We have been working with Ash for two years. He has proved to us, and to many of our friends, that…read morehe cares about his quality of work. During this complicated time (challenging tax laws, decisions and planning ahead), we found Ash to be a true guide. Ash is a smart tax professional, and his dedication to explain complicated concepts for business or personal planning, allows a person to make an informed decision in a personable, friendly and a professional manner. We have worked with other CPAs, and have used tax software before. However, the money you might "save" is lost in your return either this year, or the lack of planning in the next year. He has a wealth of knowledge, and is there at any time you need to consult with him on current, or future projects. We will only be using and recommending his services from now on.

Last weekend was out first time going to Bill or any other accountant to do our taxes in a decade…read moreor more, as we've been using Turbo Tax for years. However, 2012 was a crazy year for us as we re-located from NJ back home to MA, changed jobs, rolled over a 401K and had multiple stock sales. So like every recent year, we bought TT again this year and were basically satisfied with the answers, although we owed $4100 to the IRS and $681 to MA we were getting $3990 back from NJ. That seemed reasonable given the income from last year. Still we wanted to double check our work on TT and we also wanted to establish a relationship with an accountant who could also provide advice going forward as to how to best position ourselves for next years taxes. My wife and I are almost 50 so we also were also looking for someone to validate the positions we had taken financially to prepare for retirement. We found Bill on Yelp and even though we live in Boston where there were other five star rated accountants, we liked the fact that he was praised for both his tax services and his financial advice. Also, he was noted as having a friendly and easy going personality (Which some of the other five star accountants defiantly did not have according to their reviews). We didn't want to start off a potential long term relationship with any one who was a dick, no matter how brilliant. Bill has a nice location in an office park in Quincy off Willard Street. We arrived on time and so did he. We liked Bill immediately as he was engaging and friendly and not stuffy at all. He even had Red Sox World Series memorabilia on his walls which immediately signaled to me that he was A NORMAL PERSON. Anyways, Bill found that we had made a mistake on TT by erroneously listing our stock sales. As far as TT was concerned, no red flags popped up because the error was inputted incorrectly by us. TT didn't know and we didn't know either, but Bill knew. The error would have been costly. Instead of the figures above, it turned out that we actually only owed the IRS $798! Our NJ refund was increased by over $200 and our debt to MA turned into a refund of almost $200. All tolled, Bill saved us almost $4500. After his fee of $275, we still saved well over $4000. We obviously enjoyed our first meeting and will schedule another more comprehensive meeting to evaluate our goals and current positions after the tax season ends and Bill is less busy. Bottom line here is that Turbo Tax is a great product, but nothing beats discussing your tax obligations with a human being. We would HIGHLY recommend Bill Ryan to anyone looking for an exceptionally competent accountant/financial planner in the Metro South or even in the Boston metropolitan area. THANKS BILL!

I would like to put a 6-star for Joe's professional and ac-knowledgeable, however, the Yelp only…read morecould offer 5-star option. Based on my situation, my 2016 tax return was a little bit complex since too much life events happened to me and my family, such as big moving to different state, became a veteran, job status changed, etc. Trust me, I tried my best to call all of the number on the yelp for "Tax service near Boston", and none of the tax service facilities or companies could offer me a wonderful solution, which kinda beyond their acknowledge. Even though some companies told me that they have successfully run their business in the town for more than 20 years, they still could not give me a solution based on my unique case. (Are they kidding me?! ) When I found Joe, not only he explained why my case is so unique, but also, he offered me a very good solution with a very reasonable outcomes, as a CPA! Again, I was not paid by anyone to leave this review for him. The reason why I am putting this review is because he totally deserves this full-star review! If you think H&R block or TurboTax is better than him or any other CPAs, please discard my review or any kinds of review on the Yelp, since you do not need to see any reviews before you choose and enjoy your free return offered by many tax software or tools! However, if anyone is struggling to find the best CPA, or you may like my situation that moving to Boston area recently and need your new CPA instead of your old city's CPA, Joe will be your best choice! He is the best CPA I have ever met!

I spoke with Joe on the phone a few months ago about doing our taxes. He sounded nice enough. As…read morewe sent hime all our paperwork, he started asking for things that were irrelevent to this year's taxes. In addition, he was telling us we had some of our paperwork that he asked for wrong when in fact, it was not wrong. Then he started berating us and was very condescending. He was actually putting this stuff in a very harsh tone in emails. In my opinion, it felt like instead of working with us on what needed to be done, he was bullying us. We were shocked. To top everything off, his bills were considerable higher than prior returns. Suffice it to say, we would never use him again.

I discovered Mark Stanhope when I moved to the area in 2016 and found that my tax situation had…read morebecome too complex for me to handle alone, and while using a well known tax preparation software. Mark told me what documents I would need, including returns from the preceding 2 years. He submitted amended returns for my previous 2 years and got me refunds on both. He then filed my current return and although we did owe some money, I now had much higher confidence in the accuracy of the filed returns, both federal and state. Since that first year, our situation has continued to grow in complexity and I no longer worry when tax time comes 'round. I fill out Mark's annual summary survey and return along with my receipts and am amazed that I typically get back my completed return, ready to file, in just a few days. Though we have had a few years where we owed money on our returns, this year (2021) was very tough for my wife and me. I had a job change and my wife had 2 job changes, we sold our house and moved from MA to NH. Coupled with some 401K rollovers, and our tax situation was even more confusing and beyond my ability to manage. Mark, again, looking closely at all options, found us a surprisingly large refund for the year. I was thrilled this filing season to learn that Mark will be able to continue filing our Federal and MA returns even though we have moved out of state. Mark is personable, professional, and very knowledgeable. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending him to anybody who is looking for any of the services his firm offers.
