I hired Scott & Aderholt to do my taxes for my LLC. As a new business, and a first time LLC owner,…read moreI couldn't risk making any mistakes on my taxes by doing it myself. Kevin Aderholt was extremely thorough and not only did the filing for me, but also educated me on what I needed to do moving forward to remain in good standing with the IRS, as well as save the most money on taxes long term. As a small business owner, this gives me much needed peace of mind and it means that my taxes are one less thing I need to worry about since I know that I'm in great hands with Scott & Aderholt. I'm happy to say that I'm a Scott & Aderholt client for life, and I happily recommend them any chance I get.

She wanted to check whether I had received an email from Samantha so she gave me a name to search for. I found it so I pointed out that the email did not give any indication of a business response and I was waiting for a phone call, not an email as Sue had promised. This company has good intentions but poor communication issues. Dana seemed unaware that her folks could text so I pointed out that the text messages (through Yelp) had been flawless. I told Dana that I would upgrade my review from 1 to 3 because of her follow through. Dana waited a reasonable time before making a follow up call. She asked me if I got her emails and I said no so we did the search thing. I searched for her email and it came up "Executive Assistant". Talk about a spam flag! Sorry Dana, that's an email I would never open without an advanced "heads up" warning.

I have been a satisfied customer of this firm for years. However, everything changed this year when…read morethe accountant I had been working with passed away, and I was passed off to an incompetent accountant. Only when I found a huge mistake that accountant was in the process of making was I passed off again to one of their partners. The partner was rude, condescending, and arrogant. Frankly, I would tolerate her attitude if she was any good, but she's not. Her skill level is average--if that. Our return is simple. Yet, it baffled the staff accountant. The partner was overwhelmed and took her frustration out on me, complaining of having "782 returns to complete and not having had a vacation". Too bad, hire more staff, and get the returns done correctly and on time. Don't complain to me. I would not recommend this firm for several reasons. First, I wouldn't trust the competency of the staff. Second, I wouldn't assume your taxes were even being done, much less on time. Finally, their accounting staff will likely treat you disrespectfully and condescendingly.

They did my taxes last several years. Didn't get last year's in until November. Now, I am hearing…read morefrom the IRS that losses were mis-categorized and I have already had to pay back money on 2020, and now it looks like more for 2019 likely, but I can't be sure, because they took the returns off the smartvault. Noone responds to emails or phone calls. Paid extra for Audit protection, but no-one responds. At this point O might have to look into legal recourse. I can't be the only person scammed by these guys. Now, automatic reply on email states everyone resigned but Charles would return message within a week. It has been at least 2 weeks with no response and no phone or office to call. Charles sent out an email in February indicating he is moving on to be a speaker/ influencer.

His advice led us to open an Individual 401-K, which is a useful vehicle if you're a sole proprietor looking to sock away as much as possible into retirement. And last year, he coached me through the filing of a pension report form that, come to find out, almost no one has ever heard of. This is all to say that whether your tax situation is commonplace or exotic, Norm's got you covered. Oh, and he's a nice, easy going kind of chap. Since most people I know hate doing taxes, that kind of thing helps.

Taxes really aren't that sexy... and I'm definitely not getting paid -- Norm + his team are just so awesome, and this review is long overdue!)

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.

I am not in a creative field and have increasingly complicated personal taxes (blessing and curse)…read more Christy Hyche has worked with me to manage filing income tax returns to the Federal government, two states, and three municipalities over the years (like I said, complicated). Her attention to detail, depth of analysis, and responsiveness have enabled me to navigate through successfully. We have also done extensive modeling of future tax burden that has enabled me to proactively manage my tax exposure for 2014 and beyond. I don't know what I would have done if not for their help. The ability to do my own taxes passed me by, and they make it look easy.
