But Lisa showed commitment to address issues and to work with me to address all concerns. *** Original Comment *** These guys are just hungry for money. I have been doing taxes with them from 2013 to 2017. For 2017 I had given all the documents well in advance. Even then my taxes were returned on the last day. I stayed up all night going through them and found a lot of errors. Even then I payed them all the money they asked for no bargaining ever. After that I got 2 letters from IRS. I contacted these guys to get help as they had done the taxes. They said they are reviewing one notice and they will be a fee to file the reply with IRS. I said I will file the reply just tell me the computation of 2017 tax addition (Just a number) They waited till the last moment and then I get a mail saying they have filled a reply and I owe them $290. When replied back I did not hear anything back and then I get hit with a $243 Net 15 invoice and If I do not pay in 10 days 18% interest. I am really upset with these guys.

I want to leave a review as a person's ability to share real thoughts, should they be good or bad. I'm pleased to say that Sundhara has worked with us for several years now.

She not only does our taxes but has always welcomed questions with quick responses! Thank you for allowing me to share these thoughts.

I recently purchased a new home in Vancouver, Washington using David Sefton as my mortgage broker…read moreand Paul Kerkar as my Realtor. I have purchased five homes over the years and I can't begin to tell you what a complete pleasure it has been doing business with these two men. David Sefton is an extremely talented and professional broker who knows how to navigate the banking system with precision, tenacity and integrity. As a full service mortgage broker, Dave's services and responsibilities included working directly with the banks, appraisers, builders/sellers and inspectors, which saved me the frustrating and daunting task of dealing with them on my own. Whether you are purchasing a new home or looking to refinance, Mr. Sefton will be honest and up front with you from the beginning and he will most certainly find you the best deal out there. I gave him a relatively narrow window of time to obtain and close on our mortgage, and he accomplished all this, through the mail, before our interest rate lock expired. Dave managed to get the job done at the lowest rate available at the time. I shopped around before committing to Mr. Sefton and he did equal to or better than anything I could have done on my own and he did all the work and got the job done faster than I could have. I highly recommend him! Thanks Dave for your patience with me and good luck to you and your family!

I thought the added fee would prove to be beneficial, but I had to do more work than I've done in previous years. I saw the 5 star reviews and thought it would be worth it. If I had used Turbotax I'd probably have an extra $400 in my pocket, with only a little bit of extra work. I could see how this may be worth it if you have a small business or a very complicated tax situation, but not worth it for the typical taxpayer, IMO.

Seeing a "Numbers" person is something I legit have dreaded. Im not kidding. Dreaded as in nausea and bad nerves. But I made a vow to myself that I was going to bring in 2018 starting out on the right foot in all ways...and this was the biggest issue. So I put out the feelers for a good accountant/tax person and Ben came up. I promptly (before I totally chickened out) made an (out of body ) appt with Ben and Im so glad I did! Ben is SO good with nervous people and people that have limited comprehension of his world. He's very patient, kind and grounded, and that alone helped me be calm. He explained things in very simple and clear terms, could tell when I was starting to get overwhelmed and would crack a joke and bring me back around. I never once felt like an idiot. I left there feeling like I have a solid basic plan to get started on. Sincerely, if you are overwhelmed by this aspect of your life because you have limited knowledge...Ben Numberman Harris is where you want to turn. Im very grateful I did.
