I discovered Mark Stanhope when I moved to the area in 2016 and found that my tax situation had…read morebecome too complex for me to handle alone, and while using a well known tax preparation software. Mark told me what documents I would need, including returns from the preceding 2 years. He submitted amended returns for my previous 2 years and got me refunds on both. He then filed my current return and although we did owe some money, I now had much higher confidence in the accuracy of the filed returns, both federal and state. Since that first year, our situation has continued to grow in complexity and I no longer worry when tax time comes 'round. I fill out Mark's annual summary survey and return along with my receipts and am amazed that I typically get back my completed return, ready to file, in just a few days. Though we have had a few years where we owed money on our returns, this year (2021) was very tough for my wife and me. I had a job change and my wife had 2 job changes, we sold our house and moved from MA to NH. Coupled with some 401K rollovers, and our tax situation was even more confusing and beyond my ability to manage. Mark, again, looking closely at all options, found us a surprisingly large refund for the year. I was thrilled this filing season to learn that Mark will be able to continue filing our Federal and MA returns even though we have moved out of state. Mark is personable, professional, and very knowledgeable. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending him to anybody who is looking for any of the services his firm offers.

Despite the difficult transition to an all-Zoom format and document portal, she fulfilled every request. Robin stated only two documents were missing; we uploaded them within three days and requested an update. Since early April, we have been met with total silence. Robin's voicemail cites a lack of office staff and support as the reason for not returning calls - a situation that appears to be a personal business choice after her move to Maine, yet it is being treated as an unavoidable excuse. It is now May 4th. Tax day has passed, my mother's taxes are now filed with another preparer with a late penalty, and we have received zero communication. No status update, no apology, and no confirmation of an extension. If you value your peace of mind and want to avoid IRS late fees, look elsewhere.

During this complicated time (challenging tax laws, decisions and planning ahead), we found Ash to be a true guide. Ash is a smart tax professional, and his dedication to explain complicated concepts for business or personal planning, allows a person to make an informed decision in a personable, friendly and a professional manner. We have worked with other CPAs, and have used tax software before. However, the money you might "save" is lost in your return either this year, or the lack of planning in the next year.
