The worst accounting firm that I've ever had the displeasure of working with I was placed with…read moreWalter Kloc, I had simple, no income taxes and wanted him to look into a tax notice I received. There was no aommunication. I had to call and email multiple times, finally having to reach out to Peter Riley. I was charged over #400 yo do no income taxes as I'm on disability. When I inquired, Walter was nice enough to reduce the fee but when I asked about the tax issue I originally came in fir, I received an mail that said he didn't want to handle my taxes anymore, leaving me feeling totally vulnerable to the irs. Totally aurprised as Peter was highly recommended, Walter, I don't know, but I don't feel he was professional or had any client follow through

Joe will meet with you and learn all about your business. He acts as an accountant, financial adviser and business consultant all in one! His advice has helped up clean up our back end and finally tackle sales tax and all the other things that made tax time a nightmare in years past! His rates are great, his service is fast and prompt and he is so easy to reach. We really couldn't ask for more. Thank you Joe, for all you do!!

Nakata Consulting is an essential piece of my business life!!…read more But for the rest of this review let's just be on a first name basis and talk about Joe. I would have probably given up the whole self employed business long ago if not for Joe. I found Joe through some other colleagues in the Boston photography network years ago. I'll admit I was more than clueless about how to keep my bookkeeping organized and he took me under his wing, took the chaos and made sense of it all. Now I do most of the bookkeeping on my own and he gives it a look once a month to make sure I'm on track. In a "teach a man to fish...." sort of a way. Monthly, quarterly and annual taxes are a breeze now and I can confidently make business purchases and know the overall health of the business. If you're a small business (he has a keen knowledge of the photography business - take a look at his client list!! http://www.nakataconsulting.org/links.php ), but also for restaurants, etc... He'll do your sales taxes, bookkeeping, consulting and all at reasonable rates. I've referred him to friends (non-business owners) as well and he'll definitely take care of you. So walk right past H&R Block and call Joe!

Absolutely, DO NOT use H&R Block in Amesbury. I don't recall having a worse service experience…read morewith any business in the past. If I could give negative stars I would. I got charged way more than was appropriate for the service I rec'd. And my tax pro Mike A) couldn't do the job himself and B) NEVER initiated a call. I dropped my stuff off on April 8th and got it back in early June. This was a very basic filing. Every call was met with "oh, I was just finishing up xyz for you..." It was an absolute joke. The manager of that HR Block runs many of them throughout the Newburyport area up to Portsmouth. I would recommend NEVER using any of these if you want decent service. I was promised a credit over a month ago. No one ever followed up...and when I just called, I got "i'll call now and follow up on the credit". Absolute Joke of service.

Had an appointment for 5:00PM with Dudley at H&R Block In Amesbury. Arrived at 4:50 and was told…read morethat Dudley was wrapping up with another customer and would be right with me. At 5:20 I approached the reception desk to ask about my appointment. The receptionist went to Dudley and I heard him say "Tell him to leave" I departed a few moments later. This is very unprofessional. I departed my job early to make this appointment. They should schedule longer appointments instead of making customers wait. This is the 1st (and last) experience with H&R Block.

Do not go here! Pam Howard met with me Feb 12 to review my…read moretax documents. Then advised she would complete and I could pick them up at April 2nd appt at 3pm. On April 2, we walked in and the secretary told us she was not there. She was at a smoke break. She advised that we should drop our documents off. I reminded the secretary that we already met in February and we were there to pick up the finalized documents. She had them in the front drawer and handed them to me. Nothing was done on them. She had no explanation. Just then another couple entered the office and also said they had a 3 PM appointment. It was the same story for them. They had provided the documents online a month ago. The woman told her to drop them off today. They said they already had done that. She was not there for the 3 o'clock appointment out for a smoke break. No one was in the office but the secretary. It's April 2 only two weeks left before the deadline for taxes. I will be contacting executive management of H&R Block as they should pay for my taxes this year. This caused undo stress. I've spent all of the time preparing and meeting with them already to have nothing to show for it.
