With a quick consultation and wave of her magic wand our business bookkeeping went from a yearly headache (because let's face it, that's about how often we were actually buckling down to deal with the shoebox) to a monthly organized dream! With this part of the business taken care of by a true professional we have a bit more time to deal with the day-to-day business. Mary is very patient and easy to work with. We have managed to do everything with her over the phone and email for the past 3+ years now. She is affordable and will take at least one thing off your plate!

He was charging us almost $1,000 for his services. He was arrogant and he made me feel like I was an idiot when I asked certain questions.

We have now been back with Kathy & AAA for the last 3 years and couldn't be happier. Kathy and her staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They offer free advice throughout the year and are always available to answer my questions and they seem to really value me as their client. I would highly recommend them. I will never use anyone else.

I used Ross | Carreiro | Brown CPAs for tax preparation and advisory services. In June 2025 I paid…read more$1,933.59 in person to close my account before relocating out of state and was explicitly told my balance was paid in FULL. Two months later, I was contacted and told I owed more money. The balance then changed multiple times -- first I was told $800. Then, AFTER a "50% discount," I was told the amount owed was $1,193! There was no clear or coherent explanation. Invoices issued months later included "Income Tax Return" charges despite my prior payment and being told the account was closed, making the billing appear retroactive and inconsistent. Communication was slow and unreliable despite repeated follow-ups. I was told the head CPA, George, would get back to me about my billing dispute once he was back from vacation. Two months went by before I reached out again and heard anything. I made a reasonable, good-faith offer to resolve the matter if a final invoice confirming no remaining balance was issued. That never happened. Instead, billing continued, including yet another invoice sent in January 2026. Their billing practices are confusing, delayed, and poorly managed. I would avoid them, but if you don't, I strongly caution you to scrutinize invoices carefully and not assume that being told an account is "paid in full" actually ends billing. Document everything. This was not a good experience - on top of their already exorbitant fees.

She goes above and beyond to help. After my accountant of 35 years retired, I met with a lot of firms, and I wasn't very impressed. After meeting with George, I knew I found the right fit. Taxes are stressful, and very personal. It's refreshing to have a staff of intelligent experience people helping you with your filing. I would highly recommend this firm.
