In short, my experience with Colonial Tax Consultants was easy, expertly handled, cost effective,…read moreand highly supportive. In fact, I quickly found everyone there to be highly competent, resourceful, and focused on getting me what I needed. I could actually trust and rely upon each person and every person on the team. CTCtax.com, you certainly live up to your reputation (resolving tax liabilities and ensuring my rights as a taxpayer) and you deliver on your word. What a relief! Say what you will about the hazards of tech and social media, in this case, it paid off! How else would a gal from the West Coast find an amazing tax consultant (in Denver, CO of all places) for a tax issue that had nothing to do with Colorado? Over the years, I've successfully navigated IRS/tax challenges on my own. In fact, I might be one of the few who has actually found the IRS easy to work with - some agents more than others, but overall, a good experience. Well, THAT changed! In 2020, it became nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get through to a human being at the IRS. When I was lucky enough to finally speak with an actual person, I could never resolve my pressing issues or get answers to time-sensitive questions. I was beyond frustrated and needed help. No, in fact, I was done! I just wanted a Super Hero to *handle things* for me! After a bunch of due diligence and online research, I reached out to Colonial Tax Consultants as one possible option. In comparison to the others I called, I felt reassured during my initial conversation with Rick Peart (Senior Consultant). Immediately I had information and with that new-found knowledge came choices. Given my burnout and demands on my time, I opted to hire Colonial Tax and have them take care of things on my behalf. The BEST choice I could have made. In the relatively short time it's taken to resolve my issues, I've gotten to know three of the folks in their office. Since I am out-of-state, I was initially concerned and wanted ONE point of contact. However, working with them as a team has always worked to MY benefit. Here's why - Colonial Tax Consultants is a rare breed. Their internal communication and overall systems must be in great shape, because regardless of who was helping me, everything flowed - always! I never had to repeat myself or get someone else to speed. They were always on top of things and kept me informed. Thanks to Colonial Tax's expertise and follow-through, I'm in the home stretch and on cruise control. In the end, they were able to reach what I felt was a fair agreement with the IRS and work out something sustainable for me. In addition, they found something else that I was NOT expecting and this really helped me out. Bonus! Colonial Tax Consultants... you're doing good work in the world. Thank you ALL for being my Super Heroes!

We contacted Colonial Tax Consultants to investigate open IRS issues. I expected a long sales pitch…read moreand many promises. I spoke with Rick Pearlt, Senior Analyst who was straightforward. There was NO sales pitch, NO promises. Rick asked for pertinent info so he could ascertain IRS' view of the situation. He impressed that he would be back in touch in 2-3 days. He responded with his researched analysis in 2 days, clearly explained his findings. There was no mention of consult fees for the work he performed. When I questioned this, Rick stated he provided info and 'if' i did need tax resolution services down the road that he and Colonial Tax Consultants are here for me! Aside from his invaluable information, I was deeply touched by his sincerity and 'do-the-right-thing' philosophy.

With our own business, our taxes were quite complex. We had used the same CPA for years but…read moreeverything was always a 'crisis' and difficult to understand, so we were looking for a change. We tried a new, local CPA here in Florida and after two years were no better off. My brother recommended his accountant, Scott Wachtel, who he described as exceptional. What can I say? In mere weeks Scott had set straight what the other firms had made so difficult and intimidating. For the first time in years we understand our situation and are finally getting caught up. Scott is an excellent communicator who explains things in such a manner so that we understand what is required, and are able to complete our taxes and get our lives back in order. The stress is gone and we are finally current. We HIGHLY recommend Scott to anyone in need of excellent service in any tax or accounting situation. His work is outstanding.

I found the owner Vasil, very professional and personable...and as any tax preparer should be very detailed. His client portal ... is excellent...a series of questions about your documents...very detailed. I really like it. The portal had an internal chat ....so when i messaged Vasil "Hey can we talk" I would get a phone...or he would answer my question quickly....Always pleasant, never in a rush...There to help. I am glad i took the chance with V Tax....excellent company...excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a Tax preparer.

And let me tell you, the search for a new one in Colorado was not a fun process. Most of the firms I reached out to (1) never responded, (2) were fully booked, or (3) were far from professional. Tricia and her team were a breath of fresh air -- responding to my inquiry quickly, jumping on a call with me right away to learn more about my needs and whether they could meet them, and creating a custom proposal based on what kind of assistance I was looking for. I've been working with the team since Jan 2019 and they have been an absolute delight. My bookkeeping is done in a timely manner, books are done correctly (finally!) and my complicated taxes were not as stressful as they could have been thanks to O'Connor & Co. Most importantly, I have a team who has their eye on the big picture and helps me strategize ways to improve finances and save on taxes...something I appreciate as a business owner. As an added bonus, Tricia and her team have actually made the process fun, something I would have never put on my list of must-have criteria. If you're searching for a great team to handle your business' bookkeeping and taxes, look no further. O'Connor & Co will exceed your expectations and provide a breath of fresh air in a rather tired industry that often forgets about customer experience.

I've worked with Tricia since she was in her office space uptown about 10 years ago. Here's what I…read morecan say: 1. She knows her stuff. If you have a tricky tax problem, she can help you. I fancy myself "smart" from time to time, and more than once I've researched Tricia's recommendations to make sure I was getting good advice. I've always been happy. 2. Knowledge does not come cheap. If you're looking for some CPA to do some data entry at tax time (basically, following the prompts from some piece of software like the clowns at the mall kiosks), move along. Tricia is not for you. If you're a small business owner trying to navigate a business entity classification + a marriage + a home sale + some investment tax issues + an interstate move - and do all of this via phone and email while you're traveling on your extended honeymoon - this is who you want. 3. Speaking of the IRS, Tricia is ethical, but she works to minimize your bill. I've never felt uneasy with anything, but I've also never felt like we left money on the table. In years passed, I've done the 'tax kiosk' thing and missed deductions/credits. Never again. 4. She's fun. I enjoy talking to her. She's got great energy, and she's passionate about her job. I admire that, considering I'm about as passionate about tax time as I am about dental surgery. So, there you have it. Happy customer since 2008, and Tricia is the only person I call when I need tax advice/help. NOTE: I see someone else reviewed Tricia and said she was expensive, and here's my counter: Saving a couple hundred bucks doesn't appeal to me when a mistake can cost thousands.

I had 30…read moreminute meeting with him discussed I would need a tax return for Utah and Colorado- I would have capitol gains from selling two properties and depreciation recapture. Marcus said no problem would probably cost around $1,000 and he would have them filed by April 15th. Wanting an update I contacted Tanner front desk the last week of March since I hadn't heard from them and left messages 3 different times that week for Marcus to please contact me with estimate of taxes owed (I knew I would owe $40,000 plus to Irs). Marcus never contacted me. All I wanted was a text or an email or a phone call but he couldn't be bothered (no one there could even return a call). Finally less than a week before April 15th my husband called the Tanner receptionist and said we wanted our tax documents back. My husband picked them up that day and all Marcus had to say was for us to file an extension - he hadn't even touched them. Filing the extension would have prevented us from getting the state of Colorado tabor refund of $1,600, which might not sound like much but when you are going to owe over $40,000 every little bit helps. There was no apology he didn't even care. My husband and I had to quickly take our info over to another company who worked very hard to get them filed by April 15th. Whatever you do don't go to Tanner or work with Marcus. They don't care about regular people. I guess we were just small potatoes to them.
