They won't even consider it....even if they died an hour after Platinum gets your money. In fact, a quick death is the perfect scenario for their business model. Cash the check and do the least amount of work. I am reasonable and just wanted a discussion if there was any refund of $20,995 of my mom's money (she was a teacher, so this is about a half year of her work). I received zero benefits from retaining Platinum. Not only did I not get any consideration (I would've taken a nominal amount), but within hours of her death I was told that I was on my own as far as the payment to the facility she was in. Double whammy. Don't do it.

I cannot speak to their quality as accountants, simply because we never got past the initial phone…read morecall. I am new to the area and was looking for an accountant and also some advice on financial management. I explained my needs to the girl on the phone, I believe her name was Christine, the immediate response was "we require a $250 deposit". I was taken aback a little. I was not opposed to the deposit, I would not mind giving the deposit prior to them doing work for me, but do they understand this is an interview process? I may not want you to do work for me, or you may not want to handle my finances. That is what an initial meeting is for. It was explained that too many people have them prepare taxes, then claim they have no money. Fine, require the deposit when work is requested, or don't release returns without payment, but don't lump me into a group with deadbeats in the initial phone call. Meet me first, find out I have a near perfect credit score, see that I have a pretty healthy account balance, contact my previous accountant, see if their bill were paid. Then when I bring you all my paperwork, explain that you generally require a deposit. I would have happily given it at that time, but let me see you are worth it first. If the customer service presented at the initial call is indicative of how they handle their clients, then I would find another accountant.
