So I looked her up and set up an appointment for the next week. She showed up promptly on time and was a breath of fresh air. I was a bit stressed about things (especially dealing with my previous accountant) but she calmed me down and told me that everything would be okay. And it has been. I take care of some basic data entry into Quickbooks and she takes care of the rest. From reconciling my accounts to quarterly reporting, she handles it all for me. She is even a wiz with a label maker - my files have never looked better. On top of all that she has on of the sunniest personalities that I have ever met. She is truly a pleasure to work with.

The instructor of this two hour class, Nick Wiley, was the best! The subject matter was new to me, but I wasn't made to feel intimidated by it at all.

You can tell that this instructor enjoys teaching and helping others succeed. I highly recommend this instructor and this class.

I haven't had the pleasure of working with the firm Kernutt Stokes, but I did call to inquire about their services and had a great 40 minute conversation with Mr. Hoyt, who is a partner at the firm. To make a long story short, I ultimately learned that Kernutt Stokes is probably better suited for larger or more advanced companies than for providing the services such a simple business as mine requires at this time. Even though they would gladly work with me, I was gently advised that I could possibly find someone more tailored to the more simple needs of my fledgling business. I greatly enjoyed speaking with Jeff and really appreciate the friendly, genuine, and honest discussion he had with me, especially for such a long time. Should my business grow to the point that their services are more warranted, I will definitely be doing business with them!

So I'll just start at the beginning of my working "relationship" with Kathy. At first I thought…read moreshe was going to be the answer to my prayers for a good accountant / bookkeeper. We agreed that she was going to do my monthly bookkeeping and then my taxes when they came due. The next few months were a little odd because I never received an invoice from her for the monthly bookkeeping, I had to actually reach out a couple of times and inquire about the bills and where we were at accounting wise. She said that everything was going good and that she would "try" and get me a monthly invoice, which never happened. Before 2021 taxes were finalized, I called for some advice about buying a new truck for my business. I needed to know what my tax obligation looked like before I purchased the truck. She told me a dollar amount and based off that information I purchased the vehicle. When it came time to sign off on the taxes my tax obligation went up almost $6000. I called and asked her why and how they went up so much in such a short period of time. Her response was that they need to re-categorize some things and that they were giving me 100% credit for business meals, she said that I was only allowed to claim 50%. (Which is not true for tax years 2021 and 2022, the Federal Government was allowing 100% deduction for those two years due to Covid.) I bit my tongue and moved on. Still not receiving any monthly invoices other than what I owed for the tax preparation. Reached out multiple times throughout 2022 and was told by one of Kathy's employees that they needed monthly bank statements or access to my bank account on-line. Which I gave them a log-in for my bank. This employee received it and logged on, confirming that it was all they needed. Again, months go by and no contact or invoices. We are now in 2023. I am now an LLC filing as an S-corp (per Kathy's recommendation), so I'm assuming that it's important to stay on top of things. I reached out again to Kathy and inquired about the invoicing and where things were at with the accounting. She responded with "You were supposed to get us access to your bank last year and you never have, so nothing has been done". Never mind that I got them access in the beginning of 2023 and have the email chain with her employee verifying as such. She then said that she was mistaken and would look into it. A week goes by and all of a sudden she emails me asking about my S-corp application, wondering if it was approved. I told her yes and that her employee was aware of it as well at the beginning of 2023. She then proceeds to throw together my taxes for 2022 and tells me to sign them, "they need to be filed by September 15th." She had questions about some debits in the business account but never received the answer to those due to the fact I thought we had until October 15th to file. She just moved everything to "supplies" and threw the tax forms together. I sent her an email listing my concerns about how things have gone up to this point and was looking for some answers. She filed the taxes and quit. Now I have NO idea what has been done or what NEEDS to be done. I'm now in the race to find another accountant that can come in and clean up her mess. By the way, that truck I bought? I had to sell it immediately for a $2500 loss. This "accountant" has potentially cost me thousands of dollars by leaving me high and dry the way she did. My next step, filing a complaint with the Oregon Board of Accountancy. If you're in the market for a new accountant, go somewhere else.
