I received wonderful, caring, accurate, financial help from James Fritz CPA…read more My last tax return was done at Waterfront CPA Group after being treated very rudely by a crotchety, old scheduler for H & R Block. Despite being an H&R customer for more than a decade, I was treated like a giant pain when I asked for the specific tax preparer who'd done my taxes the year before. But now I am grateful to that rude old goat because I contacted Waterfront to do them instead. I was able to get an almost immediate appointment with a professional who was friendly and helpful. The taxes were done in less than an hour, by a CPA (rather than simply a "tax preparer.") He accessed every legal deduction and gave me solid advice for next year. I can't believe I've been going to H and R Block for years, getting just adequate service, sometimes grudgingly. James Fritz, in the Silverdale office quickly did my taxes, saved me money, and then charged HALF of what H&R Block has been charging me! My taxes were the same difficulty, the same number of schedules and forms, as every previous year. But now, they were done by a CPA for half the cost! In the future, I will be certain to go to Waterfront CPA group for all of my tax and financial needs.

I utilized waterfront CPA for my taxes because I had complex taxes for 2021. I provided to them…read moreall the required documents to complete my taxes including the W2 that they left off my taxes. (to my fault I should have reviewed their work but that's why I hired them so I didn't have to) well turns out they completely left off a W2 and I owed more in taxes. the IRS hit me with a roughly 1,000 dollar penalty which they "paid" by doing my taxes this year free and refunding my 2021 tax fee. but because of their error I was responsible for a 470 dollar interest fee that they would not cover. so be prepared to review all of their work. if an error happens regardless If it was their fault, you will be responsible for the interest owed because of their error in addition to the tax you owe. I told them I would not have incurred the interest because I would have paid my full tax bill had it been prepared correctly, but they said that was policy. So unless they correct this policy I would look elsewhere for a more reputable company that takes responsibility for errors of their service. Respectfully I typically do not write reviews but because their error cost me an additional cost of almost 500 dollars and the IRS headache I was not a satisfied customer.

Huddleston CPAs made a grave error on my business taxes in 2022 (not providing or filing a…read morenecessary form) resulting in 5K in penalties that I was then responsible for to the IRS. While the individual employee responsible no longer works at the firm, Huddleston as a business refused to take ANY responsibility for their negligence. When I tried to request a fair settlement from Huddleston--such as receiving a partial refund for the amount I paid for their tax services given that they failed to fulfill their duties--they stopped responding to my messages. When you trust a business with something as important as your financials, you deserve better, and as a fellow small business owner, I am incredibly disappointed in Huddleston CPAs.

So I hit Yelp, and saw only this firm with a significant number of enthusiastic recommendations. After procrastinating nearly too long, I got an extension and contacted this firm to figure out the necessary details. I eventually assembled the paperwork, just in time the last week or two before the second due date, and sent it over the this firm. My filing was just accepted. These folks were accessible and responded to each inquiry rapidly. The cost, while not cheap, matched their initial quote and seems fair. I initially worked with Lili Zhou, then Steven Lok did most of the work a few months later at crunch time. They did just what I needed done. Thanks!

If I could give negative stars, I would. I hired Huddleston Tax CPAs for an estate tax return and…read moreexperienced repeated errors, typos, missing schedules, and incorrect basic math calculations across ten drafts. I had to identify and correct these issues myself, and the firm conducted extra internal review without informing me. The errors I identified were either acknowledged in writing or revised in subsequent drafts. When I met with the owner on June 8 and presented detailed emails outlining these errors, he said he would look into it but never responded. My check was cashed on June 12 despite unresolved problems, and a certified letter I sent on June 15 requesting an amicable resolution was ignored. The final bill was double my deposit, with no communication that costs would increase. Although the firm advertises decades of experience and attention to detail, the work I received did not reflect those claims. Prior Yelp reviews show similar concerns, and I'm sharing my experience so others can make informed decisions

Though we only meet once a year, he always asks for updates on the family and our hopes for the future. There's almost nowhere else I find such a personal connection in the course of business. Strange as it sounds, taxes and all, I look forward to our meetings. Paul engages with a back-and-forth discussion about current tax laws, offers options my family and I might consider for the long term, and gives constructive feedback regarding freestyle financial decisions I made without counsel. Paul has a vested interest in his clients and treats us like family. We have a solid foundation built upon trust. That's a lost art in business these days. For as long as Paul is willing, my family and I will go nowhere else for our tax needs.

David helped me untangle a mess of taxes from previous years for me and was thorough in the work and clear in the explanation so I had full understanding of things. It had the potential to be really bad (my fault, I basically failed to pay some taxes years back) and David laid out my options and timeline and guided me through it. Since that I've used his office for taxes every year. Each year I get an easy to follow set of instructions to file and everything is ready to go.
