I called back because it was quite rude of her and she then said they aren't taking new customers so I returned the same level of customer service she gave me. I will make it my life's mission to tell folks to avoid this place just based on how rude someone is to a new potential customer!

I tried a couple of questions and got blank looks. The intern's supervisor asked when the intern's class started and she said, with a panicked look, "in 10 minutes". She was on Federal Street. I paid $200 for 10 minutes of stapling and collating information that is on any computer. Go elsewhere is my advise.

I recently engaged Melanson for a project and found the service to be extremely unprofessional…read more From the point the filing was sent to me for my review, the CPA mysteriously became unavailable to discuss the filing by phone. Sending my questions by email was like sending them down a black hole. I only got a response after weeks and repeated emails with my questions. These reluctant responses caused me much frustration and wasted much of my time trying to understand the numbers in the filing. I frankly still have several open questions that I did not pursue because communication with the CPA is like having your teeth pulled. Upon my questioning, a supporting spreadsheet was finally restated. I find this corrected spreadsheet cryptic and elusive, specifically with an added item labeled "unidentified". No further explanation was provided. I highly recommend Melanson ... for your next vacation in space. You'll not be disappointed with the black holes that consume your communications and unidentified objects that litter the documents. For a tax filing, I prefer someone more transparent, accessible and responsive.

There was a great tax preparer here who understood my complex needs, he evenmet me a few times…read morewithout charging about other matters that I wanted guidance on. For a few years the new manager would constantly try to assign me or my wife to other preparers, my wife falling for it the last two years. On top of this they send "please confirm" text, emails and calls for weeks outside the date, some happening daily. It was harassing. I stopped responding to them and I ended up getting a call from the manager and I told her that I had confirmed a few times but they kept coming and I finally contacted my tax preparer directly who said yes its all set, no worries, (fearing I was going to be scheduled with someone else). The manager said ok, yeah sorry, you are all set with your guy on Sunday. So I showed up, only to be told I was working with Chris, who doesn't know me or my situation, and my guy had left. No one thought that it was important to contact me after the guy who had been doing my taxes for 10 years was no longer working. This place sucks, expensive if you have complicated taxes. I never liked going there, only liked my guy.
