No matter how detailed our questions got, Chris had thoughtful answers and took the time to explain things every time. Chris genuinely made the process feel easy and stress-free.

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.

Welp. I'm updating my review because I wrote the review yesterday. She emailed me with the copy of…read morethe 2024 as I requested, but 12 hours after she said she sent it to me. (I checked my spam and mentioned that i will hadn't received it.) She was kind and considerate, until I said that I was at a wedding and couldn't respond. I am now pretty shaken about the exchange I had. You can judge for yourself if you want her for your CPA. I tried to delete my review, but I was met with an error message. To be clear, I never asked her for a refund for what I paid her for her services. I never said quoting a price was illegal. I'm not sure why she said that, honestly. I think people that receive a service should be paid in full, which I did. I wasn't trying to skirt out of any payment. I was going to edit my entire review. Instead, I'm trying to delete a review at almost 1 in the morning because of this exchange I received and it completely ruined my whole night and happy wedding/celebratory mood and replaced it with unnecessary stress because she wanted the review removed before 3am.

I've referred at least a dozen friends and family to James. At family/friend gatherings, when the conversation gets really enthralling and we start going deep on health insurance, we always talk about how great James is to work with.

We committed to working together, I felt they were unresponsive once we started uploading docs…read moreetc., and they then suddenly told us they'll no longer work with us with no explanation and didn't respond to any follow-up questions. We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

We have used BOL for two years and decided after last year it wasn't for us. The first year we had…read morean alright experience with Gary but weren't able to get comprehensive answers for the questions we had around real estate. The next year we were essentially assigned to someone else because who we saw previously was no longer accepting new clients...but we weren't new. Reaching whoever they assign you to work with is nearly impossible. After an initial apt weeks went by for very basic things and I was calling or emailing every few days in a panic as the deadline to file quickly approached. Eventually an extension had to be requested when all needed documents had been completed in Feb. The back and forth email and call correspondence was time consuming and ridiculous. We kept having to reach out to check the status and after weeks would get a response to schedule yet another appointment. Not personable, not friendly, poor communication. They likely take on too many clients because they care about profit over people.

Sadly, this place of business has really gone downhill. I am a client of 10 + years, I have in the…read morepast brought my complex taxes to them and they have been clever and quick. They are no longer either. In addition, they make calculation errors, trigger audits, pressure clients to file extensions, and then literally forget about filing. Then, when the IRS dings the client for not being timely due to this Liberty Taxes' errors, pressure to file extensions instead of file on time, and forgetfulness, LT doesn't take responsibility. This client has had to pay thousands of dollars more to the IRS due to LT calculation errors. In addition, I am being penalized by the IRS for nearly $30,000 for being late. Why have I continued with LT? Because I trusted they would right their wrong. But this year, they again made a filing error. They simply didn't read an email this client wrote on April 11 in which a direction was given to pay the IRS through this client's bank account on April 15. They ignored the direction, and expected me to pay by mail. Unfortunately, this client thought LT had followed through, so the IRS didn't get paid for 5 days. So that is another ding, another penalty. The 3rd penalty in 3 out of 4 tax years. Whoa. Today, I went in to sign an appeal letter to the IRS for the tax year I am being audited. The letter was written by AI. You guessed it, Liberty Tax was no where on the page. They left out how Liberty Tax had made a calculation error which triggered the audit in the first place. When I said I couldn't sign my name to a letter that wasn't entirely truthful, the LT guys questioned me, interrupted me, scoffed at me, literally turned their back on me, they wouldn't make eye contact. Intimidating. Rude. When that didn't work and I still refused to sign my name to this letter of appeal to the IRS to correct their wrong doing, they sent me away. "Do it yourself". Now I have to hire a tax attorney. That will be even more expensive. What a nightmare. I encourage folks to pause and think carefully before entrusting this Liberty Tax with your money. Take care.
