Sam (CPA who prepared my return) and Stan (office manager) did a fantastic job handling my and my…read moreparent's taxes this year, which were both more complex than usual. Communication was excellent ... quick, clear, and at just the right level. Most of my questions were answered quickly through their portal or via a quick call. Their portal is easy to use & efficient. I liked that I could actually see how each document was used, with markers showing exactly where numbers were pulled from in the PDFs. Their fee was reasonable, and I believe I more than made that back through their expertise. They caught items that my previous tax preparer missed, which made a real difference. If your taxes involve more than just basic W-2s or 1099s, I highly recommend working with a knowledgeable CPA like Sam. She and Stan are both great to work with. ------------ NOTE: This review is entirely my own and written solely at my own initiative.

I can't recommend Brian enough! He took my dad on as a new client after his accountant of over 30…read moreyears retired and handled two business returns plus his personal return. After working with the same accountant for so many years, we weren't sure what to expect with the transition, especially with multiple returns involved. Brian made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. He was extremely quick, responsive, organized, and easy to communicate with. He kept everything moving and made what could have felt overwhelming feel very straightforward. The turnaround time especially impressed us, everything was handled SO quickly without ever feeling rushed or like details were being overlooked. We're so happy we found Brian and feel completely confident having him handle my dad's taxes going forward. Such a refreshing experience and a huge weight off our shoulders. Highly recommend!

Personally, I'm done. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. Good riddance.

A question that could have easily been asked given my corporate job and tenure was: 'do you have any restricted stock units'. This ended up being one reason that I had to owe back taxes. When I expressed the bummer to Will, he simply said 'your documents were filed correctly and here is how it is correct' when I told him I don't expect to fix it, it's just a bummer and the only help he could provide was to acknowledge that, he responded the same way, with no empathy for this huge bill I am looking at. Will and Andrea are excellent if you plan to be your best advocate, and want fast turnarounds with great results, but only if you make sure to give them everything.

They handled both my personal and business taxes and over the years have dramatically improved the filing process, keeping it straightforward and organized. They do an excellent job of communicating what's needed, keeping everything on track, and making tax season as stress free as it can be. I have found their fees very reasonable and I've always been happy with how my returns are handled. Beyond taxes, Grant has done an outstanding job managing my investment and retirement portfolios. His advice has always been thoughtful, practical, and oriented to my stage of life and career. I genuinely feel that the recommendations he provides are made with my best interests in mind, and I've been very pleased with the growth and performance of my accounts as well. It's always a pleasure to catch up with Peter and Grant when tax season rolls around. They're knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely care about their clients.
