I always use Yelp to search for food, but this time I was desperate. I was up at 3am working to get assistance, and I built up the courage to signal the flag and surrender. What could it possibly hurt. I submitted my request and waited. I actually was contacted that very same day. Keep in mind, I was well awake before the birds. Mike was very professional and prompt in responding. After talking with him on the phone, he provided the best resolution. He really listened to me and provided all options and other solutions. I immediately felt comfortable sharing and trusting his judgment. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for assistance. He offered the best price, and he worked diligently throughout the process. My process was completely virtual and secure. If you need help, do not hesitate to request his service. This has been the absolute best experience.

Short Version: Minton CPA will cause you tons of grief and cost you a lot of money. The only CPA…read morethere is Christina Minton (Tina). No other CPA's. She way over promises and grossly under delivers. If you are looking for a CPA keep looking. Long Version: Back in 2018 I had a consultation with Christina Minton. Everything seemed to go well, but we could never actually get in touch again to start accounting services. They never returned phone calls or emails. Quite odd, so we hired another firm. Our business grew substantially and we were outsourcing accounting to a firm in another state. I wanted to find a local firm so on the advice of a friend I contacted Christina Minton again. This was around June 2022. I had a long phone call and I told her we would need a lot of hand holding in the beginning to get all the accounting back on track, fix problems, setup for success, etc. I sent her all the requested info and then met with her in person the next week. This was about an hour long meeting and we went over quite a bit. I asked about why she never returned calls and emails a few years before. She told me she had a partner that ended up embezzling over 100k from her and she was dealing with that at the time. Should have been a big enough red flag for me to run at that point but she came highly recommended from a friend. How could a CPA allow a 'partner' to steal that much money without knowing? She reassured me that all is good now and they can easily handle all our needs. About a month later we switched over all accounting and bookkeeping to Minton CPA. Huge mistake. The brief overview is that they could never even setup the bookkeeping properly after 2 months! On the accounting end they always act like it's day one. We went over everything in detail before I hired them, but now we had to go through every little detail again and often multiple times. It was literally groundhog day. They have absolutely no organizational system. Only threads of never ending unsecured (gmail) email chains. I setup another in person meeting with Tina to discuss all the problems. Again, we literally started over from the beginning! We had to go over details that should have already been resolved. She once again apologized and said she would get everything straightened out. The final straw was when they reassured everything was final to file our personal returns. They called me on the day it was due to be filed and said I had to pay for them to file the return. We didn't even review anything! They didn't file the return so more penalties on top of that. We ended up having to hire another firm to fix all the problems they caused. Minton CPA caused an incredible amount of damage in only 3 short months. We paid them to file our corporate return which was $1500. It was incorrect. Our new firm had to file an amendment for this, costing us much more time and money. We lost thousands because of their mistakes. It turns out that Alex is only the 'office manager'. Alex has no accounting background, but does quite a bit of the 'accounting' work. Minton CPA is not necessarily an accounting firm. Tina Minton is the only actual CPA there and Alex is her daughter. Alex and a few other unqualified people do the majority of the work. Finding a good CPA is hard because many of them are overworked. If you are looking for a good CPA keep looking. Minton CPA will only cause you grief and cost you tons of money. We are still dealing with issues they caused months after I fired them.

But this morning, after almost 7 months, I finally got my return. I will say that when I contacted Paul directly, he was apologetic about my service and refunded their fee. That is why they get one star. But aside from that this has been the most maddening tax season in almost 20 years of filing taxes. I contacted PIM in early Feb because I am military, wife is self employed, and she also has a W-2 from another state for teaching. Just a bit too complicated for us to do ourselves. I read reviews and PIM seemed to be a great choice. Well after finally getting through (left a couple messages before getting a call back), they scheduled me for an appt 4 weeks later. I was annoyed it was going to take that long, but figured it would be done correctly so its fine. What they dont tell you is that is just a consult appointment. You spend a hour with your tax preparer and then "They add you to the bottom of the pile". So we are already this much into it, and just had to keep going since everywhere else was already swamped. Our preparer, Tara, was respectful, but seemed ill-informed. We had a nanny over the summer and we paid a services to file all our tax paperwork for us. So she just had to add it to the childcare expense. She said she wasn't familiar with how that works and she had to ask someone about it. She also seemed to be confused with some easy stuff like how to file out of state W-2 with residency in another state. We should have cut our losses, but we didn't. We were already too far into it. Now started the first wait. Tara said it would be about 3 weeks. Nope. Almost 6 weeks later and no less than 10 ignored phone calls and multiple ignored emails we got our paperwork for review. Me, not a tax pro, took one look at it and noticed it was WAY off. Like, just simple childcare credit stuff was completely ignored. It was more than $5k less than expected. So I contacted Tara MULTIPLE times before getting a response and shared with her my concerns, and she said "Oh, I guess I can file your nanny expenses in your childcare". You guess? You guess?? I am paying a PROFESSIONAL to do our taxes and she has NO idea what the heck she is doing? And to make matters worse, in the response she said "I also noticed your state return didn't compute right, I have to spend some time figuring that out". So lets recap - not only did she MASSIVELY undercut our return, but she MASSIVELY over claimed our state return. And if I hadn't already been expecting a general number, I would have just said it looks fine and had her file it. Two weeks later, its filed. If all that wasn't enough, I had no idea that who is listed first on the return could impact filing, but guess what, it does. For the first time in our marriage, my wife was listed first for some strange reason. I didn't even notice when I reviewed it, but yup, she was. So because that is a change in how our taxes have been filed for the last 15 years, the IRS froze our return and required identity verification. Which, if you aren't aware, is a complete NIGHTMARE that ended up taking us almost 15 weeks, multiple hours on the phone with the IRS, and multiple hours verifying line by line our previous years returns. And its so nice when the IRS tells you "just make sure you are consistent with primary tax payer in the future to avoid identity verification". Noted. So NO. I do NOT recommend PIM. I may not have a recommendation for a Va Beach service, but I will always have recommendation on who to avoid. PIM. Avoid PIM.
