Disappointing customer service, major misunderstanding of what professionalism is, and the consistency of poor quality.

David Caplan, CPA

David Caplan was, to us, an undiscovered gem. Our family was with another accountant for 40 years…read morebut switched to David after her death. His work is a revelation--moderately complicated taxes can be done in an afternoon, at your home, and affordably. He's knowledgeable and personable. A family member selling her home didn't believe that the common purchasing tool the buyers requested (a "seller's assist") was not some kind of scam and refused to accept their offer until she had talked to David. He explained how common the assist is and how it does not affect one's taxes, and she relaxed enough to go ahead with the sale. (Of course, she then told her own real estate agents she didn't trust them, but that she trusted David implicitly. And he does seem worthy of that trust!) We haven't seen his hilarious tax-time letters (referenced by another yelper), but we hope to find one in the mailbox one day. Maybe we need to be just a little delinquent so he'll feel obligated to send us one.

When it comes to money, I am completely useless (except for spending it - I excel in that field)…read more So it's no surprise that the simple thought of tax time sends me into a state of mind that makes Britney Spears look sane. Luckily I have David Caplan to take care of business for me. David is extremely knowledgeable about all things fiscal (he's a deductions wizard) and he's honest and reliable. But perhaps my favorite thing about him are the hilarious tax-time letters he sends out - this dude has a wicked sense of humor! His fees are very reasonable and he'll hold your hand if you need him to, which is perfect for a financial idiot like myself. Having him as my accountant for the past 5 years (many of them as a freelancer) almost makes me look forward to April 15. Almost.

Working with Brown's fulfillment consultation & accounting firm was the the best decision I could…read morehave made for my business. She was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very personable. When I first walked into her office I felt extremely overwhelmed with the process of keeping my business's finical information organized, but I left feeling confident and reassured that everything was in the best hands possible.

Would not recommend after meeting with Tara M. For my 2023…read moretax return Rose was great to work with, where she explained things in detail. Value was comparable to other accountants. Though I had many recommendations and referrals for other accountants, I chose to work with Rose because I chose to specifically support a woman and minority owned business. One piece of advice from Erin Benzakein from Floret about hiring a bookkeeper and accountant was that if you feel dumb or awful after meeting with either, then it's time for you to hire a new accountant/bookkeeper. I was having a hard time managing my own bookkeeping and was inquiring about this service. I met with Tara and she was condescending, defensive, and was gaslighting me when I started crying on the call after she went on a diatribe about the importance of bookkeeping. I also disagreed with her statement that "Bookkeeping is the backbone of your business." Unfortunately, Rose was also on the call and there wasn't any intervention. I would recommend Rose Brown only if you were just working with her and Darin, but would stay away if you are on a call with Tara.
