    We needed help with our taxes - with someone who could do our personal WA based federal taxes plus…read moreOR. I was referred to one of the Sherwood folks by a friend. I explained that I really didn't know anything about convoluted taxes and the family-related firm we'd gone with the past 2 years had been highly problematic - which is why we needed a new person/firm. They explained that fees were based on the number of forms. I scanned mounds of pages for both 2023 and previous 2022 year. This sat, unreviewed, for a few of weeks. When the person did look at them - I received a nasty email stating how I had "blindsided" them. Our past filings included many more forms than I had any working knowledge of when I first contacted. They assumed we would balk at the price & accused me of "blindsiding". I have no clue about taxes - which is why we were looking for a professional to do them. Because of the OR portion, no, it is not particularly easy to find someone outside OR to do the job. (OR has law that a CPS MUST be certified to do OR taxes) We would've paid the fair price based on the # of forms it turned out to be. Now - I'm scrambling to find someone only 2 weeks before Tax Day.

After waiting for 3 weeks in their queue they said they would not work with us. Extremely unprofessional and wasted 3 weeks of our time. We wanted a professional tax service so we could lock down a good mortgage rate. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY.

    Best ever, always quick and accurate. Great friendly customer service…read more Saved us so many times.

    HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TAX & ACCOUNTING BUSINESS!!…read more Listen to the bad reviews because they are 100% correct! I saw these reviews when I found out we would be working with this company after a referral from my husband's friend. I was trying to give this business the benefit of the doubt without actually basing off reviews. This is the truth. We got our taxes done by Russell Purkey - who is the son of Michael Purkey (A father and son duo). After having everything put together to prep for this tax return - to make it easy for the accountant; Russell didn't take the packet that I had prepped which I thought was very odd. Usually, accountants take everything so when they need to retrieve information, it is all there! Instead, he took down notes but not EVERYTHING! After receiving our tax return just yesterday, we were both shocked from what was received by things not added on correctly or tax EIN weren't input as they should be. Also, we ended up owning $15k. WOW! Not to mentioned, my husband was under the impression that the cost would be much cheaper but Russell was charging high. PLEASE, get everything in writing when doing business with this company. I see red flags everywhere!! I had to call a few CPAs today and they all say that they get all of client's info regarding taxes and now we are having to get a second opinion because this didn't seat well with me at all. Also, I called the Purkey & Laughlin Tax & Accounting this morning; which Russell doesn't have an extension number or name to direct my voicemail to. So, in return I left the voicemail to Michael. My concerns were valid and obviously of urgency; which I waited 4 hours before having to call back again and ended up speaking with Michael on the phone because Russell was apparently busy and hard to reach. Apparently, they can't do anything about it to fix this. It was obvious that Michael was trying to protect his son Russell and not hold him accountable and make an excuse saying bad communication between my husband and Russell. This company is unprofessional and not to my standard of how it should be. Please do your research and find a reputable CPA that will get the job done right!!

    Daveed and his team at Anvil Tax have been helping my company with taxes since 2015. As a small…read morebusiness owner with a rapidly growing company, I was unsure of how to handle the different taxes for operating in multiple states. Daveed's team helps me monitor my finances monthly, and their expertise has been invaluable. Daveed is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in many areas of my business, including succession planning strategies. When I first came to him, I had numerous letters from the state and IRS that I didn't know how to handle. I was unsure, confused, and completely out of my element. Dealing with taxes and finances was nerve-wracking, but now, I am confident in my finances and the direction we are headed after our monthly meetings. Since Daveed is an ex-IRS auditor, he knows exactly how to protect your business in an honest and professional way. If you want your taxes done right by someone who is very informed and knowledgeable, this is your team. It's easy as a small business owner to avoid and overlook tax letters, but although Daveed and his team are extremely helpful and give you the advice to follow, it is your duty as the business owner to handle your responsibilities. Anyone who has left a poor review for Daveed likely did not follow the advice given, because my business has grown and become more protected over the years by following their advice. There are so many moving pieces when it comes to running a business, and having Daveed and his team deeply involved in my financial decisions brings me peace of mind. I am so grateful for their team and wouldn't take my business anywhere else. They assist me with taxes, bookkeeping, and financial analysis and planning. If you're looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable finance team, I highly recommend Anvil Tax!

    I'm so glad to have met Daveed, he is an ex-IRS agent and expert tax strategist with Anvil Tax…read more I've had the pleasure of collaborating with him for a while now on various projects. I'm so grateful to have someone I trust that I can send my clients to for all their tax needs. I highly recommend him, he's rather brilliant and cares deeply about people. Daveed is easy to work with and truly wants to see businesses succeed!
