She gets all of our information sorted and organized and returns done on time, as well as 1099's for my contract folks. Even if I get things to her in the 11th hour (sorry about that, Trinae!) So if you are looking for solid accounting services by folks who are highly competent and also nice human beings, I recommend them whole heartedly.

What can I say about Margaret? First of all, she came highly recommended by a trusted friend, so I…read moreknew to expect good things. Margaret came in to help our company out during a very difficult time. The previous president had been let go, and I recently had to remove our CFO as well. Our books were a mess. We really didn't have any idea of what the real state of our finances and contracts were. We had failed an audit, and the systems we had in place had not prevented internal waste, fraud and abuse. Margaret quickly got our books in order, helped us find an internal bookkeeper that she trusted, put proper financial systems in place, and helped educate our board of directors on the status. She helped save our company. The bookkeeper she recommended is still with us 3-1/2 years later. Margaret continues to serve as an advisor for us, files our taxes, provides reports to our board, and facilitates our external audits. The negative review I saw on here does not make any sense. I wish I could give Margaret six stars for the work she's done. I highly recommend her.

Apparently the concept of a poor grad student is foreign to the US government. Margaret took it all in hand and not only took care of the meetings with the auditing agent, but she took a second look at my taxes for the year and found that I had overpaid. Armed with this, I was on cloud 9. I trust her with my taxes and everything else. Great person, great work, and one of the nicest people to talk to. I wouldn't want anyone else.

Layne helped us with our taxes for a couple of years. His services seemed to be on the expensive…read moreside, but my thought was that you get what you pay for. This year, Layne was helping me with my 2016 taxes. He provides a "Tax Planner" which you are required to fill out. The "Tax Planner" is a spreadsheet where all of the accounting work is done by you, and then his team only needs to input all of the information that you have already organized into the document. After filing an extension with the IRS to push out the April 15th deadline, Layne sent an email saying that he needed the Tax Planner to be completed by August 15th in order for him to complete our tax return by the Oct 16th IRS deadline. We completed the Tax Planner (which was all of the organizational and accounting heavy lifting to file our tax return for 2016) and turned everything in by August 11th (days before Layne's deadline). On Sept 25th (over a month after turning in our Tax planner and less than 3 weeks before the IRS deadline), we received an email stating that he will not be able to complete our 2016 tax return. The August 15th cut-off date was an estimate, and he just didn't have enough staff to get to our return. We were to pick up our documents at our earliest convenience. Layne decided that he did not have the time or resources to help us complete our tax return. But it took him over a month after we met his given deadline to reach that conclusion. I scrambled to find a new accountant who was not only able to complete my tax return in about an hour sitting with us and the tax planner we had completed, but the new accountant charged less than 1/5 of what Layne and his team had charged me for previous years. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but think it is important for both existing and potential clients who expect an accountant who has been in the business since 1985 to give reasonable estimates to know about this. Just because Layne agrees to take you on as a client, it doesn't necessarily mean he will complete the work.

We now have taxes that can result in paper trails up to an inch thick or more each year, and after reading on the internet that Egon specializes in gas and oil leases I was in. He had me fill in a large sheet of tax information to get started and then helped me fill in the blanks when I had questions or concerns. Egon is great at communication and works hard to make sure you get the tax deductions that you qualify for. I did some freelance work last year and he helped me to deduct my freelance expenses with no problem. His final paperwork post-return is organized and helpful for future tax years. Getting to his office is a bit of a potshot, as you have to watch the street numbers on Koenig very carefully and then turn in quickly to the driveway unsuited for 45mph turns and angry tailgating-in-the-right-lane drivers. However, his office is clean and comfortable once you get in. He's one of those guys that I imagine fitting in really well on A Prairie Home Companion tapings - tall, blond and stolid.
