I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Trust is what keeps a 30+ year client, and Crystal and her team made that on going relationship possible.

We committed to working together, I felt they were unresponsive once we started uploading docs…read moreetc., and they then suddenly told us they'll no longer work with us with no explanation and didn't respond to any follow-up questions. We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

We won four hours of organizing services from Lisa at The Time Butler at a charity auction…read more We put off calling Lisa for a few months, but we eventually got around to making the appointment for a two-hour visit. I stalled by giving her a tour of the house, which took up most of the time, but she did "encourage" us to clear off the kitchen table -- we filled up a couple of bags of paper during that exercise. She returned a couple of weeks later, and we used up the other donated hours. On that visit, we cleared out the media shelves in the family room, uncovered the coffee table, and rediscovered the desk. We also filled up several bags of stuff (books, VHS tapes, magazines, toys, and who knows what else) which were suitable for charitable donations -- and Lisa took it all away. She's been back twice since then, helping us deal with the shelves and desk in the kitchen, all of which are organized, clear, and usable for the first time in a long time. And again, we donated a bunch of stuff to charity (as well as filling a recycle bin!). In between visits, I got rid of some excess hardware by putting it on craigslist (most of it sold within an hour); I've also started transferring old VHS tapes to DVD (though why I needed a DVD version of King Dinosaur is a matter of some debate with the rest of the members of the household). There's no magic to it -- we're doing all the work (well, she wields the labelmaker...) and making all the decisions. But she acts as a forcing function -- when she hands us a pile to go through, it seems silly to just put it back where it was (though "later" is always a valid decision -- and I've deferred some things by moving them to a room we haven't reached yet). I'm happy we won her services, and happier that I finally got around to calling and making the appointment!

I waited over 2 months to get my Hag Capisco chair delivered because of manufacturing isses and was…read moreeventually adviced to cancel my order. I wish that I was adviced to cancel my order much sooner; the delay was originally significantly underestimated and whether that's to blame on Ergoworkx or Hag it reflects poorly on the former from my perspective. Nevertheless I would order from Ergoworkx again thanks to my good experience with Daniel Stueckrath who made the cancellation and refund go through smoothly.

We needed a basic desk that could support an adjustable keyboard tray. Most businesses offering…read moreergonomic solutions only sold extremely expensive desks. Inexpensive stores had desks with either too thin tops and/or metal under bracing that interfered with keyboard tray installation. At Ergo Works, Liz worked very patiently (explaining edge details and shape options) with us to design a simple laminate top table with very sturdy legs. She even called the manufacturer to see what tabletops might be in stock and sent photos of color/pattern. Our many questions were answered quickly. The keyboard tray and table are ordered by Ergo Works. Delivery and installation are done in one efficient appointment on site.

Larry has been my CPA for at least five years. He's been kind and patient, despite my chronic…read morefinancial disorganization. I'm always late but he finds a way to accomodate me. For my 2009 taxes, he met me on a Saturday at 5pm. When I get my taxes, they are always correct and professionally packaged. My quarterly tax payments are calculated, and Larry sends me a reminder each quarter to be sure I make them on time. He's also been great about advising me on stock and tax issues outside of tax season. He's prompt about returning my calls. To address some reviews here, during tax season I don't think any CPA is going to be returning calls and emailing regularly. Larry's assistant always calls when my taxes are done and ready to pick up. I trust Larry will get them done by his commitment date. The last thing I want to mention is that Larry always remembers me and is looking to see what's changed in the year since we last spoke. I have doctors I see regularly who can't remember me or my history. I see Larry once a year during his busiest period and he's always on top of my financial status.

My husband and I were referred to Larry three years ago by a real estate colleague. We had just…read morereturned from an overseas assignment. Larry asked to see our returns from the three years we were there, and then promised us over $100k he could get returned to us because of overpayments he said we made while there. The short story is that he proceeded to get us audited for all three years we lived overseas, which is still ongoing 2.5 years later and thousands and thousands of dollars out of pocket trying to fix it, not including the penalty the IRS is trying to attach to it. There is no refund, as Larry had promised us, only a horrible experience. When we were still clients Larry stopped returning our calls and avoided all communication with us. This went on for months before we finally pulled the plug with him. I have seen other reviews about the same thing happening to others. It has taken me a long time to write this but I hope we can help others avoid someone who has very poor business practices.
