Nakata Consulting is an essential piece of my business life!!…read more But for the rest of this review let's just be on a first name basis and talk about Joe. I would have probably given up the whole self employed business long ago if not for Joe. I found Joe through some other colleagues in the Boston photography network years ago. I'll admit I was more than clueless about how to keep my bookkeeping organized and he took me under his wing, took the chaos and made sense of it all. Now I do most of the bookkeeping on my own and he gives it a look once a month to make sure I'm on track. In a "teach a man to fish...." sort of a way. Monthly, quarterly and annual taxes are a breeze now and I can confidently make business purchases and know the overall health of the business. If you're a small business (he has a keen knowledge of the photography business - take a look at his client list!! http://www.nakataconsulting.org/links.php ), but also for restaurants, etc... He'll do your sales taxes, bookkeeping, consulting and all at reasonable rates. I've referred him to friends (non-business owners) as well and he'll definitely take care of you. So walk right past H&R Block and call Joe!

Learn from my experience! Think twice if you're considering having your taxes prepared by…read moreFinocchiaro Tax & Accounting Services in Methuen, MA. The son (Francesco Finocchiaro) of Santo Finocchiaro was going to try to charge me $750 when I met with him. This insulting price was to prepare two fairly simple tax filings. Keep in mind that only two weeks earlier while shopping for an accountant to help with my taxes I had been quoted $250. That was to prepare both filings. This was quoted to me by an entirely separate and unrelated accountant working in another town. I have every reason to believe the father, Santo Finocchiaro was a reputable accountant who up to this point built a solid business and understood the meaning of what is fair. As for doing business with the son though, I say be safe. I wouldn't have a thing to do with him. Attempting to price gouge his customers strongly suggests an opportunist. That young man has a lot to learn about word of mouth in regards to reputation and what is fair when dealing with customers. That is of course if he ever wants any of them to return to do business with him again. If I could have given this business a lower rating than just one star - I would have. And NO. I would not refer this business now to anyone nor will I stop warning people of my experience there. What's fair is fair.
