Our experience with Becky as our CPA was an absolute headache from start to finish. Emails went…read moreunanswered for months, leaving us constantly chasing her just to get basic updates about something as important as our taxes. At one point, she scheduled an in-person meeting in Dallas even though we live in Houston, apparently expecting us to make a roughly four-hour drive for a meeting. That level of disorganization was incredibly frustrating. Worst of all, our 2024 and 2025 taxes were not completed as expected, and now we're left dealing with money owed to the IRS. The lack of communication, organization, and follow-through has cost us both time and money. If you want to waste your time and money while dealing with one headache after another, she's the CPA for you. Based on our experience, I'm genuinely surprised she still has clients. I wouldn't recommend her to my own worst enemy.

My husband and I started working with Jeremy at the beginning of this year and in a matter of 6…read moremonths we are leaps and bounds ahead of our own set personal goals for our business. We always say, "there is nothing we can't do with a pool but the office"....well in comes Jeremy. He put together the most detailed presentation (that we completely understood) on how we should register our company, what tax breaks we could benefit from and all the paperwork we needed to get from A to Z. Jeremy always makes us feel like we are his only clients, (which is far from true) or at least his favorite, (this maybe true) :). But all joking aside, Jeremy is top notch. He answers all of our calls, emails and questions,(no matter how small) right away. Which for me, is one of the most important qualities that I look for in any business relationship. We have also found another perk working with Jeremy to be his vast network of businesses and people that he is ready to refer as soon as the request is asked. It has been such a relief for us to be able to use businesses that have already been vetted by someone like Jeremy. All in all, Jeremy is an excellent CPA. AND So. Much. More. If you are looking to get every benefit out of your company, then you have found your man. If you are great at your profession but lack in any of the office departments, I know you will be just as amazed with Jeremy as we are. There are no words for us to describe the peace of mind that we have experienced since starting work with Jeremy.

Tatsiana Bender was referred to us by my wife's former boss who is also a CPA. I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Bender. She was extremely helpful and understood our needs. The program she uses is extremely simple to use. Just upload all tax forms and they are stored in an online folder. Chat makes it easy to ask questions/supply answers. Any tasks needed to be done by taxpayer are listed and checked off as completed. Having to complete three returns was simple with the program. Returns were completed faster than I anticipated and ready to be signed. Anything that needed to be completed for filing was clearly explained. Finally a planning phone call is done to explain opportunities for tax savings next year. I am extremely happy using Bender CPA and would recommend her for any complex tax work or business function.

Two years ago my wife and I made the decision to engage with Smallwood and Associates, and that has turned out to be a smart business move! Cal has guided us through confusing transactions such as 1031 Exchanges, entity formation/capitalization and intracompany transactions. Even though my wife is a competent CPA, we decided our time was better spent helping our clients and spending time with our family, rather than stressing over the tax code complexities or looking over the shoulder of our prior CPA who merely "checked the boxes." Even during the hectic accounting season, Cal has always found time to sit down with us, face-to-face, to recommend strategies to reduce our tax burden and streamline our bookkeeping. We have saved a considerable sum in taxes since switching, and we no longer sweat tax season. I'm not sure how our experiences could have differed so wildly from the previous reviewer. We've found it easy to communicate with Cal, and we've always received first class treatment, though we're likely one of his smaller accounts. I'm guessing the reviewer probably provided insufficient/incorrect data, expecting miracles. The world's best CPA is no magician, and must rely on data as provided by the client! As the old saying goes, "Junk in, junk out." The "customer comes first" slogan proves a futile defense during an IRS audit! I sleep well at night knowing my returns are ACCURATE. I can enthusiastically recommend Cal as a CPA who will undoubtedly save you headaches while helping you keep more of your hard-earned money! Philip Sterling Broker/REALTOR Sterling Realty Co.

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.

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.
