I had done my taxes myself previously but am glad I stumbled into her office - a quite by accident - while downtown. It's qute a a site actually. She works with another accountant and it looks like an old fashioned busy office. I enjoyed speaking with her as well. She is full of knowledge and will advocate for you best she can. Recommended.

Shelley is not like this. She is detail-oriented, and she has a forensic mind. I brought in my initial paperwork, and we talked for a long while, to give her a picture of my tax life. I left with a hand-tailored list she gave me, points of additional information that would reduce my tax liability. Once I had everything, she took me through my return, illustrating how each adjustment impacted the total. All in all she spent quite a bit of time with me. I never felt rushed, this wasn't a mere transaction for her. I felt she was genuinely invested in my best interests. She does handles the situation for her clients as well, so you don't have to hire someone else. I will definitely be coming back next year!!

With over 40 years experience and having actually worked for H&R Block for over 22 years, she is an absolute pro and sweetheart. As you can imagine I was quite nervous to have my taxes prepared for the first time in a few years and these feeling were immediately eased when I noticed Madeline's motto on her business cards: "In for a while, out with a smile :)". This was the absolute best tax experience of my life! Madeline and her associate, Sylvia, were professional, thorough, hysterical, and most importantly accurate. They put all my fears to rest and were truly looking out for my best interest. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of work and my overall experience at Madeline's Tax Service. This IS as good as it gets!

I asked…read morefor help in filing for custody of my child and decided not to go with a lawyer since the other parent was in agreement to give me full custody. I was a college student at the time, so financial resources were very scarce, but I needed help filing to take time off my hands so I could focus on school. She was very enthusiastic about taking my case and said she helped other parents before so she was fairly confident in the way she expressed her expertise. I paid $1,500 for her to help me fill out the documents and file the fee in the Hayward Court. She said that the fee is larger because the filing fee is around $500, but she also applied for the fee waiver (which was approved because at the time I was low income) so I'm assuming the full $1,500 fee was her take-home amount. She wasn't transparent about that though. I did sign the fee waiver, but chose not to address it since I just wanted to forego the headache of having to drive to the Hayward Court to file documents while I was in college. She was also the recipient address of all the court documents, so the least she could do was inform me if I had a court date to attend to for the custody hearing. After paying the fee, she gave me an update when it was filed. Lo and behold, I hadn't been receiving any updates from her for a few weeks. I was curious and looked at the Court website to see if there was a court date set - and like a movie I saw that the custody hearing for my child's case was THE NEXT DAY. Again, didn't receive any communication for her for a few weeks. She said she would contact me if there was an update. Also, if you didn't know anything about custody hearings, no-shows mean by default you give rights to the other parent in attendance. I immediately contacted her and said that the court date is already set for tomorrow and why she didn't let me know, since she's the person receiving the information and that the least she could do was inform me of the court date since she also didn't forward me any mail that she received about my case. I told her I was disappointed and I didn't even receive an acknowledgement that she made a mistake. She just said "I'm sorry you feel that way". And then after that, she forwarded all the mail she received to me AFTER I discovered the court date by myself. It's been years since this occurred, and just thinking about the fact that I could have lost custody of my son due to a non-communicative, incompetent person that I paid $1,500 to help me file and update me on court matters still makes me panic every time I think about it.

After an initial phone consultation, we met with Derrick to go over our taxes and come up with a tailored system to keep as much of our money as we possibly could in our hands rather than handing it over to the IRS. We spent a good deal of time together, and ended up with a very sound strategy after covering all the bases. We found Derrick to be very personable and easy to talk with, knowledgeable about everything under the sun in the world of taxation, responsive to all of our needs and concerns, and someone we could fully trust as our representative to deal with the IRS. As an Enrolled Agent, we have complete confidence that Derrick would be fully able to handle the IRS in any negotiation process that might arise in the unlikely event that we would ever be in that situation. After building a remarkably sound foundation, we discovered, to our surprise, that Derrick was including this critical work as part of our yearly tax preparation fee (which is very reasonable), and was not charging us anything for all the time he spent getting us ready for the 2020 tax year! We couldn't be happier to have him on board, and we can tell you without any reservation that you will be most satisfied with Pendleton Tax Services helping you take care of all of your tax preparation and strategy needs.

Let me tell you why you should switch your tax professional to Derrick Pendleton.... It's to your benefit. You'll get your money's worth! Derrick is super friendly, understanding and alleviates the stress off your shoulders. I can't stress it enough, he takes his time with you versus rushing you out the door. I would suggest brainstorming questions to ask, and bringing those questions with you to save time. I always come with a notepad filled with 20 questions or more that came to mind in the time leading up to my appointment. For myself, I gather my tax documents in January, then I schedule my appointment soon after. There are so many people who wait last minute. Don't be one of them. For your convenience, you could also email your documents vial email versus going into the office. I personally like meeting in person, but Derrick is open to whatever is convenient for you. Once he receives your paperwork, you will receive an email from him when your taxes are complete. Overall, I love Pendleton Tax Services!
