    After reaching out to ~8 different firms, I decided to go with Ter (and Claeys Wolkens & Associates, his firm).

They were professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to client service--every concern was addressed promptly.

She apologized for the poor communication, which I appreciate--though I'm not sure why the administrative assistant (whose role I assume is to communicate/schedule on behalf of the accountant) is less communicative than the accountant herself? They are very responsive when trying to get your business, but as soon as you pay they disappear off the face of the earth. I have no idea what the status of my tax return is, nor whether the proper returns were even filed. One of the state tax departments reached out to me asking me to pay more and Dimov tax will not even confirm whether they filed that return, nor advise me on what should be done. The "administrative assistant" assigned to my case has not responded to my emails for a week, and when I try to call her it instantly gets sent to voicemail. I'm not sure what kind of people get 5-star treatment here, but it's certainly not everyone. In the past, we've also tried to schedule calls due to difficulty communicating and getting answers over emails, but the staff made it extremely difficult to do so, asked for what our questions were over email, and then gave non-answers to the questions and cancelled the meeting saying that the questions were already answered. I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that it was peak tax season when we reached out and hence we had difficulty reaching them, but the pattern is very clear: when they want payment, they will respond; after payment is given, service drops to almost zero. I would highly advise you to stay away from this business.

I never feel rushed or anything like that. A reminder is sent in December to let you know that you should schedule an appointment or upload all your documents to the SmartVault before the appointment or as a substitute for your appointment. Smart Vault is where they store all your past tax documents, which comes in handy if it's ever needed. This year, I decided to explore the other options and utilized the SmartVault option, so all I had to do was upload all my documents and just wait until Joe get a chance to process it. Joe called me with additional questions. After all said and done, he sent me notification that it's ready to file, and all I had to do was reviewed, signed, scanned, and upload to SmartVault for filing. The invoice for the service is also included, and you can make a payment over the phone with Sally. This is so convenient, and such an innovation way to do your taxes without having to leave the comfort of your home and fight traffic. Super awesome! And I will definitely be back, and suggest you do too!

Before finding out about Jessica, I called up all these other tax agencies and spoke with people that didn't sound like they really knew what they were talking about and many times gave me conflicting information. When I spoke with Jessica, she was able to give me good answers to my questions that I was able to understand, and also gave me great suggestions for my business! I called her probably about 3 times during those first few weeks, and was worried she would get annoyed with my questions, but she never did and always seemeed happy to hear from me. She helped me out with my state taxes, which literally, took maybe 2 minutes to complete. Wow! Talk about fast in-and-out service. I was also really impressed with how neat and clean her office was, and how she could pull up answers to question in minutes either on her computer or in some manuals she had. That last tax professional I saw about 10 years ago, had paperwork splattered everywhere, and had clients constantly going in & out of a very tiny office, where everyone could hear your personal information. I was so horrified by that experience & the fact that person bungled up my taxes, that it took me 10 years to go see another tax professional. I feel so lucky that I finally found Jessica, who I am totally confident in her ability to do my taxes properly and that I will get the best deduction I can get with her help. She just recently helped me with my federal taxes and again, it was smooth sailing. I was in & out in about an hour (unbeatable!), her fees are very reasonable, and I would highly recommend her to any of my friends. Getting an appointment is quick and easy, and you can also reach her either by phone or email, whichever is your preferred method of communication.

    I've been doing my own taxes for over 30 years. It's a pretty comprehensive return with lots of…read moreschedules, and I've been doing fine with it until my son started working last year, we started contributing to an IRA and 401k for him, college, etc. For the first time in 30+ years, there was a "new thing" to account for. Due to a forced 401k distribution/rollover/tax withholding, etc, I was a little unsure about how to handle it. I had an idea through research on the internet (and multiple LLM conversations), but I wanted to talk to a CPA or Tax person to confirm. I sent out a bunch of requests on Yelp to get quotes for a conversation that I estimated would take no more than 15-30 minutes just to make sure my understanding is correct. I got a bunch of replies ranging from $100-$385. Somebody even said I needed to complete an engagement letter to have the conversation! CBX CPA sent me a message in the middle of the night with a very detailed list of what I needed to file on my taxes and my son's and what to rollover. He also gave me his number and said, "Give me a call any time tomorrow..." No quote. Just good and clear advice on what to do. He even followed up with a second, "Sorry Mike, I forgot to add..." email and an example of what he meant. I currently do not need any other accounting/tax assistance, but if I did, I would call out to Cristian -- not because he's necessarily "any more right" than any other CPA -- that's why they are Certified: so there is consistency across the industry and a minimum knowledge about the rules so any good CPA will give you more or less the same answers, conservatively, even though they may differ depending upon how "creative" they are in interpreting those rules. I would call out to Cristian because he clearly values *MY* time and money -- not just his. I like to do business with good human beings who, to some degree, treat business like it's part of a community and not just a capitalist market. Recognizing that my need "wasn't a big deal," and taking a few minutes to type out the solution (*with detailed instructions and even sending a follow up email because he thought of something after he finished the 1st message*!) with no request for compensation speaks more volumes about him as a person than people who have paid for the service, in my mind. He's giving his expertise to answer what he felt was a simple question (but it wasn't so simple to me) out of the goodness of his own heart after evaluating whether or not he needed to charge for that expertise. This isn't common place -- I sent out 15-20 requests via Yelp describing my problem in detail and 60% of responses said "I'm too busy," and all but 2 of them said, "here's a quote for $100-$380." Two CPAs took time to write me actionable information, and CBX CPA's was the more detailed (though both were thoughtful and good). If he can be this complete in answers for a person who isn't paying him a dime when he has a CPA and it's tax season where he could for every minute, then how complete, thorough and diligent do you think they will be for a paying client? He didn't take my money so the least I could do is take the time write a truthful review and make this recommendation: If you're like me who wants even business relationships to be more than transactional but also with a person with grace who will help you out when the only self benefit being that he knows he did a nice thing for another human being when he could have charged for it and willingly been paid, then if you need a CPA, take the time to give Cristian a call to win your business.

Once I failed to file one year it just snowballed, and I haven't filed in literally decades. The 2018 tax year will be the first year I file on time since something like 1997. Howard has delivered results far above my expectations. What I thought was going to be an insurmountable problem, Howard has turned into a very manageable one with pretty easy to pay monthly payments. Howard's knowledge of the inner workings of the IRS runs deep and wide. He has personal connections there. His follow up is timely and has kept me on schedule moving towards resolution. Howard's communication is crisp, pithy, and clear. He is a consummate professional. Howard's work has provided me with something invaluable; my constant fear has abated. I've been carrying this burden of constantly being afraid of being caught and arrested by the authorities, and it has affected me in a million little ways: driving around, using the internet, banking, living situation with landlords, credit availability, etc. Thank you Howard - your work is a gift.
