I've used Kris Wilson as my tax preparer for years. She isn't the first preparer I've had, but she…read morehas been the best (I've had four other preparers, and before that I did my own with both Turbo Tax and H&R Block Online). In my opinion, Kris's strengths are that not only is she a CPA, and an Enrolled Agent (EA), but she is also personable and approachable. As some of lifes tax-impacting components are less than pleasant to discuss with others, it is important to have rapport with the person helping you prepare your filing. Kris is very personable, but also an astute, professional tax expert/preparer. Kris is the only person I trust to do my tax filings, and I reccommend her to anyone, no matter how complicated their filings.

Kris was highly recommended to me and I was able to meet her for the first time yesterday. After…read moreour work together, I left with my books in excellent shape and a clear sense of what I have to do before she and I next meet. I greatly appreciated that she gave clear explanations of how Quickbooks works and provided assurance throughout the process that all the the tricky things that make me want to pull my hair out were no big deal and easily solved! During our meeting, I was impressed by Kris's attentiveness as she listened to me explain my business situation in clunky, non-accounting terms. She asked excellent questions, and together, we had a good time figuring out the particular puzzles that my Quickbooks files presented her with. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her.

I have been meaning to write a review for Isaacson Tax & Accounting for awhile now..but it slipped…read moremy mind. I was delightfully reminded today when I received an email for SOMEONE ELSE'S TAX RETURN for the SECOND TIME THIS YEAR. Yes, you read that right, this is the second time they have emailed me about someone else's refund/information/ect. My experience in 2018 is still being passed around my family & friend group because it's so unbelievable. I had my first big year (2017) of basically full time-freelance money on top of my full-time job, so I thought I would seek a professional's help. I was super organized with passing off/organizing my paperwork & expenses, but was greeted with 21 questions/judgement on why I "did hire an employee to manage all my stuff" (again, my first and only year I have done that much work) I stuck it out with her office though and was transferred to a really nice man who put my return together. After I sent a payment to the IRS because I owed, I was NEVER invited in to go over my return in person or sent my return paperwork via mail. The only contact I received after payment was 2 notifications saying they needed to "extend" my return. As time went on, I was planning a wedding, and grabbing my return copies completely slipped my mind... Until 2019, when I decided to do my taxes with my husband. We found out that my taxes that I hired Cindy to do WERE NEVER FILED. The IRS told me to file a complaint. I called Cindy's office multiple times, leaving multiple messages asking for my return & what happened...she NEVER returned my call. I finally got ahold of her and she was extremely angry and rude on that phone claiming "she was too busy to deal with this and would look into finding my paperwork later". A month went by, as tax season came to almost an end, and I was able to reach the lady at the front desk who seemed embarrassed by the whole situation and pulled my paperwork within 30 minutes. I drove up to the office, where Cindy greeted me with my paperwork acting like nothing was wrong. You know, I was only picking up my 2017 tax return paperwork in 2019 that was never filed. No acknowledgement... There is no excuse she could use for this experience. If I could give 0-stars I would. I am sad I didn't pass this information on sooner, but thanks to an email meant for someone else - I was able to write my review.

I've been using TurboTax for years. My tax situation has been getting more and more complicated,…read morethough, and this tax season I finally decided that I needed my taxes done by a professional. So I looked for an accountant. Now, I've never dealt with accountants before, so I had no idea what to expect. What I found was a lot of people in nice offices with slick brochures and fancy sales pitches who were happy to do my taxes...for $800 or more. Yikes! But I figured that was just the going rate, and resigned myself to paying it. Then I called Charlene. Charlene told me she'd do my taxes for under $200. I was astonished. I was also skeptical, to be honest -- her price was so much cheaper that it made me a little suspicious. But it was a hell of a deal. I said yes. Charlene drove out to my house and met with me in my kitchen. We talked for maybe an hour, and she reviewed the tax documents I had on hand. Charlene walked me through a ton of issues right there on the spot, and came up with lots of deductions, big and small, that would never have crossed my mind. She easily paid for herself right there. Then she asked me to send her a couple other documents via secure email and said that once she had them, she'd take care of my taxes. A few weeks later (and with plenty of time to spare), she sent me the returns. They were spot-on. I gave my assent, she filed them, and I got my refund in short order. No hassle at all. I couldn't be happier with Charlene. She got me more money than TurboTax, did it with less hassle than TurboTax, and charged me a quarter what the big guys do. I still don't understand how she can be so much cheaper, but I'm not complaining. I'm planning to go with Charlene every year from here on out.

Bait and switch. The second year I used them and the last. First, they ask you to sign a retainer…read moreand give you a quote of $750 - $1500 for business returns and you must put $500 non-refundable down. Then come back with a pre-defined PowerPoint with a minimum price of $2,500. Next, they will never tell you when your tax returns are completed or give you an estimate. I asked them over 10 emails if they could give me the month and they have yet to say they could. So they actually wait until the very last day to file. This happened to me. I also believe I went through 4 different CPAs from my original chat in March to Now September 2023. Don't believe the hype. Find a local CPA who actually cares. This is a horrible service and company.

We had exchanged e-mails last week, Mary had offered two potential times. I e-mailed back saying that one of the times worked, giving both my Skype name and telephone number.
