One of my friends has been telling me for years to go to them but I never did. I'm glad I tried them this year because they were very helpful. I liked that they even complimented me on how I prepared my own return even though I did wind up missing one of the credits that I qualified for. They did say that it was a common mistake to make so I didn't feel to bad. They wound up emending my return from last year to get the extra credit for me. I will definitely be going back next year.

Let me just start out by saying that Cindy M. Smith is excellent at what she does and will work…read morewith you in order to solve whatever Tax problems, concerns or issues you may have. My wife and I have worked with her for many years now and are completely satisfied with her Customer Service, Expertise and Client Protection. A case in point, to prove that she stands behind you, is when she wrote the IRS a letter on her own letterhead, stating the resolution we were going to follow, in order to correct a huge mistake our previous CPA made 2 years running, without our knowledge. Not only was Cindy able to resolve the problem, but because of her letter, the IRS returned the "penalty check" we had already sent in, basically saying, your recent letter explains everything in detail to our satisfaction and we are returning your check, we no longer see an issue. When have you ever heard the IRS giving YOU back money for a mistake that you previously made. Without Cindy's expertise and quick response, my wife and I would have wound up paying thousands of dollars in penalty fees to the IRS. When I say Cindy is on your side, that is an understatement. If you have an issue with Cindy, for whatever reason, I am extremely confident that the issue resides in large part with you and either is an illegal or unreasonable request. She stands behind her work, always listens to what you have to say and will provide detailed and expert advice to not only help with any given situation, but to protect you in the process. We highly recommend Cindy and have always found it a pleasure to work with her and utilize the excellent and professional service she provides.

Cindy Smith's statement about her business is far from accurate. I had been a client of hers for…read moreover 10 years. I am sad to say that she'll slice you off even after working with you for a long time, and in a quite nasty way too. Up to this point, she had been professional and courteous enough. This last year, though, I noticed she has a real problem with taking the time to explain things to you and is impatient and hostile when questioned. We had a disagreement over what I could claim for a deduction. It was an issue she'd been working with me on for years and this was the first time she raised an objection to me, though she claimed she'd expressed uncertainty about it before. I don't recall her ever doing so. So I asked her a lot of questions about the basis of her new viewpoint. She gave a very patchy explanation that didn't directly answer my questions and only created more questions. Instead of explaining her line of reasoning to me more thoroughly which I would have been willing to concede to if I could only understand where she was coming from, she told me I was free to find another accountant, raising the exchange from 4 to 10 in terms of tension and stress. When I tried showing her additional documents and told her I had talked to others in my situation, she viewed my doing so as a challenge to her authority and imposition on her time that she couldn't tolerate, and so she ended her last email to me with a declaration that she was no longer going to work on my taxes this year. This was a month before taxes were due. Let me make this clear: Cindy Smith, CPA isn't interested in advocating for her clients in any way, and will drop you as a client if you try to advocate for yourself. Cindy Smith, CPA would rather pull brutal power moves on her clients, even longstanding ones, than use more evolved communication skills in the face of misunderstandings. If she had the decency to answer my questions and offer me alternatives in a nicer way, she might have kept me as a client for at least this year and gotten the money for the work she'd already done for me. And if she knew how to treat another human being, she wouldn't be getting this Yelp review. But her appalling attitude and personality soured everything, including a chance to recuperate even her own financial bottom line. She had no interest in steering the situation to a more constructive outcome, even after working with me for over 10 years and having me recommend her to my friends, giving her at least one new client. After being the one to inconvenience me by dropping me one month before the tax deadline, she had the nerve to tell me that she wouldn't charge me for the work she'd already done for me this year. I should have known this was coming. Several years ago I was in her office once and heard her talking to a client on the phone. After Cindy hung up she said to the client as if s/he were there, "maybe you would understand this if you weren't so stupid." So here's a warning. Even if Cindy seems perfectly reasonable, competent and pleasant in person, know that she in fact has little respect for her clients and will leave you high and dry if you've somehow made her angry in any way. Don't believe a word she says in her business statement either about wanting to "serve" her clients over the long haul or being "dedicated" to them. Cindy M. Smith, CPA hates her clients and is dedicated to serving her ego and bad temper.

Art was up for the task and made heads and tails out of a suitcase full of documents, YAY Art put everything back on track with ease. I never needed another accountant again. Art surrounds himself with an excellent team who are friendly and efficient. ( bring some donuts from Stewart's to help them power through tax season) Art services present a good value to someone who is not comfortable doing his or her own taxes or if you are a small business owner or just have a complicated situation. I highly recommend him and have done so for my entire family.
