Trusted, Responsive, and Highly Efficient!!…read more I had an outstanding experience working with Joe Bedford at Your Back Office Tax & Advisory. From the start, Joe was incredibly responsive to my initial inquiry and got everything moving quickly. My tax situation wasn't simple -- it included multi-state income, a pension, W-2 income, and investment income -- and Joe handled it seamlessly. He completed everything accurately and efficiently, and made the entire process feel straightforward. What really stood out was how clearly he explained key decisions and next steps, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout. He's organized, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and reliable tax professional who delivers both speed and precision, I highly recommend Joe and Your Back Office Tax & Advisory.

As for the error, in the taxes, I have provided screenshots of emails between myself and Mary. Moral of the story do not use these CPAs, as proof by Todd's lying below and unwillingness to make things right when customers have been wronged. I used Culpepper for three years and will not be returning. The first year was excellent, but my experience declined sharply after that. In the second year, communication with Mary became difficult, she was hard to reach and frequently offered excuses for delays. Our taxes are somewhat complex, and I expect extensions, which was the case for both 2023 and 2024. In 2023, despite poor communication, we finalized our taxes shortly after the deadline, so I let it go. 2024, however, was unacceptable. Mary prepared both our business and personal taxes. While working on our personal return, almost a month later, she discovered an error in the business return and attempted to blame me, claiming I hadn't communicated a change. That change was clearly included in the information sheet we provide every year. She eventually corrected the mistake at no charge, but only after deflecting responsibility. Meanwhile, weeks went by between responses, filled with the same excuses as the prior year. She didn't file our taxes until July, over three months past the deadline. I paid the bill but raised no further complaint at the time. Later, my husband called to give them an opportunity to make things right after they charged us an exorbitant fee for both returns, plus penalties from the late filing. Instead of addressing our concerns, they refused to let us speak with anyone other than Mary. She repeatedly placed blame on me and insisted she had done her due diligence, despite the fact that I had documented the gaps in communication with a clear timeline. Nothing was resolved. Because of this, I will no longer use Culpepper and strongly caution others against doing so.

I hate leaving non-stellar reviews, but I was disappointed with my overall experience. I called in…read morea state of panic knowing that we would not get our taxes done by April 15 (we moved from out of state and it was a complicated return). We had our appointment at the end of April and our return was not complete until early June. I found an error that reduced our tax liability by $7,000. I was told that we would be getting a letter from the IRS regarding the late filing and that I should send that to the CPA and she would request an abatement of the penalty since we had never filed or paid late before. I assumed that was part of the process that we had paid for, but then I got an additional bill for almost $200. If I had known that there would be an extra charge, I would've just called the IRS myself.

I needed to file for a previous year and had been putting it off for far too long. I went in with my documents and Shannon worked her magic.

She asked all the right questions to assess my situation and I have no doubt she found my biggest refund for a very reasonable price. I was so thoroughly pleased and impressed with her that I scheduled another appointment next week for the other tax year I have to complete. I will only go to Shannon and I'm bringing everyone in my family, too!!!
