Absolutely terrible experience with JR Gramstead CPA. After trusting them with our tax return, they…read morefailed to complete it correctly -- a mistake that has still not been addressed or corrected eight months later. Despite repeated emails and phone calls, we've received nothing but silence, excuses, and broken promises. JR is never available, rarely in the office, and now sends my calls straight to voicemail after yet another missed commitment two weeks ago. Completely unprofessional. Save yourself the stress and stay far away from this firm and CPA.

When we first moved back to Texas, we were still using the same company in Colorado but unfortunately, the services weren't the same. We researched online and found JR about five years ago. I was nervous because I didn't know if he would be as good as our former CPA. I met with him in person and after speaking with him and asking many questions, I was satisfied that we made the right choice. JR and his staff are very professional, efficient, and reliable. I have never had to make calls out of the ordinary for updates on our taxes. If they are missing documents or have questions, they have always contacted me by phone and/or email. There are a ton of CPA's in Texas. I'm glad I found JR. Highly recommended.

Have been using Fisher Tax for several years…read more Even after we moved from Fort Worth to San Antonio we still use them for tax service and advice. Harvey always answers our tax questions the same day or the next. After we send in our documents for taxes to be done Harvey always completes them in a few days. The process is very efficient and you are kept informed of every step of the way. We like Harvey so much we have told all of our kids about him and know some of them are also using his tax service and asking questions. They tell us he responds very quickly. Fisher Tax Solution prices are on par with the market and we feel that the price we pay we get our monies worth. We highly recommend Fisher Tax Solutions and will continue to use their service for a very long time.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS "CPA"!! I hired Marty for my business tax return and experienced nothing but…read moreproblems throughout the process. Poor communication and poor customer service was the last thing I expected after paying Marty a premium price ($3000 for 2017 return and $300/mo IN ADVANCE for the 2018 return) for what should have been a fairly simple tax return . Marty and his firm failed to pay attention to any of the information that was given to them, they overlooked a $70,000 write off that was specifically pointed out to them in advance, filed for an extension over a month late (costing me a $400 penalty which they would never address despite numerous emails and messages left) and threatened to cancel their services the first time I expressed any frustration. Mind you they were informed in early February that I was in the process of buying a home therefore filing on time was crucial. On 2/13/18 Marty let me know that they had began working on the return. One month later on 3/13/18 he emailed to say he was running behind and would be filing an extension (deadline is 3/15/18 for an extension). On 3/27/18 he emailed to say that the return would be completed and sent for review within 2 days. 6 days later I received the return which was missing $70,000 in depreciation write offs and had mistakes where he "assumed" that partial taxes had been paid mid year, mind you he never asked, he just input numbers he thought should go there. 4/9/18 I confirmed that all revisions were correct and that I was approving the revised return to be filed, Marty said he would get it done (We were scheduled for closing by the end of April and Marty knew this). 9 DAYS LATER I get an email confirming that an EXTENSION (not the return) was filed on 4/17, 34 days after he initially claimed an extension would be filed, and 32 days after the deadline to file an S corp extension. This is when I began to really question his abilities and his word. Marty had no concern for my business or personal needs and he had no concern for how this was going to affect my home purchase. On 4/18 Marty said he would E-file the return the next morning and scheduled a call for 4/23 to go over my concerns. He skipped the call on 4/23 and never filed the return on 4/19 despite sending an email claiming he had. My return wasn't actually filed until 4/27/18, 73 DAYS AFTER he began working on it, and only 1 day before closing on our new home. Marty was paid over $4000 for his services and fell short every step of the way. On 8/13 I received a letter from the IRS letting me know that Marty never filed the proper forms for our business classification. When contacted, Marty initially said he would resubmit the forms but then never followed up with us. We had to reach out to the IRS directly to resolve the issue. On 10/18 I received a letter from the IRS that Marty had failed to file the return or the extension on time and that I owed a fine of $400. Marty was emailed and called and I left messages with his secretary. He never responded to me in any way. This should tell you everything you need to know about his professionalism. We only hired Marty because he claimed to specialize in business taxes and we wanted someone knowledgeable to make sure we didn't have simple mistakes and screw ups. In the end I could have gotten better service from H&R Block for a lot less money and stress. SAVE YOUR MONEY & AVOID THIS "CPA"!!!

When we started working with his firm, our company was not performing to its peak potential. Marty helped me create a strategic plan to increase profitability. When my business partner decided to leave Marty helped evaluate the firm as well as helped with the buyout. As we completed the buyout, Marty reviewed the exit strategy options for the company and provided strategic thinking in the conversion to an ESOP. His advise helped me make more money while operating the business and helped me pay less tax upon the sale of my company. Marty and his firm continue to be a great asset to me and the company. I would highly recommend this firm for your needs.

During our phone interview Jay sounded great and especially loved the fact he was crypto literate. It was downhill from there. Here are the negatives..... 1, He kept accusing us og not knowing hot to properly do bookkeeping and asking us to turn over our bookkeeping to him - for a fee of course. We have never had any CPA complain about our bookkeeping and we have been doing it for 19 years. 2. He failed to depreciate our buildings at our business thereby causing me to end up owing the IRS an additional 15k in taxes that I should have never paid. Our new CPA caught this and filed an amended return to correct the mess Jay created. 3. He never filed the franchise tax report with the TX Comptroller's office and never bothered to mention that he did not file it. This caused us to get a notice from the state putting us out of business until we remedy this by filing our report. Again our new CPA is handling it. 4. Jay is constantly trying to upsell services as add ons that other CPA firms include in their tax preparation service. Also when something goes wrong it is always the clients issue never his responsibility. Stay away. This was the worst accounting experience ever.
