    Contacted from ad for CPA services in Out North Texas 2024 business directory. Made the mistake of…read morecalling them and had three chaotic attempts with contract receptionists who wouldn't say if they were in the CPA firm or a pooled resource. Was forwarded to voice mail to another person not listed with Ron Allen in their ad. Struggled with unprofessional and incognizant receptionist who wanted to act as an information filter to send Mr Allen a message. I finally checked their website which didn't list the other person they had finally allowed me to leave a message on voice mail for, so I'm now totally confused. But I made a 4th attempt and used the web contact portal to describe my needs for CPA services which were several and my timeliness for getting a yes/no response within a few days. It's the 3rd day and no call back, text, or email whether they are available, interested, or unable to engage for any reason. Having been a registered professional engineer I find this pretty abysmal since there was no "out of office" voice mail greeting. At best they need to work with their receptionist. At the worst they need to check their Voicemail and consider getting a clerk who can marshal their front end business interface who knows which CPA services and customers they want or will take and not leave people hanging. Long and short I spent time asking professional friends ing for CPA references and I believe I have a tax CPA who meets muster. I don't recommend anyone who runs their business in this way without the courtesy of response as I believe that we were a good match from Mr Allen's advertisement. I have friends who are CPAs and who work for CPAs and I know how busy and hard they work, so perhaps it is just growing pains here. Good luck in any case.

    I found the Crescere group from the positive reviews on Google and Yelp, and I am certainly glad I…read moredid. Ron is a tax wizard. He helped me both with my business taxes and personal taxes, and WOW was I impressed with his knowledge. His expertise was such a relief to be able to lean on this year. Ron also has a unique since of humor, which may not be for everyone, but it made paying taxes oddly relaxing for me (and dare I say, even enjoyable). Would strongly recommend Ron for both business and personal tax needs!

    Proceed with Caution: My Experience with Ron Mussett…read more I initially worked with Ron to set up my LLC taxed as an S-corp. He was helpful during the initial process, but unfortunately, the execution was flawed. He made repeated administrative errors, such as filing paperwork incorrectly, missing deadlines, and even misspelling my name and my company's name multiple times. While I initially overlooked these mistakes, things only worsened over time. One of my biggest concerns was Ron's reluctance to answer questions beyond quarterly payroll tax filings. I often felt like an annoyance rather than a valued client. More critically, he failed to inform me that I wasn't making estimated personal income tax payments, which led to a substantial tax bill for 2024--complete with penalties. Based on my experience with him, I expect he would say this wasn't his responsibility, but better communication could have prevented the issue. Additionally, his tax planning knowledge was not the right fit. For instance, he was unfamiliar with Solo 401(k) plans and only recommended SEP IRAs, which didn't align with my financial strategy. He also would push back against strategies like structuring payroll for my spouse, paying her the max required for a 401(k) contribution, and "netting out." Beyond these shortcomings, his overall responsiveness was mediocre to poor--not just during tax season but consistently throughout the year. He was only reachable via email and rarely by phone, making it difficult to get timely responses. To be fair, Ron is very affordable compared to other CPAs. At the time, I was paying a fraction of what I pay now. However, I've come to realize that paying three times as much for my new CPA is well worth it--because at least now, I don't have IRS penalties, unexpected tax bills, or unanswered questions. My new CPA is available via phone and Zoom, open to one-on-one consultations, and takes the time to ensure I understand my tax strategy. If you're looking for a CPA who provides proactive guidance, strategic tax planning, and clear explanations, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Just as we expect doctors to have bedside manner, I believe a CPA should show a level of respect and care for their clients. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I often felt disregarded, and the lack of communication left me with IRS penalty letters, an unexpected tax bill, and a new CPA who is now cleaning up the mess. Ultimately, I take responsibility for not holding Ron accountable sooner. However, if you choose to work with him, be prepared to take a very hands-on approach and ensure you fully understand what he is offering. I've since found a CPA who is a much better fit--someone who takes the time to explain tax-saving strategies, aligns with my long-term financial goals, and ensures I won't be blindsided by another massive tax bill in 2025.
