I had a consultation with a CPA (Michelle) on my finances. She listened to my situation and was very informative and experienced on my options. She was also accommodating on whatever method we had on providing our ID and tax documents. Within a couple of days, she was done preparing my taxes and saved me over $3000 if had I gone the turbotax route! I couldn't believe it. The supporting staff were also friendly and prompt. I was given easy step-by-step instructions to mail in my tax forms. No fuss! I'm definitely coming back here for the next tax season.

Her level of communication, attention to detail, and ability to meet her client's needs is amazing and can't be matched anywhere else. She was EXTREMELY responsive to communication. The people that were assisting her were extremely kind, professional and responsive as well. Our taxes were done in a very timely manner and suggestions for the upcoming year were given to us. The prices for tax services also were reasonable compared to others. We can't recommend Flagg and Company more!

Ann is very professional and knowledgeable. I moved to Iowa from New York and found Ann through…read moreyelp. This was the most pleasant tax preparation experience by far. I'm so accustomed to waiting 2 hours to be seen and have my taxes done, but this time even with my interest income, student loan interest payments, moving expenses, NY state and Iowa State filing, she did out married filing jointly taxes in about 20-30 minutes. The fee is really reasonably considering the complexity, accuracy, and timeliness. I recommend calling in advance and scheduling an appointment to meet with her to prepare your taxes. Ann herself is really nice, welcoming and I highly recommend her. She is fully licensed CPA and professional. I'm always on the look out for a great tax preparer and avoid the big chains whenever possible because those types tend to hire seasonal tax preparers who don't have CPA licenses.

He is old enough to retire but is choosing to keep working on his own terms, like me. I appreciate his extensive knowledge of the tax system, and I am getting a better-than-expected return this year.

What…read morekeeps me coming back to Carla, aside from the free pens, free calendars, and copious amount of free candy, is that she knows me. This is like the Cheers of tax business. You're thinking.. How is that possible? Try it. She has all the fixins of that home town feel right in the heart of Des Moines. She has seen my financial and life situation change over the years from college and part-time jobs to full time jobs, to marriage and divorce, to buying a house and soon enough a child. The physical growth of this business over the years is a testament to the clientele she is getting and maintaining. The last two years I paid in for missteps I was making, and Carla troubleshooted me through it and I got it figured out. Funny enough, I discovered one of my best friends, who is a self employed, also gets her taxes done by Carla.

This really is as good as it gets...financially speaking. I was referred to Steve Bruner, CPA at…read morethis firm when I finally decided that being completely anxious about taxes AND 8 months pregnant AND potty training was not good for anyone. I live in Texas, but own property in Iowa, so I was looking for someone in the DsM area. I was apprehensive about handing over my financial information (and tax liability) to a stranger, but Steve is everything you want in an accountant. Smart, funny, prompt, competent. I asked a bunch of (ignorant and useless) questions and Steve had an answer for each one. He and his firm are extremely reasonably priced and likely found WAY more deductions in my taxes than the fee he charged--so I'm sure I came out ahead. He ALSO likely kept me out of trouble with the IRS given the complicated tax situation we were facing this year. Taxes? No fun. But working with Steve makes taxes a lot less horrible. And that's saying a lot. We will absolutely use Steve next year and I look forward to pumping this kid out for an additional tax write-off.
