this place doesnt know what they are doing when it comes to doing taxes this place did my moms taxes paid them an absurd amount of money only to have her taxes done incorrectly and she had the foot the penalties from the irs and this place refuses to help or admit they messed up on her tax return they told her she owed what was close to about 3k to the irs on her return and she had asked the guy more so this guy name noel if thats all she owes for the year and thats it if there s no other payment she has to pay and he said no thats it so i get the voucher he sends her and print it and send it out to the irs with the payment then the irs comes hounding her for more money like a month or so later so shes confused why she has to pay more so i had to call this guy noel and ask him what happened and whats going on then i tell him i can email him a picture of what was shown in the irs statement so i did and we go back n forth emailing and he just seems so dumbfound and clueless saying oh she owes this and that i told him if he miscalculated her taxes for the year and whenever i get my taxes done i either pay 1 time or get a refund and thats it no other action is needed later down the line and he seems to be just avoiding the question cuz he knows he screwed up so after that he just stopped emailing me and refuses to take responsibility for his own mistakes ... this guy is completely incompetent and needs to take responsibility for his own mistakes but refuses and just ignores u.. for what they charge to do your taxes is completely insane too i wouldn't recommended anybody to these guy and ill have my mom have her taxes done by my tax preparer who will do it for more than half the price of what this dude charges.. this guy is a joke stay away from noel unless u want your taxes done incorrectly and u get penalized for it read more

I was in need of an accountant (CPA) to review returns from a previous year and file an amended return for me. I was ghosted by a local CPA I had contacted, so I decided to contact Ferber & Bouslog. Alec was great and got my amended returns done within three weeks turnaround time. He was also a pleasure to work with and provided updates along the way. I would highly recommend Ferber & Bouslog. Thanks Alec!! read more

I had been with Pesta & Pesta, now Ferber & Bouslog for over 5 years, enjoyed working with the firm very much. I was "let go" as a client in the middle of tax season (I now have to file an extension) over a conversation with their administrative assistant. While discussing issue I was encountering with "SmartVault" I commented that this is a customer satisfaction issue for the firm. I suppose that wasn't taken well. Long story short, you do not "let go" of a loyal client during tax season leaving them to file an extension regardless the circumstance. Especially without hearing the other side of the story. I cannot recommend Ferber & Bouslog as they did not do the right thing. I can understand a difference of opinion, which this simply was not, but to abandon a loyal client during tax season (with a track record of stellar communication and great rapport) is simply unacceptable. If you have a difference of opinion or voice a concern to their employees you may be quite literally dumped... mind you, during tax season. I view this as unethical and unfortunately unacceptable. read more

We were referred to Jake by a colleague 10 years ago. Prior to that we used H&R Block or Hewitt-Jackson tax services. The employees were always perplexed by our taxes, even though they are pretty straightforward for a couple that is married and filing jointly. Several times we were asked to return for numerous follow-up appointments. We found Jake and the rest is history. He takes one hour to meet with us and then our taxes are prepared and submitted. He never gets stumped with a financial tax question. He is KNOWELDGABLE, EFFICIENT, ORGANIZED, VERY SMART, AND HAPPY TO GIVE FEEDBACK. Our yearly appointment is always enjoyable. He has a great sense of humor and explains things in layman's terms, which makes money matters easy to understand. We are always happy to refer him to family, friends, and colleagues. read more
