Well, I'd love to be able to provide a more personal review - but the online screening process they have to set up an interview rejected me. After answering their questions I was told I wasn't a "fit" for them. Given the fact that I was looking for some pretty complicated S-Corp tax and transition issues (which I expected to pay for), the only reason I could have been rejected was (i) I didn't list enough income, or (ii) the computer automatically rejected it as too complex (?) Hmmmh, not feeling warm and fuzzy about the whole "relationship" vibe they promote. UPDATE: Wow, super fast response to initial review (1/2 hr, maybe). Wish I could do 3.5, or better yet, 4 (if they had actually reached out instead of offering to help via Yelp). Sorry, need to agree to disagree. There weren't that many online questions, and one would hope the purpose was to match you with the right person. But 2 of the few questions were how much my company and I personally made per year. If the firm interests you, I would recommend you call them - not use the online gatekeeper. Other reviewers are certainly positive about their interpersonal skills. I'm was just turned off by the cold "sorry no" at this point. read more

Kyle was of great help! I had a complex question and when I called, the receptionist patiently listened to my chaotic explanation, helped me decipher and organize what I was trying to ask, then set me up with a free consultation! The next day, Kyle called me and gave great advice for my inquiry! He was well informed from what I told his secretary, so I didn't have to explain everything all over again, and very polite. When I consider starting my business in the future, Nth Degree is who i'm calling. read more

Jayson left the company and he was the one handling my taxes. Well no one told me and in March I finally e-mailed Dan to find out why I hadn't heard anything yet. Keep in mind I sent all my paperwork in January. Well Dan explained the situation and apologized for the delay. My tax forms were filed within a week. I'm giving them four stars because it was a mistake and they fixed it quickly. They should have given me a discount but I'm letting that one go. I'll see how they do this year and update my review accordingly. I plan on turning in my paperwork early again, and hope to get my taxes filed earlier than March. If it takes three months again I'm knocking off stars. read more

Everyone here was really helpful and friendly. I haven't actually used them but got an estimate from them on some tax work I had. Like I said Dan was extremely friendly and seemed like he would be a pleasure to work with. My only issue was the pricing they had. They said they meet with their clients twice a year but their prices for a tax return was 4 times as high as any other accountant I had talked to (I talked to a lot getting estimates). I will say that Dan did offer to do my ammended return for free to get my business but even with that it was too expensive to take on. EDIT: I want to add after giving Nth Degree less than 5 stars, they did reach out to me wanting to fix their mistake. It really shows how much Dan cares about their business and if I hadn't found another accountant already I'd definitely work with them. read more

We've had a great experience working with the awesome team at Nth Degree. Our family has several businesses in Tacoma, and their team was extremely thorough reviewing all of our financials and creating a customized plan for the future. Having an accountant who thinks strategically and really understands our goals has been a game-changer! read more

I found these guys on Yelp. I gave them a call and was passed along to Dan. I was starting up a business and confused about which forms and what type of business I should declare. He helped me out over the phone and made everything a lot more clear. About two months later, after I had everything set up, I gave him another call to ask about filling Washington city and state tax returns. He advised me how to do so (most of my business is out of state) and told me how to write off my deductions over the phone. In February I will be going back to Dan to help me file my 1040. Dan has helped me out several times now and I haven't even paid these guys a penny. They really are excellent. Strongly recommended! (They're also really friendly) :) read more

I worked with Kyle, from Nth Degree, on an issue that was too complicated for me to do on my own. It was very mathematical and I needed to understand the implications it would have on my livelihood. Being new to a situation such as this, I was quite confused when I reached out to Nth Degree CPAs. Kyle was bright, and clearly understood my issue. Kyle was friendly, energetic and to the point. He said he'd work on it and get back to me at a specific time. He kept his word. Kyle called me and emailed me the information I needed. Because of Kyle's efficiency and expertise, I was able to make a choice based on solid mathematical facts. He truly had my best interest at heart. Based on this positive experience, I will continue working with Kyle and Nth Degree. read more

Kyle was very friendly and helpful in answering my questions and referring me to other sources, even though my tax situation is relatively straightforward and did not warrant hiring Nth Degree. read more

They are the third (and final) CPA firm for our company. They should have been our second and final firm, but another firm oversold and underdelivered. These guys undersold and overdelivered. Only recommendation I have is to oversell and overdeliver because they can pull it off. They brought back tens of thousands of dollars into our company. In the past getting an email from our CPA was like getting an email from the IRS' little brother. More work, more money, little return. I can't believe I enjoy getting and reading an email from a CPA. Everyone at this company has rock star status in my eyes. read more

Nth Degree is a great firm. I use them for all maters financial. Dan Nicholson personally handled an IRS audit for me like a champ. I would not think of using anyone else. Catch these guys before they become too popular read more

Kyle was extremely thoughtful and helpful. I got all my questions answered and feel I have a great path forward. Highly recommend.

In my free consultation, Nolan generously shared a lot of information that was very educational and useful to me. He was attuned to the things I said and the direction I've expressed I'm interested my business goes. His comments were specific and helpful. Although he advised that our business would not be able to to get the ROI from Nth degree's offerings, he offered me sound advice, per my request, on how I could proceed and what to pay attention to. I appreciate the time he spent with me despite knowing we wouldn't work together, his honesty, candor and expertise. read more

Great Company, Dan is an outstanding CPA. Keep up the good work.

I met with Jayson because I had some tax questions regarding my business. He gave me straight forward answers, helped me to understand how to move forward and put me completely at ease. I love the location in Pioneer Square, it is easy to get to and the building is a Seattle classic. I am excited to refer my friends and family to this firm, these guys know their stuff! read more

Nth Degree is my accounting firm, and I trust Dan with all financial matters. I left a previous long standing accounting relationship because of the level of comfort and customer service I experienced just in my first couple contacts with Dan. The whole team is friendly, professional, and committed to the best for you and your business. Thanks Nth Degree! read more

Dan Nicholson is setting a new standard for the CPA's in Seattle. His approach to accounting and client service is above and beyond what I have come to expect from the industry. He works hard to integrate a client's understanding of their finances with their business goals, and I've learned a tremendous amount from him. I'd recommend his services to any small or new business that wants to get off on the right foot with all their accounting needs. read more

Not your typical CPA. They go above and beyond. Their approach is to look at the entire business, not just taxes. Their background is vast and the breadth of the services they can provide is astonishing. Any one can fill out a 1040, but Nth Degree can provide businesses with the support necessary to truly manage it's finances. read more

I own a two-year-old start-up company that is in a growth phase. I never went to business school, so I don't know much about that side of things. Dan went over my entire business approach and identified some red flags that I didn't even realize were there. His advice went way beyond tax readiness, although that was definitely a part of it. Speaking of which, I also had a thorny tax issue I'd been struggling with for weeks, but Dan's team resolved it in about an hour. We were able to streamline other parts of our business virtually overnight after implementing Dan's recommendations. Plus, he paid for himself by pointing out monthly expenses that I was able to eliminate easily. Needless to say, as long as I'm doing business in Seattle, Nth Degree will be our partners. read more

I found Nth Degree CPAs on Yelp, and decide to give them a try, turns out it is a nightmare. I sent my request to Jayson, he offered to take the job with my tax problem. I sent him the document he needs, he reviewed the document and helped me sent a petition to Tax Court, everything was working great at the beginning. And all of sudden, he just stop responding to my request. He told me in the email briefly about his calculation result, WITHOUT a report. How can I proceed with the Tax Court process without a their tax report? Don't get me wrong, I offered to pay off everything if he has doubts, but he just ignore my emails. I had to hire a lawyer to deal with it, who would have thought that I have to pay more money for the service I already paid? For once I thought I can trust a firm with such good reviews, turns out we are all wrong. Be prepare that you will be disappointed before you contact with them. ---------------------------Updated 11/10----------------------------- Dan contacted me and sent his concern about the issue. I am grateful to hear that he is trying the recover the situation, although he already missed the timing that I needed to provide documents to the court. The issue seems to be resolved now and he is being really helpful and responsive. Hope you guys have more cpas like Dan! read more

Great response and help from Nth Degree CPAs Dan Nicholson! Had a question and they answered it clearly and gave me peace of mind without charging a bunch. I definitely plan on using them in the future for any accounting needs. read more

Went here based on the 5 star yelp reviews of their other location and they did not disappoint. Not only did they speed up my paperwork to get me under the deadlines for my taxes but were very internet and tech savvy. They scanned in all my documents and provided me with online copies of the returns and all my of paperwork. Did I mention they saved me a huge pile of money? read more

Jayson and Dan did a great job on both my personal and business taxes this year. Came in ahead of schedule, with great support and for less money than I paid to another firm the past few years. Much appreciated all the way around. Now I can watch the Final Four with one less thing to worry about. read more

I hired Nth Degree CPAs to prepare some business and personal filings after they became too complex and time burdensome for my partners and previous tax preparer. Nth Degree was able to not only turnaround our filings quickly (and with limited lead time before a deadline) but was able to identify material issues that were previously undetected. They were able to articulate clearly how to correct the issues identified and provide the tax impact and thus impact to my wallet that gave us the comfort to move forward. Their feedback, attention to detail and care demonstrated that they really care about their clients. If you're looking for a proactive firm that can convert Tax-speak to English, call Nth Degree CPAs. read more

BRAVO to the entire team at Nth Degree CPAs for their patience, professionalism and excellent support with my taxes this year. I am used to doing my own taxes and was not very organized with the data they needed. I appreciate the fact that they worked so well and so hard in making the process painless for me. I'm sure they also secured a larger refund than I'd have gotten on my own. I hope this is just the start of a long and fruitful relationship. My business partner and I look forward to long-term relationship with them for both our business and our personal taxes. read more

I was considering forming an LLC through which to run a small entertainment business and needed to understand tax & accounting impact of doing that. I did a consultation with Nth Degree CPAs. They did a great job of talking me through at a high level what I would need to know about tax & accounting for my LLC. I feel fully informed and able to proceed. For my small business I just needed a one-time consultation, but if the business grows and I need a CPA on an ongoing basis I am definitely going to go back to them. read more
