Numbers Crunchers gets the job done. Nothing fancy, but why should it be?…read more Once upon a time I was able to navigate the tax form quagmire on my own until that first time I found myself keeping a dictionary nearby to look up a common English word in the hopes there was some obscure definition that when the word was used in that context, would unlock the madness. Who writes these forms anyway? Thanks Torquemada. A twisted version of your legacy lives on. Number Crunchers is a one-woman shop, or perhaps a one-family shop might be a more apropos description. Melody, the boss, does the tax returns, but is assisted by the accountants (who are likely CPAs by now) who also happen to be family, or soon-to-be-family. When you walk in, the first person you'll see might be her husband/office manager. Numbers Crunchers is thorough, delivers the work when promised, and because it's a small business, will only accept a certain number of clients in order to be certain to deliver the best service. Like most things in NC, Numbers Crunchers is higher in price than its counterparts from other states in my experience, but compared with other tax preparers in the area, Numbers Crunchers pricing is reasonable and there won't be any hidden charges for the basic tax returns.

Number Crunchers, specifically Melody, has been friendly, professional and available for both…read moreasking and answering any questions I have. I have used her services since 2013 and she has been nothing but helpful. My former accountant got me audited by the IRS in 2011 and 2013 due to silly mistakes. She fixed the errors. Since switching to Numbers Cruncher and I've never had another "visit". Melody's skills allows me to sleep at night. Hope she never retires.

Grateful they didn't assist me so I can work with someone who wants to work with us and not settle for convenience just because they are down the street from our home. Don't take the review for face value please give them a try to experience their customer service yourself. Maybe they are the perfect fit for you. Disclaimer this is not saying this a bad company but it definitely was a bad experience with one person. The rest of her co workers can be incredible including her. Feedback don't be a respecter of persons and if you not taking customers which is really understandable in this industry to not be overwhelmed just have recommendations to be of assistance to those you can't help. This will leave a great impression on someone and may benefit your life business and perspective in general.

I used to spend hours trying to make the DIY tax software work for me and now I'm able to spend a few minutes sending over my documents and Bob handles the rest!

Bob even managed to find us a refund due to new tax laws! I highly recommend Bob at Cary Tax to anyone who wants a pain free way to do taxes!

By tax season, he had forgotten everything and wrongly accused me of not actually starting my business. His errors nearly cost me $30K--had I not sought a second opinion, which led to a refund. He also botched my personal return, failing to account for a significant portion of my income. When I pointed it out, his firm blamed me for providing "nonstandard income documents"--even though I gave him exactly what he requested. Throughout the process, he treated me with mistrust and skepticism about my income level. The experience was frustrating and disheartening. Beware.

We moved back to the west coast and are in search of another CPA, and nobody can compare to him. He was able to handle our taxes for multiple income properties on top of our regular jobs and maximize our return.

It was affecting our lives and our relationship. With Lauren's help, we caught up quickly last year, and now we're completely on track--this season, we even filed our taxes early! It feels miraculous--truly a great gift. Lauren brings a remarkable blend of professional excellence and genuine humanity to her work. She is dedicated, trustworthy, and maintains great boundaries while fully supporting our goals. I never once felt judged or invalidated--and I am sensitive to such things. I couldn't recommend Lauren more highly. I'm so thankful we found her.

For those of you who contacted this professional and received great service, you got lucky. I…read morecalled this morning and they told me they would not be able to assist me even though according to their website they should have been able to. I called with a bright chipper hello after reading great things about the business online, but the person answering the phone (Kayla) adamantly told me they would not assist me without even providing a consultation. It was a weird experience. Here is a quote from their website, "We offer a free consultation where we listen to your tax issue with compassion in a judgment-free atmosphere. We understand life happens and that sometimes tax issues are part of the journey!" The person who answered my call would not listen to my tax issue. I told her that the website indicated they provide consultations, but she told me she did not know what I was talking about and that they would not be able to help me. Oh well, I will move on to someone else. They may not be lacking for business, but at least they could provide the basics to a potential client by listening to their issue and determining if they could assist. Wow, my experience with this business was unnecessarily unpleasant. Oh well. I just thought everyone else should know just in case they have a good, bad, or other experience with this business. They certainly made a bad first impression on me (I read the reviews prior to reaching out and felt they would be a good fit for me).

They go above and beyond to maximize your refund and help plan for the future and give you confidence in your financial decision.
