My interactions with Michael were highly negative, as I found him to be highly rude and unprofessional. I had asked if he could handle a highly time-sensitive and important tax amendment, but he mentioned he was too busy due to the impending tax deadline. He then called me back and explained he might have time - and that he would call me back in a few days to confirm availability. I held off on looking for other accountants during this time.
When I called back, Michael's voice mail indicated he was out of the country. He lacked the decency to alert me of this fact prior to leaving. I lost 3 days in my search for an accountant, but also respect for Michael. When I asked if he was going to let me know of his departure, his response was rude, condescending, and unapologetic in my opinion - that he needed to leave the country and hopefully this was an adequate response. I received no response when I responded that his email was highly unprofessional and really shocking given this is a regulated industry. I would never expect such rudeness from other licensed professionals, such as a doctor or lawyer.
I do not recommend in the slightest, and hope "professionals" such as Michael are not supported with further business. read more
