Having Jim do my taxes means that's one less thing I have to worry about and I know the work will be done right. I have complete confidence in him.

But James Flannery seems like a no nonsense kinda guy who's knowledgeable and personable at the same time.

We have been clients of Michael RIggs for more than a decade, and we could not be more satisfied…read more Mike has handled our personal tax returns and planning, as well as our small business taxes with zero issues. I found doing our own taxes was nerve-racking, as we were afraid we would miss out on tax savings or commit some error on our returns. We had been audited with our prior accountant, and that added to the IRS phobia. Mike always puts our minds at ease, and he has found many savings for us over the years, offers terrific suggestions for opportunities to lower our tax bills, and charges extremely reasonable fees. Mike completes our taxes very quickly once we give him all of our paperwork and statements, and he posts them in a web portal for us to review and approve prior to filing. In addition, he is always fast to respond to any queries we have. He has made a formerly taxing exercise easy, and we definitely can file him under "professional".

I just started my own business last year. The mere thought of hiring a personal account was…read morebeyond me. I never ever thought that I would ever need a personal accountant...it seemed like an unnecessary and expensive expense and something that I should be able to handle on my own. I had no idea what I was in for. There was no way that I could sift thru all the paperwork on my own. And I had no idea how it would affect my personal affairs as well. I was at a total loss! A friend of mine highly recommended Richard. She worked with him at Bank Of America. She and her family had been using him for years, and wouldn't go elsewhere. I took her recommendation and can't tell you how satisfied I am with his services. He totally out us at ease and we received our refunds faster than I have ever received them. And the fees were totally way less than we anticipated. Go to him!

Knowing that, we entrusted him with our personal and businesses taxes, and have not been disappointed ever since. Not only does he stay up to date effectively with his tax laws, he sends his clients a letter on the tax changes each year to keep us informed in a summary fashion. Consultations with him are always filled with stories about life experiences (both ours and his) as we touch on various subjects we have questions on, making his answers memorable and giving us lots of food for thought. Verdict: Highly recommend.

I rarely write reviews. When I do, it's because of truly stellar service…read more My husband and I came to Michael Raff after 3 other accounting firms failed to help us solve a costly error made by the IRS and a previous accountant. The issue had been lingering since 2020 (2019 tax year). We tried numerous CPA firms and tax accountants. A few claimed they could help ultimately at significant cost to us, many told us to "forget about it". Last fall we decided this was a job for a tax attorney. I read reviews from every possible source trying to find a tax attorney with good reviews. Michael Raff's reviews were 100% great. I was suspicious of that many great reviews. I concluded that there were too many and too varied for the feedback to be fake. Not only that, he has a transparent and meticulous process for the way he bills and updates clients. Others before him pledged to keep us informed but only Michael proactively phoned us (and followed up with an e-mail) at the end of every month. The minimal retainer he asked for in order to work on this problem is still not used up. Michael was able to retrieve the money from the original error in LESS THAN SIX MONTHS, where other large, expensive firms had failed us for OVER 5 YEARS. He is still planning to retrieve money from the IRS on our behalf for the error adjacent money. We assumed he was a specialist only and worked as a dedicated tax attorney. Michael also does regualar tax preparation. It did not take much convincing to for us to engage him as our accountant. If you want an acccountant who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and ethical, I think you would be hard pressed to find someone more skilled than Michael Raff.

You must consider this business if you are looking for tax preparation assistance…read more Easy, knowledgeable, prompt, and professional is how this firm rolls. I reached out to Tim after a not so fab experience with another accountant after relocating to the area. Finding an accountant is seriously as difficult as finding a great hair stylist. Within minutes of talking on the phone, I felt he could deal with my Type A-may panic about taxes-personality. A win for me. Everything was organized and simple. I had all my documents scanned in, emailed them over, and we met in person because I just wanted to go through this face to face step. I did not have many questions, and Tim put me at ease immediately. My taxes were done and paid for quickly (it behooves you to have your s_i_t together....just saying). Absolutely seamless. I cannot recommend this firm enough!

In previous years, we'd used two well known and highly rated accounting firms to manage finances and file taxes.

Advisant sorts through it all and has done so professionally and patiently. I only wish I had found them sooner.

Patrick put the wrong PIN on my 2018 IL-1040 for Property Tax Credit. He used my income property…read morePIN, instead of my principal residence. There should have been no confusion as I sold my income property and had all those documents separated for him. However, as a result, I received a return correction notice zeroing out my $600+ credit. I called Patrick to correct his mistake and he directed me to work with the Dept. of Revenue directly to provide what they are looking for. Now, they are saying I can only claim part of the credit because I bought the house in 2017. Reading online, it looks like I'm eligible for the credit on my sold property too. 6 months later, I still need to submit new documents and figure this out myself. Isn't that what I paid him for? By the time this is over, I will have spent countless hours on this over 8-10 months to fix his simple mistake. I think he knows what he's doing but he is working too fast and is prone to mistakes as a result. Then you're on your own to fix his mistakes.
