This was my first time using Ray for my kind of complicated tax prep, but I'm coming back every…read moreyear from now on! This is a family business: Ray does the prep, his wife (of 49 years!) does scheduling, and his adult grandson and wife assist in the practice. The office is filled with family travel photos and mementos, and small things to make customers feel well served and welcome: water bottles and soda are on the customers' side of the desk, with candy, phone charging cords, and pads and pens. I got a rubber jar opener that Ray gave out last year - his 30th anniversary client gift because I didn't get one then (not being a client). It's in a strip mall on the corner of Newport Ave and Beverage Hill and does t look that reassuring from the outside - but inside is a caring, professional, and friendly group of tax experts. As we sat doing my taxes, about 10 people came in one at a time to drop off, pick up, or ask questions about their tax forms (and one who needed to do amended forms for late W-2s). Grandson Austin handled most of them independently, but was very discreet when he needed quick info from the expert. Ray saved mea SERIOUS amount over last year's federal tax bill (by finding deductions TurboTax - and the CPA we used before last year - didn't offer/explain, at about half the fee I would have paid either of them). He also helped me learn how to pre-pay state taxes to lower my sticker shock next year: I'll always owe RI because my husband's MA pension isn't taxed by MA when it's paid but it's considered fully taxable income in RI. Ouch. Helping me avoid another huge bill next August? Thank you, Ray! Call early for 2026 - they cannot accept any more new clients this year. I'm so lucky I made the call to Ray Therrien when I did!

We need needed a consultation about a business venture we were about to start. I emailed Nikki and…read moreshe answered back quickly, and got us in within the same week. The office was in a charming historic building in down town Providence. Everything from the hallways to the elevator to the pendulum clock in the office just reminds of a more classical time in the history of Providence, perhaps a better time. Nikki is very kind and welcoming. She has a positive attitude. We sat with her and her father, Larry. They know how to ask all the right questions and they gave us a detailed and thorough consultation. I was really impressed with their professionalism. Best of all, the consultation was FREE! And here is how I know Nikki and Larry are trustworthy. They advised us against a specific business plan and showed us its shortcomings, although they could have made lots of money doing the paperwork for us. This shows integrity. Larry showed me how to do a simple task at city hall that would cost me a mere $10 instead of something that would have cost around $1000 a year. Give them a try and judge for yourself!

After spending way too many hours on the phone with TurboTax over the past few years (and talking…read morewith way too many different TT people giving me different advice), I FINALLY found a local CPA to do my taxes - all without any hassle. And, it cost me less than TurboTax! Very thankful for Ed and Gary - if I didn't get in touch with them on the phone I would leave a message and I always got a call back in a reasonable time and were always professional.

Extremely disappointed in the service received. If I could rate a 0 star I would. Fact is this man…read moredid NOT file my taxes and has refused to respond in any way shape or form to both myself and my wife. After spending an evening at Ed's office we were extremely pleased and confident that we made a good choice but as time went on that took a sharp turn into a ditch. Everyone makes bad choices in business, but for my first year I made the worst - by choosing this CPA. My first year married, and my first year in business has been left in the hands of a man who has not responded and has left me no choice but to contact the IRS explain the situation. Thanks buddy, hope you're having fun hiking in the White Mountains because "it's so slow in the summer"! No sweat off your back, right?

Ann Lavallee is BY FAR the BEST tax preparation lady you will find in this field. She has been…read moretaking care of my WHOLE family and 95% of her offices' clients. She gets 5 reviews based on her professionalism, performance and skills. Ann has over 40+ years in this field. This year alone, when I expected to OWE $12,000 to the IRS, I was delighted to find that no, I was actually receiving close to $11,000 BACK!!! I was stoked! Now, obviously every ones situation is not the same and she can't promise this dollar amount for everyone, she does promise that she will find you every single penny that you deserve back, every write off possible and everything you deserve and worked hard for! She also does "look backs." By "look backs" I mean, she checks out past years returns for you and sees if you may have missed out on any deductions or missed money that you are entitled to! If I'm not mistaken I do not think she charges anything for look backs if you just want her services for that?! Reach out to her to confirm that though. I just can't say enough good things about her. Definitely reach out to her and send her a message if you want the best of the best on your side. Trust me, you definitely will become a repeat customer.

The receptionist is friendly and made scheduling my appointments quite easy and hassle free. the new location still has ample parking and a decent sized waiting area with a complimentary coffee and water station. The staff were polite and friendly but I will admit it was a drag to see all of the former staff are gone. the crew at the former location were very experienced and knowledgeable about all things relating to taxes. they always made you feel welcomed and that you were a valuables customer. the new crew definitely make you feel more like a number and it was far less personable. My tax professional did a good job but I was charged an absurd amount of money for 30 minutes of service. I also got the poo face twice when I declined additional services that I wouldn't need. I don't regret giving them the business this year but I doubt I'll be a returning customer next year.
