I've been using TurboTax for as long as I can remember. This year I had a unique financial…read moresituation, so I decided to hire somebody who could lessen the degree to which I got screwed on my taxes. Paul was perfect for me. I did not want to drive up to Vancouver. So we did everything by phone/zoom & electronically. Here is his process: I called Paul at a designated time, and we chatted for a bit. He then asked me some questions, and directed me to his online platform. Paul's tax prep "organizer" is awesome. Many of the same questions from our phone call were reiterated and then documentation for my answers requested immediately below. It made the process easy to understand and I could do it in bite-sized chunks. There is also a spot just to the right where you can see the full array of everything you've loaded so you don't have to scroll and peck to discover if you remembered to load a particular document. After I finished, I notified him and he came back with information that enabled me to save more on my return. Actually, that one piece of info ended up saving me a lot. Our wrap up zoom conversation was instructive and pleasant. Paul has the heart of a teacher, and he took me through the process step by step so I could see how all the calculations panned out. He also gave me information that will help for next year. I totally loved working with him and will absolutely recommend him to my friends.

After our long-time tax preparer passed away last year, we needed to find a good replacement. I was…read morevery glad we were referred to this business and Susan L. became our new tax professional! Susan is thoroughly knowledgeable, especially on the tax changes effective in 2018. She found a new tax credit that my previous preparer had missed (of over $1,000) on the prior tax year. This was extremely helpful to us, since we had tax due for the current year. Additionally, this business has the capability to set up a secure portal for their clients to submit tax doc's electronically. And their preparation rates are very reasonable, as well!! We found NW Accounting & Tax Service friendly, proficient and cost effective! Would highly recommend.

So this is the first year I owned a business (LLC) and was looking to get help and hopefully find…read morean accountant for the future. Now I'll be the first to say, I'm pretty lost with profit/losses and book keeping, as I said it's my first time. For the past 8 years I've just used TurboTax for personal, but as I said, first time with a business. Initially you talk with someone over a chat, they ask you questions and you answer them and send them forms. They said they could do my profit/losses for me for about $75 extra, I was fine with it, figured it was worth learning how to do it. Took about a month but finally had my appointment to talk over video (30min). They were 6min late and obviously very tired. I truly felt bad for Yuliya as she seemed so exhausted. We spent the first 18min looking at the Dept. of Washington tax site and she was showing me how to fix my prior quarterly tax filings because she felt I had labeled my business incorrectly. After I showed her what I was doing, she changed her mind and said "I think you're actually fine and doing it right". So that left us 6 minutes to rush through my tax return before her next appointment. In the end I spent $350 to save $3 (the difference in number between what I got in TurboTax vs. having it done by Nationwide). For me, if I would have learned something about better tax reporting for the LLC, it would have been worth it. But it just felt very rushed, very impersonal and honestly I'd rather just go back to doing it myself.

I was referred to Teresa from my sister. I was in a terrible position with a previous bookkeeper…read morewho messed up my books for two years badly. I was so happy when I reached out because Teresa is in another state. She was so easy and comforting. She is a forensic accountant so she knows how to analyze accounts. She went in and fixed all of the mistakes of the previous bookkeeper. The last bookkeeper deleted files, deleted clients, transferred stuff to different software and made duplicate mistakes and left out many transactions. After Teresa showed me the digital footprint of what this lady had done I was very upset. The lady was caught and had to repay me the thousands of dollars she charged me. Then Teresa went back and re-filled my taxes for 2015 the correct way and we received a refund as a result. Teresa is ethical and honest. She explains all the tax laws in a way that is easy to understand. I highly reccomend Simple Sums Accounting for all your accounting needs!
