I had a few unique life situations that could potentially have tax implications, so I started researching on Yelp to find the right professional. That's when I came across Scott (Modern Taxes) in the Henderson area. I spoke with Scott on the phone and explained my potential issues. He immediately made me feel at ease as he listened attentively. Before my appointment, he went over everything on the phone and ensured that he had all the necessary documents before arriving at his office. Scott's professionalism and knowledge of taxes made me feel comfortable and trustworthy. I almost immediately gained his confidence. He completed my taxes in a reasonable amount of time, and I'm definitely going to use Modern Taxes again in the future. read more

I realize Scott has many five-star reviews...the most recent being from 2023...I don't know if something has happened in the past few years, or if I just got the 'one bad apple' experience with him, but let me say, this experience has been super crappy. Scott was quick to set up one informational phone call, and with some prodding, getting back with a quote for taxes toward the end of 2025. He was, BTW, the only accountant from whom I obtained a quote who asked me to send documents via email, whereas everyone else had me send my documents via secure portal. When I wanted to meet in-person, we set an appt for late December, which we had to change to video (at my request b/c of family illness), and then, we were unable to do the video appt b/c his computer 'crashed.' So, another phone call...not great, especially when there were always sound issues, and I really wanted to meet with the person (or at least tele-meet) whomever was going to have their fingers in my pennies, but another phone call was to suffice. He was very informative and helpful, and we had a plan moving forward. I offered to pay for his time, which he said he would recoup later, when he did my taxes. By early Jan 2026, it was clear his firm was not going to do my company's bookkeeping (multiple emails confirm this point) b/c my current bank does not allow for third-party access, and I was to research my own payroll, as his company does not provide that service. However, there are multiple emails in Dec 2025 and Jan 2026 between us where 'follow up in spring 2026' is mentioned, where I say I want to utilize his services for taxes, and where he says his company would be 'happy to help' with my taxes. Fast forward to the third week in March 2026, I realize I haven't heard anything from him....I send up the smoke signal via email, and hear back today that 'business taxes were due last week' and that 'it's too late' for his firm to accept new clients. What the actual f*ck, dude? Even after sending previous emails, as above, he writes back they were to start bookkeeping for me in the spring (never true) and that I never followed up with sending him a final P & L statement (he never asked, in our Dec 2025 phone call or in any Dec 2025/Jan 2026 emails). He also said they can't hold spots for new clients from Jan to March. Of course, that makes sense...but not in light of our prior phone and email communications. He could've sent me an email, saying "I need your final P & L," if that's all he was waiting on...news flash--the phone and email work two ways. But, he never actually asked me for that document, or made clear he needed a different version from what I sent. Hard pass on any sort of recommendation, and I certainly won't ever consider using his services in the future. Honesty and integrity seem questionable, at least in this case. read more

We chose Modern Taxes (Scott) to do our taxes this year and it was a great decision! We were using the same tax accountant for the past 6 years but decided to look for a different accountant this year for personal reasons and choosing Scott was the right choice! Scott was very helpful, answered all our questions and was very patient with us! He went above and beyond with dropping us knowledge, and of course he did a great job with our taxes. Got us a great return (more than expected) and he even charged us cheaper than our previous accountant. Modern Taxes (Scott) will definitely continue to be our future tax account! read more

If you are looking for someone who can help you with taxes Modern Taxes, my go-to person for sure. I found Scott from getting price quotes from Yelps and because she was so professional, quick reply and transparent. After giving him brief info and all documents within a day my tax got done. (wow...so fast) During Covid 19 it was so hard to find someone who will give me this fast turnaround. Especially if you are a new customer to some particular business. In the past, I had called many places and no hope. Price is fair and he also helps submitted paperwork with certified mail so I can track with USPS since I did not file online due to my circumstances. I highly recommend and in the future, I will use Modern Taxes again! read more

Scott is exactly what I have been looking for in a bookkeeper and tax preparation. My grandmother used to do our books and she was not very helpful.

Excellent service. My husband and I were fed up with our old accountant after receiving no response numerous times. Scott is always quick to respond and provides clear and concise answers. Last year, we were thinking of purchasing new equipment and Scott was able to help us maximize our tax benefit when doing so. When it was time to file our taxes, he helped us elect to be an S-Corp and was able to guide us on additional tax deductions we had no idea about. Overall, while this was a large ordeal, this was the first year I felt better and at ease after filing my taxes. read more
