how to even make a copy of the few documents that needed to be sent w/ returns, so he just kept the originals... I would have made copies ahead, but my printer was malfunctioning, and we are talking less than 10 pages of W2's,etc.. Went home feeling like "Man! Does this guy have early dementia w/ temper issues, or what?" After I worked for several hours back home to "re-organize" what was always easy for my other CPAs to use, I sent to him, only to receive yet further ridicule from "Larry" who after waiting almost 2 weeks to get back to me, then said when I finally called to find out "if he received or had any questions" that he'd "had thousands of clients and not one had ever questioned or had trouble following his directions!" He then got really angry and said that he "didn't think we were a good match and he would not be able to prepare my taxes!" So, if you go with this firm, I hope that the younger son or daughter in the firm (Larry's kids), will be able to treat you with courtesy and competence. Larry definitely needs to retire. To the extreme that I copied my letter back to him to his son, hoping that perhaps he'd take over for a potential new and easy to work with client.... I'm guessing they walk on eggshells around their dad. Sad, but not the way to run a successful firm!

[Transparency alert: copying this from LinkedIn because Sandy is AWESOME and this is all 100%…read moreaccurate. She's done my taxes 2 years in a row now and will continue doing so as long as she'll have me] I'm going to keep it short because I could go on for a long long while about just how great Sandy has been for me as my CPA. But first, a quick story... I found Sandy on Yelp the year after I got back into freelancing. The year before, I had met someone through a friend who said "Oh I can do your taxes -- and I only get paid 10% of what you get BACK, so if you owe anything, you don't pay me." Sounds great, right? Yeeeeeah that's illegal. And Sandy pointed that out to me when I first met with her. This guy created a turbotax account in my name and then filed taxes not as my representative but as me. That means that if any issues (or god forbid audits) came up, I have zero protection. Sandy rescued me. She was patient and worked with me and even went through and sorted my "shoebox o' doom" just filled to the brim with uncategorized, unorganized receipts. AND THEN ... she *apologized* that I owed 3k in taxes (thought it'd be WAY higher). Fast forward one year -- she's still my CPA (and will be for years to come) -- and this year I owed 11k and was THRILLED to pay that because Sandy saved me SO much more than that. If you need a LEGITIMATE CPA to help you with: - setting up accounting systems - doing your taxes - helping you organize your finances You're going to have a tough time finding one who will produce better work at a better rate (AND care about the work) than Sandy. 11 out of 10 stars (that's how you math, right Sandy?)
