I called in in need of my payroll taxes reduced as I knew I was paying too much per paycheck. I was booked for an appointment super quick., Madina realized I'm in Maryland and opted to do a virtual meeting. She actually gave me a great discount and the price was way below what I thought I would pay. They advised it would be $55 for 15 mins. They stuck to exactly what they promised. In addition, I had quite a few follow-up questions and some adjustments had to be made after my initial virtual meeting. They didn't inconvenience me by making me meet again, Madina got things taken care of and only called me to advise that my questions were resolved. She offered to meet again for free if I wanted to speak to the CPA again. I was not ever charged for additional work or time to re-review the questions I had. They fixed every single concern/issue. My payroll taxes are now reduced. I'm thrilled and grateful for the outcome of using this CPA company.The best part, Madina did it with the most gracious and kind attitude. Kindness is for sure her super power. I would recommend this company 10 times over! If you're thinking about using this company, reach out to Madina!!! She will get you taken care of promptly, kindly, and handle all of your needs/concerns without missing a beat.

During my first appointment with Make my Day I was met initially with an the CPA's assistant who…read moretook all my forms (which they had asked for) and talked to me for some time. This was weird because over the phone the appointment was said to be made with the CPA herself. So just be sure when you make an appointment that you know who it's with and what will occur. The assistant after looking at all my tax papers gave me a quote for $350- 375, then a quote for $450- 475, then a quote for $550- 575, then was told that I would you would need to charge by the hour to look at one thing. I'm a small business owner, and they advertise specializing in small bushiness, so I'm not really understanding that why I would need to pay her to research something like that. For each increase in price I was told that it was because she didn't notice that my taxes would require "additional work" in certain areas. She gave me the first quote after looking at all of my papers and no new information was provided the first quote to the then open ended quote of apparently I'm guessing $550 + hourly, but we don't know how many hours? Not a great way to run a business in my opinion. I liked the CPA but when it comes down to it they're going to have to run their business like a business- they can't increase the price 4 times during a meeting. They should be able to read the forms, ask some questions, give an estimate. (Edit: I don't have a ton of "issues" as the buisness owner below says, I'm just a small business owner. In fact the first increase was because "they didn't know they needed a schedule c" even I know that and I wasn't pressuring them for a quick estimate, I was happy to answer any questions). Also, the office setting is not professional. It has a really bare bones feeling. We met in the lobby (I would a private setting) and sofa was super uncomfortable, painfully so. They say that people can come in and DIY taxes with someone helping to answer questions but the little cubicles were totally empty while I was in the office- probably because this DIY area had absolutely nothing to offer- they didn't even have coffee! How can someone focus on taxes without coffee!!? (Edit: yes I brought the end of my coffee at first but did need more and didn't know they had any- I couldn't see it, I did look for it).

I give them my tax information in a spreadsheet 6-8 weeks prior to tax day and when do they get around to starting my taxes? On tax day.

This was a very disappointing experience. Mike and his team were recommended by our financial…read moreconsultant and were highly regarded. But the whole experience was unprofessional and ultimately unhelpful when it came to doing our actual taxes. First, I didn't hear anything from them for a couple of weeks after our initial meeting. It required me following up to get an update. And then I had specifically asked for a heads up on whether we were likely to owe any taxes, since we were self-employed the past year and unclear whether we were paying sufficient estimated taxes. In the end, I got a response a couple of days before taxes were due to be filed with a report that we $12K in taxes. There was a potential to open an IRA to lowering our tax liability but with no guidance on how to do that and only 2 days to spare we just paid the bill. I would not recommend working with these folks. They seem like nice enough people but were either overwhelmed this tax season or understaffed. Either way, that exactly what you count on a tax account to be prepared for and they clearly failed.

I searched for YEARS to find that needle-in-a-haystack relationship--- an expert who has in depth expertise of all the ins & outs of local & federal tax code, as well as has a personal touch & is always looking out for each client's best interest.

Mike is a machine. If you want someone who will proactively make suggestions & is an invaluable resource, then Finesse is absolutely who you need to use.

Original review from 2016: Wendroff & Associates has been…read moredoing our personal and business taxes since 2009, and I consider them to be truly outstanding. They are detail-oriented, fast and friendly. I have complete confidence that we're getting the best advice on tax savings. I've never been disappointed in the refunds that we've received under Wendroff's care (in fact I know that they've saved us a lot of money, because we've had not so good CPAs in the past!), but I also have found the firm to be reassuringly conservative in its interpretation of the tax code. More than anything else, Jay and I have come to consider Brian a part of the family. He's been enormously generous with his time, and has given us boundless advice on organizing our accounting, setting up payroll, maximizing tax savings, and the like. He's also bent over backwards time and again when we've been under the gun. We're buying a house on short notice and had to ask him to write a letter to our mortgage broker at 9pm last night - on a Sunday evening - and he was on the phone with us at 9am this Monday morning getting it done. Our broker had the letter in hand by noon. That sort of support is really incredible and so hard to find. I really cannot recommend this firm more highly! I trust them so much that I even recommended Wendroff and Associates to my boss when he was in need of an accountant - and he came into my office two weeks later to say that he owed me one, because Brian had refiled his returns and managed to save him $6,000 that the prior CPA had overlooked! ;-) Update in July 2021: Just wanted to note that Wendroff is still doing our taxes and we're really happy with them!

New client - Had a scheduled call with Darren Wendroff "Director of Communications" LOL For being a "Communications Director" from the beginning of the call, he treated me very arrogantly as if he was doing me a favor. He said to me that he didn't have much time as if he was doing me a favor, I tried to give him all the information I know and could, he then replied with a high tone... If you don't give me accurate information, I cannot give you a quote , pretty interesting introduction to this firm Wendroff & Associates to a new client, if they are willing to treat you in that manner in a introduction, I can only imagine how they will treat you if you have a need, emergency or concern. I politely said to Darren Wendroff "Director of Communications" LOL, that he didn't need to be rude to me and speak in that manner to me... He got quiet and hung up on me - GOOD LUCK if you go with this firm.
