I viewed myself as a very very small client that probably didn't deserve all this attention, but this is absolutely what I received..

In addition, their rates were very reasonable compared to other firms I have worked with. Thanks so much !!

I am writing this to warn other business owners about the significant accounting errors and lack of…read moreaccountability we experienced at Rupert and Associates. We worked with this firm for two years, and it proved to be a major setback for our operations. Despite being assigned a "QuickBooks expert," the firm failed to manage our Housecall Pro integration correctly--continually insisting we simply unlink it. As the business owner, I was eventually able to coordinate with the software providers myself and fix the integration settings within just two weeks. Because our books were not being reconciled monthly as promised, we were advised to file 2024 taxes that were admittedly inaccurate to avoid "correction costs." This resulted in us overpaying on our tax liability based on flawed data. After I hired an independent bookkeeper in late 2025, they uncovered over 700 uncategorized transactions dating back nearly a year. Most damagingly, the firm underpaid our Q3 and Q4 Texas state sales tax. I am now personally responsible for the resulting fines and penalties. Despite these documented failures, the firm still charged $1,000 for "work performed" during the period these errors occurred. When I reached out to the owner to dispute this, they refused to take any responsibility for the penalties their mistakes caused. If you value accurate bookkeeping and a firm that stands by their professional work, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I did my homework when I was looking for someone to help me with an IRS bank and income levy. After shopping around and doing homework on the "big" tax resolution corporations, who hound you for payment and will instantly pass you on to the next person to handle your case. Ms. Evelyn Edwards has been the one constant thing throughout this process, and I don't think there can be a cost placed on that. She helped me understand all the options but above all, her ability to communicate with the IRS is how I knew she was a seasoned professional. Obviously, this whole process is not easy in any capacity, but Ms. Evelyn Edwards made it a lot less stressful. I will be recommending her to anyone I know needs tax help.

They found legitimate ways to lower our tax obligations and always took the time to explain our options clearly.

They also gave me great tips and guidance when I set up my LLC, which made the whole process much easier. Beyond their expertise, what really stands out is their customer service. They genuinely care about the people they work with, respond quickly, and make you feel like more than just a client.
