I write this review to give fair warning to future customers. We used Medows CPA for three years…read more It was a very up and down experience. Over the past three years, Medows put more preparation burden on his customers (requiring completion of lengthy, convoluted forms which I've never had to prepare for a tax PREPARER before), while complaining that our taxes took a long time to complete. We had to check their work for errors. We learned to expect inaccurate answers and incomplete research when we did have questions - and often completed the research ourselves. He was very helpful when we had a shift in our income/expenditure situation three years ago. Hence two stars. But then our taxes got very simple for two years in a row. A few months ago, I asked for an itemized bill for last year's expenses and/or a fair estimate for this year's work. I was told we were too much work, and it wasn't worth his time to retain us as customers - no answer, no transparency. This is probably par for the course in tax preparation, and there's nothing particularly bad about this service. But there's nothing particularly good either. We'll spend as much time preparing our own taxes this year as we did preparing and checking Medows' work last year, and we'll save $335. For even mildly intrepid souls, I recommend using a tax accountant only when you have a big change in financial circumstances, and in between just use TaxAct.com and a couple of calls to the IRS. It's really not that hard.

When filing as a freelancer on 1040ES, you're supposed to pay quarterly estimates. Repeatedly over the 3 years I used Marc, he told me as long as I paid ALL of the estimated taxes by the final due date as opposed to quarters, I'd be ok and not be fined. Well I'm sitting here at 3 years since using Marc and now I have received fines from the IRS for 2 of the years I used his services. Luckily I've switched to someone else who told me I should 100% be paying quarterly and no fines so far. And also saving a couple hundred on prep costs. I cannot recommend Marc's tax prep services for this reason. If you're cutting corners on taxes it'll end up costing you in the end. I gave Marc an extra star just because he was a nice and pleasant guy but fines speak louder.

According to this reputable tax service, I was guaranteed audit protection. The mainstream company did not submit my information correctly, and as a result, I was audited by the IRS.

The GI Tax Advisor were on top of everything and made notes of when they attempted to speak with federal and state tax entities on my behalf. I now live in CA and still use GI Tax Advisory because they are honest, diligent, and really made a difference in relieving so much stress. They are also immigrant friendly and speak Spanish.

I had a very poor experience with this company. I reached out two weeks ago to see if they were…read moreavailable to do my taxes. I got a prompt response that they could and to send my w2s and any other pertinent information which I did, and for two weeks got the run around. I made countless calls and emails trying to just get confirmation that the taxes would be handled and filed with no response. I had countless conversations w their assistant and was told each time that my call would be returned, but it never was. I finally gave up and went with another company. When I emailed the accountant to let them know I did not need or want his services he responded immediately with an excuse and had the nerve to say he could still file my taxes (a day before the deadline). This behavior is absolutely reckless and unprofessional and shouldn't be tolerated w such sensitive and personal information and such an important issue. They're messing with people's lives and run the risk of making people have to file for an extension and accrue penalties. If you can't take on a customer and are overloaded then let them know so they can make other arrangements instead of stringing them along. This is no way to treat a customer.

I started working with Robert P. Russo, CPA, PC in regard to my 2018 income tax filing. I had been using another firm who had created a huge problem for me both personally and for my business. Most of my contact was with Bob, Claire & Susy and they were able to make the necessary corrections to get me and my company back on track. Throughout 2019 I have maintained contact with this firm and convinced that not only my past issues totally resolved but that we also have taken the appropriate action to avoid any potential future problems. I sleep a lot better knowing that both my personal and business tax & accounting information are being handled professionally by true knowable and professional people. I would highly recommend using this firm.

First, the front desk & whoever answers the phone we're so friendly but when I met Robert he turned me down before even looking at my tax return. Stating "I don't want to take your money". I assume he has a fair thought process for this but it didn't come across that way. He said my tax return wasn't too complex. I appreciate his honesty but I'd remind him that I made a trip to his office & you should always treat everyone with some level of respect. Not quite sure what he was using as an indicator to not take me on as a client but I've never heard of a CPA firm making someone feel like I was wasting "their" time. Mind you, he still has no clue what my 2017 take home was. WTH is that. Can't help but think he prejudged me. Matter of a fact he recorded I use Turbo Tax. Wow. My advice to Robert is to commit the time you promise, 1hr, look at a person's return to understand their taxes, & let them come to a final conclusion if they would like to pay to your fee. Otherwise you have people like myself confused as to how you made your assessment that I wasn't worth taking on. News flash my demographic is the new future "hypos" of the world...do your research on the word & demographic. I am disappointed.

Ely is SO SMART and was so kind and patient with my mom. He knew the right questions to ask even when she was not necessarily familiar with the implications of everything. This made a huge impression on me because New York can be a very rough place for senior citizens and I feel like he treated my mom as if she was his own. He also offered some very helpful suggestions to both of us for some investment planning. Ely knows the tax code inside and out and looks at the big picture for the financial health of each of his clients. I've been using that Brooklyn accountant for 20 years now and my taxes are somewhat complicated but I will be giving my business to Ely going forward. Ely is a very ethical man and he has made a positive change in our lives.
