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.

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!

Camden sold my Audi Q5 for me in RECORD time. (Not kidding!) I'd taken it into Audi Plano, but as…read morewith any trade in, they want to lowball you. In my case, it would've meant coming out of pocket just to get out of my car. Camden listed my vehicle on a Sunday and by Tuesday I had an all cash offer - way over what a dealership had offered me. Pretty impressive! As a busy mom and business owner, I'd been wanting to sell my car for months but I didn't have the time to do listings, take good photos, respond to buyers and screen out scammers. Camden took care of that part, which was really great. Camden also helped me find my next vehicle. Because he's so knowledgable about cars and their market value, he'll help you get the most bang for your buck. He'll also set appointments for you with a dealership, which made my purchase even easier. He found the car, called the dealership to inquire about it's options and if there was any wiggle room on price. When it came time to buy, I was in and out of the dealership in under half an hour. (He also told them that I'm extremely busy so they needed to make the transaction as quick and "painless" for me, which they did!) To be honest, due to Camden's age, (he's young) I wasn't sure what to expect. But he's wise beyond his years and a true entrepreneur who undoubtedly knows what he's doing! I also feel like he's honest and straightforward - he charges a flat fee, rather than a commission on the sale of your vehicle which makes his services even more valuable and customer focused! The way I've explained what EXACTLY he does to other people is this: He's essentially a head hunter for car buyers and sellers. He matches potential buyers with the car you're selling, or finds you the best deal on the vehicle you're looking to purchase.

Amazing customer service!!…read more Getting into my last car was very difficult - mainly due to the specifications of what I was looking for. Camden was able to help me locate a car that met 100% of my requirements and helped me work the process in less than a week. Not bad considering my insane 90+ hour work weeks... I highly recommend Camden regardless of what you're looking for. Not only is he knowledgable, he's very well connected which ensures a smooth process.

Accounting has always been an intimidating subject for me. Add to that it's tax season and my…read morepreliminary tax form indicates I owe money and I'm in full on panic mode. I needed help. Serious, professional help. Enter Cornwell Jackson. I reached out by email for a consultation and within a day received a phone call to discuss my questions and concerns. Scott spent a good 30 minutes discussing my situation with me and offering me valuable insight and advice. And after all that, he was honest enough to tell me it would cost me more to get professional help than to make a few changes on my own. I can't express in words how grateful I was for that kind of integrity and honesty. Other tax accountants I spoke to recently wouldn't even listen to me without trying to schedule an appointment that would cost me $200-250/hr. I may not have needed professional help this time around but I know who I will turn to without hesitation when I do. A company with outstanding professionals that really care about helping their clients! Thank you, Cornwell Jackson, for restoring my faith in the accounting world and making everything seem much less scary.

Tim was amazingly brilliant, dynamic in our call. He connected in a very real and warm way. He quickly got down to what the issues are that are holding back; asked pointed, honest and direct questions to help you uncover the reason. He helped me get very clear about next-steps in my current resume and then take steps in transforming my resume to a good one. Investing in taking time to talk to Tim was worth it. I highly HIGHLY recommend you go do it for YOURself!

This place is the real deal…read more I had the pleasure of scheduling a 1:1 resume review with YourNextJump's Tim Lo and had no idea what to expect from a call session, which is typically extra fluff just to fill up the airtime. I had sent in my linkedin profile as well as resume prior to the meeting so Tim had the time to review my profile. Right off the bat, Tim went straight into commenting on my resume, pointing out a few things that stood out to him. After inquiring about the type of jobs I was looking for, he then proceeded to make a few suggestions on how I can better present my resume while emailing me several resume samples and templates as guidance. I walked out of our first meeting feeling more supported than ever. I can see how job searching and resume updating can be a lonely, hard and long journey so it's great to have a service like Your next jump that can help you feel better on that road. Kind of like Job search therapy with tactical solutions. I highly recommend Tim's services to all jobseekers out there. He is empathetic, intelligent and to had a great sense of understanding of what I was hoping to get out of this and as a result, he more than delivered!

Recently had to use their service for a big move. The service was amazing…read more This time the movers that were contracted brought a large truck with more than enough rooms (I had to abandon a large amount of belongings last time). They even informed me to not pack or do any lifting (compared to last time when the movers showed up with inadequate equipment and I also had to help lift). They were also very responsive. Previously they never responded and I had to hound them due to inactivity on their end (I got my flight booked less than three days prior to my start date). This time, they responded in a few hour and were actually helpful. The planning was much better this time. They got me my flight a month in advance and all matters such as packing and car shipping were done prior to the flight (unlike last time where there were obviously no effort or care on Altairs part). There was an issue with an accessibility attachment I requested for my rental car that Altair still claims they paid for, but the rental car agency claims was not paid for. No effort was put in to remedy it but it is what it is. Overall, massive improvements. Altair, specifically Laura, was extremely attentive, professional, and courteous.

Yup - enjoy when they gaslight and lie to you and find new ways to harass you at every step of the way, even after you've completed your move. Refusal to reimburse you even after you submit receipts and proof of payment? Yup - it's so very kind of us to provide them interest free loans when they neglect their repayment obligations. Uninhabitable temporary living quarters? Yup - I didn't research the place they selected and woke up with a mouse in my bed. Had I checked google reviews, I would've known the place had known sanitary issues as residents previously reported bug and pest infestations. Logistical messes? Yup - at every step of the way. Insanely inflated prices? Yup - it's a ripoff.

If you haven't agreed to have them handle your move yet, negotiate a lump sum instead and take care of everything yourself. You'll save yourself weeks of your life and an insane amount of stress by avoiding this company.
