Bernard Shorle the owner and his airhead assistant really screwed me over regarding how they prepared and filed my 2023 tax return negligent and incompetent, lazy and unorganized. They filed my business taxes late in May of 2024 because the owne, B.J had health issues. They filed my business seperate from my personal 1040 return. I asked ahead what would be my tax liability. They told me $3,900.00 total for both after they filed. Well that wasn't the case. They submitted my return without me seeing the return and approving before they filed. So now I owe $19,000.00 on top of the $3,900.00. I was in a panic and sent emails, phone calls and messages. They refused to answer my calls, and emails. So I had to call the hair salon next door to find out that they were actually in the office. So I notified the airhead and the owner that I contacted the business next door and they said they can't stand them next door. A lot of clients call the hair salon because they are irresponsible and lazy. They had the nerve to tell me that I have issues because I left so many messages in a weeks time. Not everyone has an extra $20k sitting around. They negligected to file any extensions for personal or business. I owe an extra $3,000.00 because they didn't file an extension for being late. They told me they will not fix my returns and to go somewhere else because I busted them out calling next door. I wouldn't trust these people ever again. I have begged them that I don't have the money and I need my return amended. They will not answer my messages. Run away from these people! You have an imcometant idiot that screens calls and emails. No one is a priority but themselves. They were reported to the IRS. The IRS admitted they were definitely negligent. I'm so stressed out, I don't know where else to turn. I also asked for a refund because they didn't complete my tax returns the correct way. I was told no refund! Best of luck dealing with these incompetent idiots! Pretty fun how after people write bad reviews, suddenly a couple of 5 Star reviews show up afterwards. I' whomever posted 5 star reviews was a relative or a friend asked to post a positive review! Don't fall for it. Read the bad reviews how similar what everyone complained about

they are very reasonable! They sit and go through everything with you. Great to work with.read more

There were many results, and I wasn't sure who to choose. Then, I found Patrick Sheehan & Associates, and knew they were the ones to call. Unlike other firms, Patrick worked within the tax system as an IRS attorney, so he knows how it all works on the inside. For taxpayers like you and me, this means Patrick and team are very knowledgable and can understand our situations from both sides to help decide which path to take. I called one afternoon, and Molly answered. She was very knowledgable and professional the entire time, listening while I explained what was going on and she asked specific questions to fill in the gaps I missed. When we realized it would be better to look over documents in person, Molly made time for us to meet the next day to discuss in more detail. When you have questions or issues with anything related to taxes, I recommend Sheehan & Associates. Even when you have a huge problem in front of you, I'm sure they can handle it. Remember, they are on YOUR side! Waiting will only make things worse. Relief from Sheehan & Associates is a phone call away. Call them, you'll be glad you did. Ryan

All I know is that if you dial his number you'll hear, "beep beep beeeeeeep...the number you have reached..." Meanwhile I was days away from losing everything. If it wasn't for Mr. Sheehan taking control of this situation and helping me understand what the heck is going on, I'm pretty sure I'd be wearing an orange jumpsuit and typing this from the pokey. Thank goodness I contacted this company. I have total faith that now my finances are back on track and I am confident my IRS problems are on the mend

As such, I was looking for a new Tax Guy. Michael Ludwig graciously took my mom and I on as new clients. He was extremely easy to work with, personable, and accommodated us for appointments that were convenient to our very limited schedule. Further, when I told him I was going to purchase a home soon and needed the tax documents for my pre-approval, he generated my taxes within a week. That was so appreciated! He filed them electronically that day. So, not only could I begin my home search, but I received my federal refund in under 10 days. Win-win. I appreciate Michael's willingness to take my mom and I on as new clients and for his timeliness and diligence! I'm happy to have a new Tax Guy - one who is easy to work with!
