    (6 reviews)

    We recently moved to Lake County and were in search of a new company to do our tax prep for us. We…read moredid a little online research and I'm definitely pleased with the decision we made! Ronda met with us twice - once to meet us and go over all of our tax documents, and again to walk through our tax return with us. They e-file for you, which is also nice. She was very accommodating to our schedules and took the time to get to know us (and didn't mind our 3 year old tagging along!). She also provided some good advice for the upcoming year and was very accessible via phone and email. As an added bonus, they have a secure online portal for signing documents and such, eliminating the need for as many face-to-face meetings if that's what you're looking for. I like knowing that next year, we will work with Ronda again and not just a random person who is available, as was the case with the last company we used before we moved. I found the price of the tax prep to be reasonable and supporting a local business is always an added bonus in my book. We'll definitely recommend William E. Huml & Co. to others and look forward to continuing to work with them!

    I can't say enough good things about working with Bill and Ronda. They have prepared our personal…read moretaxes for the past several years, and are consistently professional, pleasant to work with, and incredibly accessible when and if we have any questions. I would (and have) recommend them to any of our family and friends. They are great!

    Chris did our taxes for the first time this year, and he did an excellent job. He was professional,…read moreprompt, reliable and so efficient and easy to work with that for the first time in more than 40 years, we didn't have to file for an extension! In addition, we paid much less than we had been paying our previous CPA. To say we're very pleased with Chris, is an under statement. RJS

    I contacted Chris Rudolph at the recommendation of a friend/financial advisor. I called him and we…read moretalked for a couple of minutes and he asked to see my previous year's return. I uploaded it and asked if we could meet and he told me to schedule a phone call with his assistant first. Karen scheduled it and said he would call me at the appointed time, when he didn't call, I emailed him and he then called and said he "never looked at his calendar". Then he asked for access to my QB and to send my 1099s, SS etc. I did that and also uploaded all my personal, home office expenses in an excel workbook. I asked again for a meeting, he said he would do a preliminary return and then we could talk. When I looked at the return, there were some errors, but mainly because he did not understand my business and previous tax filings. I asked again for a meeting so we could go over things and if I should do something differently, fine. But he asked to do it over the phone. I said, no, I really wanted the chance to meet and talk. I received an immediate email response saying he was "terminating" any business relationship with me. I was shocked, I couldn't believe how unprofessional! I will report him to the BBB. Shocking, if there was "0" stars that's what I would give.

    For the past few years, HTH has prepared the tax returns and provided related tax services and…read moreconsulting for our family trust. We hired HTH based on the recommendation of our estate planning attorney, and we have not been disappointed. Trust tax matters can be complicated, or at least they seem that way to those of us who are lay people. Fortunately, Jill and the other professionals at HTH have an excellent understanding of trust taxation and have expertly guided our family through all issues and requirements. It has been my experience that some doctors, lawyers and accountants are knowledgeable in their field but turn out to be very difficult to deal with on a personal level. That is not the case at HTH. The firm's personnel are not only skilled in their profession but also are nice people, which is definitely a bonus. HTH has all the technological bells and whistles you would expect at a top flight accounting and tax firm. These include the ability to e-file and also a secure online portal for clients which facilitates the transmission, review and completion of important documents. The work HTH has done for us has been of the highest quality, and the fees charged have been reasonable. I wholeheartedly recommend HTH to others looking for assistance from an accounting or tax professional.

    Hired KFN to do my business tax return as well as my personal taxes. Amazing quality, value and…read moreservice. They reviewed prior years returns and found numerous mistakes and/or missed opportunities and amended them resulting in significant money refunded. We use to use one of the big accounting firms, never again! KFN is diligent, very knowledgeable and ask questions that I would have never thought about which helped save significant. overall 10/10! highly recommend!

    I had an intro call that went over two hours, all great next steps but almost overly thorough (in…read morehindsight). But either way, I left the call thinking we'd have some great momentum and he promised to review our past taxes and our 2025 submission. Well, zero follow up. I signed a contract and then ghosted. Then my husband was bothered by this since I had sent him all our private info, so he called Kyle and got the same promises. Nothing again, and we keep trying to get in touch. If he's busy, just say so! But don't request all our very personal, identity documents then fall off the grid. Very very unsettling and more importantly HIGHLY unprofessional. I was looking forward to working with him! But seems like professional maturity and stability is highly lacking, beware. UPDATE FROM KFN RESPONSE: I'm a professional project manager, there is absolutely no way I would miss a meeting I had been adamantly requesting for weeks. It's disappointing how unbelievably inaccurate this response is, to the point I may need to alert Yelp itself. I tried to reach you number of times and I even had my husband reach out since it was an unknown number and maybe you'd answer. Which you did, and ghosted him as well. I wouldn't make this up, lying about it should be a huge red flag for anyone reading this.

    Very unprofessional. I informed Ted I had an operation scheduled for June 10, 2025, and this was…read morethe first week in April 2025, and I knew I needed to file an extension. I wound up filing an extension for myself. Further, only today, at the last minute, does he send me the return he prepared with several errors, such as a wrong address, an address no prior accountant has ever used for the return. He keeps making excuses for all his errors and even tries blaming a prior accountant for his incompetence, such as the necessity of including a balance sheet. A balance sheet is not required by the IRS. He pays no attention to details and only skims the information you send him. It got to the point where I had to terminate him, and I will need to hire a different (competent) accountant to do the returns. Avoid like the plague. Reply: With the number of errors you made, you have no basis to charge for anything. First, many statements you made are factually incorrect. The LLC does not and has never had over 250k in assets. As noted, with over 40 years of tax returns filed, not one prior accountant ever used an incorrect address, not one, only you. Second, it was clear you constantly made errors, never reviewed the entire information, as I had to keep sending you emails to correct and supplement the information you entered. It was very apparent I would never use your services again or recommend you, and you saw that coming and cut bait. It is clear you have had this problem with previous clients, and it is not new to you. Just look at the 2018 review.

    I HIGHLY recommend Ted and am so thankful to have found him. I had an urgent tax matter and reached…read moreout to a few firms on Yelp. Ted was by far the most responsive. He made a daunting matter less scary and held my hand through the process to resolve the matter all via Cloud and a quick chat. Very impressed by Ted's professionalism, friendliness, honesty, and expertise; he knows his stuff! Ted is the man for your tax needs! He is the best.
