As a small business owner, I highly recommend Core Group. Back in 2010, when my business had grown…read moreto the point of needing (a lot) of professional help with taxes, payroll, and other business-related items that tended to give me headaches, we interviewed several CPA firms here in Tulsa that specialized in small businesses. Core Group pretty much blew everyone else out of the water, and we've been very satisfied customers ever since. Our amazing Relationship Manager, Jeremy Doorn, has always been very responsive to our questions and needs, and has given great advice, not only from a business tax standpoint, but also a personal tax perspective. Over the years, they helped my business grow, and in turn, I've been honored to watch them grow as well. If you need a CPA firm that is profit-oriented, business-centric, and on fire for helping their clients, Core is your answer. In my opinion, they are the best small-business CPA firm on the planet.

We moved our payroll to Red River back in 2018 and it was the best decision of our year. We were…read moreable to provide our employees better technology and faster service. Our reports are delivered automatically instead of having to request them weekly. It feeds right into our system reducing the need for extra data entry. The portal allows employees to get their information when they need it instead of when it can be provided. We couldn't be happier with the decision and love the relationship we have with our payroll provider. They are fast and accurate with timely communication making it easy to get issues resolved when we have them. I highly recommend this company whether you have 5 employees or 500. The biggest difference is that they care about doing it right.

I legally started a small business and was clueless about accounting or taxes. I had a rather…read moredetailed expense and income spreadsheet, but that was all. I contacted Shockley in April 2022 to do my taxes. I admit that I was sweating it. Wil Sutherland at Shockley Bookkeeping and Tax Services did the best job for me! I have been telling all my friends about him. He put me at ease, perused my documentation, and then handled my taxes like a professional. He even found a refund for me! Yea! In comparison to others, Shockley was the best for the money. The respect shown to me and peace of mind in having my taxes done correctly is priceless. Thank you, Wil! Debbie Hampton

In my opinion this is a very bad place to do business. I also feel that they are not very…read moreknowledgeable and don't have the customer's best interest in mind. In 2022 I had one of their Sr tax consultants help me with a non standard w2/tax issue. Their consultant was helpful and provided a written letter to do document the situation and provide to my employer. He also said that in 2023 we would have to correct the issue. Fast forward to 2023 I tried for 2 week to get ahold of the tax consultant to complete this issue. He never returned my calls. I even tried to talk to a receptionist and she could not get ahold of him. She advised that I come in to see one of the Sr tax consultants. I went to the appointment and explained what happened and the situation. He repeatedly said that there was nothing he could do, even after I provided a copy of the letter from 2022. After about 10 min of this and explaining the situation multiple time the Shockley staff keep saying not to blame him or get mad at time. At this point the rude behavior was more than I was willing to take, so I got up and left. At this point he used profanity and followed me to the door of the business verbally badgering me. He continued to badger me even as i was getting in my car. By advising me on a course of action and then the next not help does not leave me feeling that they are capable or knowledgeable about their services. The using profanity and badgering me as i left the business makes me feel like they do not have the customer's interest in mind.
