He's always responsive, professional, and took the time to learn about us and our business. Derek's shown me tax strategies I never knew we could take advantage of and have saved me from paying Uncle Sam more than necessary. I am so thankful that I found W&K and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert tax advice.

I hired Williams & Kunkle to file the taxes for my deceased sister's estate for 2021. I paid $1000…read morefor this service for a relatively small estate. They completed the forms and told me to mail them to the IRS. I did so only to find out later that that will take nearly a year to receive the refund. Well, here it is, 2024...2 years later and the estate is no closer to receiving the refund than it was in March of 2022. After numerous communications with the IRS, we recently learned that the Social Security number that the Williams & Kunkle CPA used was incorrect. At this point, there seems to be little chance of resolving all of the problems this mistake has caused. Needless to say, I made a major mistake involving this firm in settling my sister's estate taxes.

Last Year I…read morewas a 1099 Tax return, give it a 6/10 was there 30min but charged for an hour, John was not thorough. Assumed it was me not asking the right questions and gave them a second chance this year. I was a 1099 Independent Contractor with a Small business LLC that has been open for 3 months. Day of the appointment, again, there for 30 min, John said I would owe 11K in taxes and recommend an LLC to not have to pay those taxes, I was confused because I indeed already had an LLC , and clearly someone missed all my paperwork I input on their organizer. John took a look at my LLC and said "Nevermind, I'm gonna have to redo all this" I left Extremely confused. I called twice and all they could say was " We will let you know if we need anything from you" WHAT!?! WEEKS LATER I get an email stating taxes are done. I was charged 600 for personal, again, charged for an hour that I was not there for, then, 1,300 for business taxes, AND 800 for someone to go through my quickbooks. I had requested 1 HOUR of Quickbooks Organizing. No acknowledgment to the mess up and almost putting me 11K in Debt! No Communication to what is going on. My FIRST time filing for my 3 Month old Business and The Worst Experience I could've had. I Paid My Bill, and I Won't Fight over 3K because I have other this to worry about, but definitely want to help anyone out there looking to file your taxes. Don't come here, There is better out there, Period.

I hired Mike/Tax Cleanup in April 2025 to help me file several years of back taxes and get…read morecompliant as a 1099 worker. I was quoted approximately $4,000 and was told my entire case would be handled. I provided organized records, mileage logs, income documents, and supporting information through the client portal early in the process. After that, communication became extremely difficult. For months, I repeatedly called, texted, and followed up asking for updates. Many calls went unanswered, messages were ignored for long stretches of time, and I was frequently told things like "I'm busy right now" or "I'm out of the office, I'll call you back," only to hear nothing further. When I was finally able to reach him, it was often late in the evening and I was repeatedly asked to resend information that had already been uploaded previously. I have included screenshots showing the pattern of communication and lack of response over time. One major red flag for me was being asked to have my wife sign a power of attorney that was backdated roughly 20 years, despite the fact that she is only 36 years old. By December 2025 -- roughly eight months after I originally hired him -- the returns were finally "ready" to submit. When I asked about payment options with the IRS, I was told I would "have to" pay well over $1,000 per month. When I explained that was not financially realistic for my family, I was essentially told I had no other options. I also asked about representation before the IRS and was told I could either handle the calls myself or pay additional money for him to do it, but that the outcome would supposedly be the same either way. At that point, I lost confidence in the process. I ultimately reviewed and corrected portions of the returns myself and submitted them directly to the IRS by mail. Some returns contained errors that required correction after rejection notices were received. After educating myself on the IRS process and speaking directly with IRS representatives, I learned there were in fact multiple compliance and payment-plan options available depending on financial circumstances. My experience was extremely frustrating, drawn out, expensive, and ultimately left me feeling like I had to finish the process myself after paying thousands of dollars for professional help. Use caution and do your research before hiring this company.

Whatever questions we have they patiently field and answer with good advice and we always appreciate their guidance.

Their processes allow you to securely upload tax documents at your convenience and then one is able to easily handle tax return prepping usually by email or Zoom conferencing as needed. I would recommend them to anyone who needs some help with their taxes or business tax questions.

If you are looking for a partner to help with your accounting needs, this is not the place. When reached out to J Chester & Associates I explained to the firm manager, David Perez, exactly what I was looking for in an accountant. He was happy to take my money, have me fill out a form, then pass me along to others within the firm. I repeatedly requested a phone call with an accountant and was ignored completely. Next thing I know my taxes were filed, without ever speaking to me directly about any deductions I may be entitled to, my small business or any other personal information that may be pertinent. Don't believe the positive reviews about this firm, I sure wish I hadn't.
