The partner i had been working with left to start his own company, but Armanino take no responsibiilty for their own work or helping me for those years filings with the IRS, even though i paid them for their services for those years.

Despite having worked with a CPA they hired last year for over 15 years (the reason I went to this…read morefirm) with multiple business and trust accounts, I have had nothing but trouble with my tax returns since. There have been mistakes on my returns which were prepared late, invoicing was a nightmare with scant information as to how fees were determined, claims of past due payment on invoices I never received or saw despite numerous requests for all invoices, and now I am having trouble getting my past tax returns in a form I can review/open to send to my new accounting firm so they can prepare for my 2021 return. It's as though they never knew who I was or the accounts I had with them.

I was in communication with a Wonson regarding tax return preparation. However, I found the price…read more$5k much higher than others. In order to find out more about how their process was, I investigated and was told this " The returns are prepared by a staff..." She refused to answer the question that all work is actually done in the USA. What it appears to me is that asking about their qualifications, they feel they are above that and act in very unprofessional ways. I would not recommend this firm as it is much better that an experienced tax professional actually do your own work instead of having it farmed out to someone on staff (with who knows what tax experience). I'll be going elsewhere. I wouldn't ever recommend this firm.

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Surina took the time to get to know me and my teammates well. She was able to understand our individual perspectives and how they effected our development as executives.

She was well prepared with new insights in each session. She was honest and thorough with feedback. I feel that my time with Surina helped to significantly enhance my interactions with clients, boards of directors, teammates and direct reports.

Chris at FlexTax has been my tax advisor for about three years now, and I can't recommend him…read morehighly enough. He's incredibly thorough and detail-oriented - he double and even triple checks everything to make sure your return is accurate and that he has all the right information. He's also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, which has made it easy to fit tax meetings around a busy workday. Chris really shines with more complex situations. He specializes in startups and equity compensation (ISOs, RSUs, etc.), as well as investment portfolios, so if you work at a startup or have a more complicated tax situation, you're in great hands. He takes the time to walk through everything, explains complex issues clearly, and makes the whole process feel much less stressful. He goes above and beyond by looking at prior years and making amendments if necessary to put you in a better position for future tax years. I originally started working with Chris based on a friend's recommendation, and after three years as a client, I'm very glad I did. If you're a startup employee or founder, or anyone dealing with equity and investments, I highly recommend Chris at FlexTax.
