I owe Sherry and the Chatham Title team a long overdue review. My first transaction with them was…read moreabout ten years ago. Since then I have bought/sold/refinanced properties a handful of times, at least. I am a consumer, not a realtor, so my review is based on my experience as a client directly involved in the sometimes nerve-wracking process of the loan and title process. I would never go anywhere else. Sherry and her team are wonderful to work with. They are highly skilled at what they do and provide comprehensive services. I like that this is a small team because I can always count on talking to someone who knows exactly what is going on with my real estate transaction. They are problem solvers and I appreciate how easy they try to make the process. I'm a dog person, so the fact that there are pooches "working" in the upstairs office is a nice touch. Maybe they will "hire" my dog.......

I had a very nice initial meeting with Dan to discuss my options and the approx costs to prepare my return. In the end, the cost was double what was expected with little communication along the way. They did do a great job uncovering savings in my return, but much of that was negated by their expensive billings. I was overall very disappointed with the level of communication from the office staff, who deals with filings and payments. It wasn't clear they wouldn't be submitting my return until paid in full, which resulted in significant delays.

I've been working with Miller Musmar, CPAs for some time now, and I wanted to share my experience…read morefor anyone looking for accounting services in the area. From the beginning, the team at Miller Musmar has been professional and attentive. When I first reached out, I was dealing with some complicated tax issues that I'd been putting off, and I wasn't sure how to tackle them. They took the time to understand my situation thoroughly and explained everything in terms I could actually understand, which immediately put me at ease. What stands out most about working with Miller Musmar is their communication. I'm always kept informed about what's happening with my accounts and tax filings. They respond to emails and phone calls promptly, and they make sure I understand deadlines and what's needed from me well in advance. There's never any confusion about where things stand or what the next steps are. That level of clarity has been invaluable, especially during tax season when things can get hectic. The transparency they provide has also been impressive. They're upfront about costs from the start, so there are no surprise fees or unexpected charges down the line. They explain their billing clearly and I always feel like I'm getting fair value for the services provided. They've also been proactive about finding deductions and strategies that have saved me money, which shows they're genuinely looking out for my best interests rather than just processing paperwork. Their approach is efficient and thorough. They don't drag things out unnecessarily, but they also don't rush through important details. Everything gets done in a reasonable timeframe, and I've never felt like my work was being delayed or that the process was being stretched out for billing purposes. They're organized, detail-oriented, and they catch things that I would have missed on my own. What I appreciate most is that they take a collaborative approach. When decisions need to be made, they present options clearly and help me understand the implications of each choice. They never make me feel like I'm asking stupid questions, and they're patient in explaining complex tax matters. I feel like I'm part of the process rather than being kept in the dark. The team has also been flexible and accommodating when unexpected situations come up. Whether it's a last-minute question or a change in my financial situation, they've always been responsive and helpful in figuring out the best path forward. Working with Miller Musmar has made tax season and financial planning far less stressful than it used to be. Having someone I can trust to handle these important matters with competence and integrity gives me real peace of mind. If you're looking for a CPA firm that communicates well, operates with transparency, and genuinely works to help you navigate your financial responsibilities, I'd definitely recommend Miller Musmar, CPAs.

This firm is so incompetent it is borderline criminal. We fired them from bookkeeping, but kept…read morethem for tax prep. Here is how that went: In January, we had a tax planning meeting (seems a little late, but whatever). Their estimate of the income we would report for 2023 was off by 300%. That's 300% off what the same firm calculated two months later when they actually did the taxes. No new numbers came in, everything was available in mid January when they came up with the estimate. When they filed tax returns in April for our firm, they overstated our income on our state returns, apportioning 100% to each state we do business in, instead of proportional amounts. We overpaid our taxes by $100k, and only caught the mistake because *we* found it and pointed it out to them. It took MM over 48 hours to confirm the mistake that we pointed out to them. They then filed amended returns. We will eventually get that money back, but only because of our own diligence. Also...never so much as an apology or taking accountability for the massive mistake.
