In fact, as this business has moved and expanded I decided to stay with the company due to the level of service. Have there been a few bumps? Sure, but mostly do to ramping up new people. Even as the economy has tanked and I have gone through my ups and downs Zulch, Inc has worked with me on reducing debt and making sure my taxes have been up-to-date and taken care of immediately. I have recommended Zulch, Inc to numerous folks who have stayed on year over year.

Hello, I've been…read moreworking w/ Kevin Zulch in a professional capacity for over 10 years. I have been a Small Business Consultant for both Wholesale Design Companies & Fashion & Gift Retail Stores. While I am capable of almost all financial guidelines for these types of businesses, I am nowhere near being an accountant. I can set up systems for business to track expenses, categorize them, produce P&L's, etc, but really have no idea what to depreciate, how to handle the tax needs of various independent business owners setup in different tax situations (LLC's, S-Corps, Sole Proprietors) Etc. This is where Kevin comes to the rescue. I have had both difficult & easy clients (personality wise); Kevin was able to handle both w/ professional aplomb. As well, all of my clients had needs very particular to the Wholesale/Retail Industries, with many difficult to track overlaps between their personal & and professional financial lives. Kevin was able to sort out all their knotted, tangled situations, satisfy me, my clients & produce accurate & helpful tax filings. I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to anyone for either personal or professional needs. My only caveat would be to act quickly ~ his business is popular & growing & the sooner you begin working w/ him, the sooner you tax worries & headaches will go away. I would also like to add that over the years I've had my own share of financial questions I needed help w/ that were very personal (deaths in the family, medical troubles, etc): Kevin is extremely easy to talk to, nothing shakes him & he is impeccably respectful & circumspect regarding all conversation.

In the AM on 04/17- the last day to file, staff called panicked because the IP number was not included on the 1040. IP numbers are issued by IRS when identity theft occurs. In prior years IRS sends a new number. This year however, no number was sent, leaving me with the conclusion after 4 years, an IP number was no longer required. WRONG! Merck couldn't file the 1040 sans an IP. Merck knew that for the past 4 years an IP was included in all IRS tax forms; they did not raise the issue with me and proceeded in the absence of (a) finding out if an IP had been waived or (b) needed to issue. On the LAST DAY, Merck support staff ( not Shumen or another CPA) contacted me, panicked and with no idea whatsoever as to what to do. What the hell did I know!!! That's why M&S was hired! I spent over 11/2 hour trying to track down what needed doing. Of course no CPA was in the office including the fellow who prepared the papers. Well, I got the info, filed for a new # and then had to notify the staff. To add insult to injury, the check sent (thinking all had been filed, silly me) was never cashed!!!! Really incompetent. I will NEVER use them again and suggest others find another firm. It appears M&S didn't follow through, had incomplete info and almost set me up for a late filing fee.
