I used Nailesh as a CPA for my 2016 tax returns. After interacting with a number of other tax…read moreprofessionals in the area, I can confirm he is one of the best Middlesex County has to offer. Between 2014 and 2016, I visited or called a number of tax professionals along the Route 1 corridor throughout Highland Park, Metuchen, Edison, and Woodbridge. Each year, I looked for assistance with my income tax returns. Unfortunately, since I don't have a particularly complicated situation, many CPAs dismissed me as a customer. I cannot tell you how many tax professionals denied me their time, telling me they only work with individuals with complex situations; they kept recommending I head over to H&R Block or just use Turbo Tax. The tax professionals who did accept my business in 2014 and 2015 completed my tax returns in as little as 5-7 minutes, just skimming over my documents and submitting returns without even having a conversation with me as a client.
As someone with a couple of tax-related inquiries who wanted to make sure I proceeded correctly, I knew I had to find someone new in 2016 who would take me seriously as a client. Nailesh did a wonderful job. When I called his office, he scheduled a same-day appointment with me and met with me for an hour. We held a one-hour initial consultation in which he reviewed my paperwork thoroughly and asked me a series of questions which immediately proved his thoroughness, his precision, and his commitment to his customers. Additionally, as questions arose throughout the process of preparing the returns, Nailesh texted me to ask follow-up questions to ensure the accuracy of my returns.
While working on my 2016 return, Nailesh noticed an inaccuracy that carried back two years to my 2014 returns (likely a result of the rushed and haphazard service I got at other tax preparation offices). He amended a number of my state and federal returns, gaining me not only piece of mind but a steady stream of small (but not unappreciated!) checks with some extra money I had not been anticipating.
At the end of the process, he invited me in for a final appointment to review my returns and explain his calculations, a step in the process which I very much appreciated. He also charged fair and reasonable rates, especially considering he spent three times as much time with me as many of his competitors in the area would have!
If you are looking for personal income tax preparation, I cannot recommend Nailesh any more highly. I look forward to using him for tax preparation in upcoming years, as well as recommending him to my immediately family and friend circle.
