I was dreading what I was up against!! However, Nationwide Mortgage Bankers was who I chose to go with. Matthew Nieves was my lender. I have to tell you, it was actually easy. Matt did mostly everything for me. He requested documents needed for the mortgage, and then he took care of it all. He is personable, efficient, trustworthy, and detail oriented. He is so hard working that he completed my mortgage in less than one month. Awesome person to have on your side. He tells you something, and he makes it happen. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for a mortgage. You will NOT be disappointed.

​UPDATE: Retaliatory Consumer Deception (Astroturfing) On Monday, July 13, 2026, Rachel Michaelov…read morebypassed my retained legal counsel and texted me directly in a bad-faith attempt to pressure me into deleting my review. I declined. Immediately following this, Ms. Michaelov and her agents launched a coordinated, fraudulent review campaign on their Google Business listing to bury my warning. Prior to this date, the business had not received a single public review in over six months. ​To artificially inflate their rating, she utilized immediate family members and employees posing as neutral retail customers: ​Reviewer 1 (Eli Ran Pinchasov - Son & Employee): Posted a positive review on July 13. His public Facebook profile explicitly reveals his employment as "Works at Empire Tax Advisors." No disclosure of his employment or family relationship was made, directly violating FTC guidelines. ​Reviewer 2 (Joseph Pinchasov - Family Member): On the same day, two separate accounts sharing the owner's immediate family name posted repetitive positive reviews claiming to be a repeat client. ​By fabricating positive peer reviews through immediate family members and employees, Empire is actively engaging in deceptive advertising ("astroturfing") in direct violation of NY General Business Law § 349 & § 350, and NC Gen. Stat. § 75-1.1. ​The owner publicly admitted on April 26, 2026, that she has operated her companies in "chaos mode" for many years, surrounded by "chaos people." If you are a small business owner looking for competent, ethical accounting, look elsewhere. The Upcharge Trap: After a $5,000 deposit on August 27, 2025, I received my regular $1,000 monthly fee for September just days later, followed by an additional $1000 UPCHARGE later the same month to complete the already promised and agreed upon work. However nothing was done, not even a welcome onboarding email with instructions until 30+ days later,  and $7,000+ in collected fees. ​Despite our onboarding call and paperwork laying out my needs prior to receiving a monthly cost, they continued demanding unjustified UPCHARGES of $2,000, $1000, $500, and $250 for services agreed prior to onboarding or signing any agreements as included in the scope of work, without any mention of costing extra. Do not fall for this trap. You are paying them to keep up charging you, only to deliver defective work, no work at all, or halt all work product unless their unexpected and unagreed upcharges are paid. ​Unless you are ready to pay Rachel $10,000 for defective services, and then an additional $10,000 to $100,000 in legal fees to recover your $10,000 investment, look elsewhere immediately. The decade-long public record shows this is a business model rather than a one-time event. Instead of learning from their mistakes and making customers whole, this business resorts to constantly changing names and creating dozens of misleading profiles to dilute complaints. They are relying on the assumption that small businesses lack the $10k required to hold them accountable in court.

I&U CPA was awesome to work with!! Best decision we made! We've always done our own taxes, but this…read moreyear, after getting married, moving (husband and I lived in different states then moved to NY together, which meant filing in 3 states), having rental income and other investments, we finally decided our taxes were too complicated and hired a CPA. We looked around quite a bit for a good CPA that we could trust and got some recommendations from friends as well as yelp reviews. I&U CPA was one of the only places with great reviews and VERY reasonable rates. They were also the fastest to respond to my questions. The whole process was so painless and easy. Unlike other places where I'd have to arrange an in person meeting and bring in physical documents (ex. H&R block), I was able to upload everything to a secure portal from home. Even though I'm sure they were very busy with other clients, I always felt like we were a priority. I got updates and emails from them at all hours of the day, even well past their work hours. Responses were always within a few hours, if not minutes. And within a week, our taxes were completed and filed, stress-free! To my surprise, the extra cost of going with a professional vs. doing it ourselves using turbo tax paid off too. Before going with I&U CPA, we tried turbo tax and H&R block's online program, and every which way we tried manipulating the numbers, the refund calculated using the 2 programs always came out within 100 dollars difference of each other. We felt we had a good idea of what our refund would be this year. I&U CPA, however, was able to find other deductions that added up to over an additional $1000 in tax refunds. They also ran an analysis to see if we'd benefit more from filing married jointly or single. So if you're looking for a CPA, just stop looking here. You are going to get amazing, personalized service from really professional, knowledgeable and experienced people at a really affordable price! You can thank me later.

I have only even spoken over the phone with I&U, but I was so impressed at the level of honesty and…read moreintegrity of the CPA that I spoke to that I had to leave a review. Having identified my specific set of concerns and situation, the man I spoke to actually talked me out of doing business with them, and advised that I maintain my relationship with my current accountant. He could've easily taken my money and done my taxes, but it wasn't in my best interest for him to do so and I am grateful that he was upfront about it. Not to mention all the free advice and how he thoroughly explained things to me in such a kind, patient, and straightforward manner. If this is any indicator of the the way they do business, then they are a true gem!

I've made it clear I'm not interested in funding, not looking to talk, and they just don't care. The reps are pushy and rude. One of them even hit me with "why should I do that" when I asked to be taken off the call list. That right there told me everything I needed to know. If you're a business owner or someone who deals with money, don't even entertain these folks. The way they operate feels shady, unprofessional, and straight-up harassing. I wouldn't trust them with a dime.
